PERSONAL PROFILE

Practical petrophysicist with 25 years career in international integrated operations and studies, related to exploration and production projects. Successful reinterpretation of log data for an important oil discovery in Northern Iraq (integration of open and cased hole data with local geological knowledge).

Extensive experience with both clastic and carbonate reservoirs and all types of reservoir fluids in different countries. Familiar with both conventional well logging and MWD/LWD techniques and data. Preparation and tender evaluation from MWD/LWD and well logging programes including coring opérations and RCA and SCAL studies. Standard operating procedures for CH logging operations log database construction and use. Log Interpretation Training of local staff in different countries.

Projects have ranged from single log analysis of old E-Log data to recent wells with advanced technology and multi-well field studies. Experienced in integration and incorporation of all available data sets (mud logs, core data RCA, SCAL, MDT, DST) in project /asset evaluations. Good experience in CH

Hard-working, self-motivated, and experienced in solving problems in a resourceful manner. Good communication skills. Accomplished organisational and interpersonal skills gained in working in multi-disciplinary teams in different countries, with different cultures and challenging work environments.
