SUMMARY

Geophysicist with 8 years’ experience in seismic data processing, model building and imaging (Time/Depth). Good grasp of geological and geophysical principles. Seeking job position to pursue more knowledge, grow and broaden experience in depth. Motivated in performing aspects of 2D and 3D land and marine data processing to contribute and solve the toughest imaging problems to E&P companies. Demonstrated the most advanced seismic processing & imaging tools to develop hydrocarbons safely and efficiently. Persuaded to contribute experience to potential employer. Besides processing, a previous 10 years in Exploration & Production Company with experience in seismic data interpretation and prospect evaluation with hands on Kingdom suite, mapping skills, beside some experience in seismic data management.

TECHNICAL SKILLS

Basic knowledge using ProMax & Perceous seismic time processing tools, and in depth a group of Galaxy workspace tools.

Primus: Tool for 2D/3D Kirchhoff, PreStack depth migration (PSDM) projects

Imaging Tools: PrimeTime: Tool for 2D/3D Kirchhoff, Prestack Time migration (PSTM) projects

ReverseTime: RTM, for Prestack Depth Migration, based on full two way wave

Equation, more capability for complex, thrust, steep dips, turning rays, & multiples

Optimus: Wave Equation tool, for 2D/3D PSDM, unlike Kirchhoff it correctly

Predicts the phase of all arrivals, better image beneath rugose high velocity

Velocity Tools: iModel: Integrated velocity construction toolkit, operated through Sirius Galaxy

Sirius: model package for horizon picking, gridding, editing and seismic picking

Apk Update: move out tool of migrated gathers, it also outputs parameter files to be used for vertical velocity update and to perform tomography

Tomo: Tomographic Inversion tool for high quality updates of depth imaged data

Integrated tools: Mvwr: Tool for viewing and QC the datasets for Galaxy, ProMax and Sirius

Pta & Cjm: pta is tool for direct ProMax data access system, without reformatting

to StE or copying to clusters. Cjm is a tool for Queue and monitor clusters jobs

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

ION, Houston, TX 2009 - 2014

Processing Geophysicist

Creative, with proven ability to solve problems. Confident in individual performance and a good team player after years with broad customer base & strong DP&I provider. Promoted customer satisfaction and derived ION to provide quality driven unique & accurate solutions, information-rich images in depth, for E&P companies.

Managed imaging projects, prepare seismic data for processing and running depth imaging projects

Performed re-imaging seismic data to implement new techniques and solve problems with new ideas

Carefully QC the results of each update to reduce errors and running cost without scarifying quality

Identified and suggested geophysical products that could yield added value to the client on projects

Oversaw and mentor less experienced co-workers, train new hires and value others contributions

Performed geophysical parameter testing and managing production processing workflows on clusters

Collaborated with seismic interpreters, processing and imaging teams to address complex processing

problems, implement new ideas to ensure maximum efficiency and quality on time

Ability to manage multiple imaging projects simultaneously with great desire to innovate

Keen problem recognition (noises and multiples within primaries) and resolution skills

Prepared and supply technical reports on assigned geophysical projects with a set of deadlines

GXT (Now part of ION), Houston, TX 2006 - 2009

Geophysicist

Generate, update velocity models with integration of borehole data to utilize (PSTM, PSDM)

and help in post-migration optimization

Contributed to sub-salt, dirty salt imaging and targeted beneath these challenging deposits

Ability to meet challenges in areas of large velocity variations, such as shale and salt diapers

Worked on data from frontier areas, salt tectonics, and areas of high structural complexity

Assisted my mentor in running, QC jobs and all other duties as assigned, and self-motivated

Subjected to intensive in-house training in time processing (usage of ProMax) and imaging

(PSTM and PSDM)

GEOPHYSICAL PROJECTS

Fully confident and believe that the following projects: West Africa, Gulf of Mexico, East Africa, Canada, Brazil, India, Greenland, Arafura, Beaufort, North Sea, Labrador, …etc. are some of the challenging environments I recently engaged in time and depth imaging around the globe. They provided me an excellent opportunity to best utilize my skills, and will build up additional experience while contributing to the potential company as a part of geoscience team

EDUCATION

Master’s degree in Geoscience, University of Texas at Dallas (UTD), Dallas, TX

Bachelor of Science in Geology, University of Khartoum, Sudan

COMPUTER SKILLS

Utilizing PC-based, Unix/Linux and Work Stations environments

TECHNICAL TRAINING

Developed in continuous education through Kbase (GXT knowledge-base), which is a collaborated

environment for sharing internal geoscience knowledge and management

Networked learning management system through ION University, a large array of differing content s from technical (100th geological and geophysical online courses) to soft skills such as communications & QHSE
