INTRODUCTORY PROFILE

Analytically-minded Petrophysicist enjoying 13 years’ oil and gas industry experience on an international stage; exposed to multiple well drilling operations (vertical, deviated, horizontal and multilateral) alongside geological / drilling operations planning and geo-steering in alignment with Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and budgetary controls. Played integral role accurately characterizing reservoirs (sandstone/carbonate) to reduce uncertainty while securing critical petrophysical parameters (net pay, water saturation, porosity, net reservoir, shale volume and net to gross ratio) essential for static and dynamic modelling. Enhanced well productivity via effective production surveillance and use of cased hole logging. Professional achievements and early career highlights in geology are underpinned by a strong academic background – recently studying reservoir engineering, petroleum geoscience, drilling engineering, formation evaluation, petroleum economics and production technology at a leading UK university (Distance Learning). Recently enhanced specialist knowledge surrounding hydrocarbon reservoir geology, performance and management via professional development. Tech-savvy; experienced user of Conventional core analysis (CCAL), Special Core Analysis (SCAL), Interactive Petrophysics, Elan and Techlog, as well as UNIX and LINUX commands in Geo-frame alongside Logging while drilling (LWD) and wire line tools - receptive to new and emerging technologies.
