I have significantly adjusted various project environments, effectively supporting operational activities, forecasting, and business planning. Additionally, I have maximized experience utilizing advanced tools in wireline and logging-while-drilling operations. These tools encompass NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance), Ultra-Deep Resistivity, Ultrasonic Imager, Elemental Spectroscopy, Sigma for water saturation calculation, Spectral Gamma Ray, and Sonic. I have successfully implemented and applied these state-of-the-art tools to identify lithology and characterize reservoir zones containing fluids in Carbonate and clastic reservoirs. As a Senior Petrophysicist, I led the formation evaluation by analyzing reservoir rocks and fluid properties. I developed petrophysical models focusing on clastic and carbonate reservoirs by Maximizing different data sources, including well logs, Special core analysis, and production data, to create comprehensive models for reservoir characterization by utilizing advanced petrophysical techniques to gain insights into essential reservoir properties such as porosity, permeability, saturation, lithology, and pressure data.
