Remote geosteering, geosteered HZ wells in Oklahoma for Halliburton.
Integrate geological and geophysical data for accurate formation evaluation and reservoir characterization. Provide innovative client relationship management through proactive consultations to develop, implement and optimize future roadmaps and contingencies.
Applying interdisciplinary knowledge in detecting critical reservoir development deficiencies; providing solutions for risk assessment, improving profitability to liability ratio.
HALLIBURTON, Houston, TX
Senior Field Geosteering Specialist (full time, multiple projects) 2018 - 2019
Geosteered HZ wells in Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Argentina. Maximized exposure of wellbore within reservoir sections.
Performed feasibility studies, pre-job modeling (forward modeling) for log response along planned trajectory in reservoirs, meeting operator’s objective.
Interpreted real-time data and current model for using gamma, average resistivity, azimuthal gamma, and azimuthal resistivity.
Employed real time critical analysis, delivering above average reservoir exposure to all clients.
RPS ENERGY (former ECL, Energy Consultants), Calgary, AB, Canada, and Houston, TX
Operations Geologist and Consulting Geophysicist (multiple projects) 2006 – 2018
Formation evaluation of reservoir rocks. Provided geological field supervision for coring, conventional drilling, and extended reach operations in North America (AB, BC, SK, CA, AK). HZ wells geosteered for ENI: onshore / offshore North Slope - Alaska; OXY: onshore - Elk Hills - California; Suffield for Encana / Cenovus - Alberta. HZ wells in Deep Water Exploration Wells Offshore West Africa:
Stratigraphic interpretation of MWD / LWD data for well trajectory and geosteering, maximizing exposure of wellbore within reservoir sections. Conducted real time interpretation, comparing real-time data and current model for gamma and average resistivity, azimuthal gamma, resistivity, and density.
Formation evaluation of reservoir rocks, helping investors determine best drilling location, and minimize losses.
Recommended adjusting well trajectory, elaborating contingency plans in conformity with geological structure using real time interpretation, and improving response time.
Prepared End of Well final reports, including geosteering summary of current well, and recommendations for future wells, injectors, and producers.
