A dynamic rresults-oriented Petrophysicist with more than 22 years of international technical expertise on diversified projects in a range of geological settings in Canada, Kazakhstan, Sudan and China working with both service and operating companies. Areas of expertise include log & core program designs, petrophysical data acquisition, reservoir evaluation, and integrated field studies. Recognized for high performance standards with a strong sense of personal integrity and continuously updating on technology.

SELECTED HIGHLIGHTS

• Delivered quantitative formation evaluation results for 1200+ wells for Shell Peace River Venture Heavy Oil Projects by developing the workflows and the procedures for evaluating and interpreting logs.

• Developed and led a reservoir characterization study of volcanic formation for Jidong Oil Company by developing integrated study workflow & procedures, integrating new technology, and defining the final deliverables. The study introduced the application and benefits provided by Schlumberger (e.g.FMI, CMR, ECS, MDT, and Seismic Inversion) to other China National Petroleum Corp (CNPC) operating units working in complex geological settings.

• Planned, recruited and quality controlled petrophysical service companies for Sun Wing Energy Limited for hundreds of production and exploration wells.

• Successfully designed, coordinated and supervised logging programs and core programs for more than thousands of open-hole and cased- hole wells.

• Processed and interpreted conventional well logs, FMI, DSI, ECS and CMR for more than thousands of wells to support geology and other disciplines by providing them with the results of reservoir properties, log facies analysis, fracture properties, stratigraphic properties evaluation, rock mechanical properties analysis, borehole stability analysis. Conducted multi-well correlation under a range of geological settings.

• Processed, evaluated and supervised cased hole logs such as CBL, VDL, RST, Production logs, tracer logs, cased erosion prediction logs.

• Knowledge of reservoir engineering technology, production operation and drilling activities

CAREER HISTORY

Senior Petrophysicist 2008-2010

Shell Canada Ltd.(Heavy Oil Projects), Calgary

Managed petrophysical database, quantitatively evaluated formation properties, and supported other disciplines and ongoing drilling activities, designed log and core data acquisition programs for upcoming wells and monitored the production well performance. Provided petrophysical input in integrated studies for Field Development projects and screening portfolio opportunities for Peace River Venture (Northern Seal & Caddote, Western Seal and Southern Seal, Harmon Valley, Reno and Dawson areas in Canada).

• Developed the workflows of tracking records of logs & core data and methodology for formation evaluation through analyzing 400+ wells with core data available.

• Managed the technical assurance process, reported and delivered quantitative evaluated results for 1200+ wells that enabled a series of projects to move forward from pr-DG1 to DG2.

• Conducted and participated in the development of the proposals for logging and core programs for potential wells

• Conducted and participated in designing the production log program to monitor production well performance.

Senior Petrophysicist and BDM (Business Development Manager) for DCS 2007-2008

Schlumberger, Bejing, China

Working with people – coached and guided junior Petrophysicists, introduced and developed business opportunities focused on field studies, innovative technical application.

Working with clients - continuously improved the relationships with three National Chinese Oil Companies (CNPC, CNOOC and CNOPEC). Coordinated and managed the ongoing projects by organizing internal peer review and periodic timely review of results with clients, seeking feedback, and proposing solutions for service issues.

• Promoted new technologies (e.g.FMI, CMR, ECS, MDT) widely used in complicated formations evaluation in complex geological settings such as carbonate, volcanic, and metamorphic in China oil fields through successful delivering effective formation evaluation approaches, fracture distribution, reservoir properties distribution and eventually identifying potential good sweet spots for drilling location in the reservoir characterization study for vocanic geological setting to Jidong Oil Company (CNPC).

• Initiated, planned, and organized workshops for applying new technologies and brought the successful practices which Schlumberger provided worldwide to Chinese Oil Companies, which triggered the continuous use of Schlumberger’s technology support CNPC’S carbonate reservoir development.

• Recovered account payables with the amount of $22k for one of the field studies.
