Designed technical training for global pool of geoscientists on subsurface data interpretation workflows, ensuring high standards and effective integration of emerging technologies.

Enhanced reservoir characterization through integrating seismic, well log, and core data in detailed stratigraphic analysis to support well planning, execution, and optimization of hydrocarbon potential. Recommendations and interpretations were presented to management, contributing to risk assessments, resource evaluations, and strategic decision-making.

In charge of all the efforts dedicated to exploring the Gulf of America Deepwater – Green Canyon protraction area. Tasks involved identifying and maturing prospects using a play-based approach, assessing volumetric ranges and risks, building a portfolio of access options, and evaluating farm-in opportunities to recommend high-graded options for access.

Responsible for evaluating play concepts, regional mapping, and identifying new exploration opportunities for Shenzi Field – DW GoA. Conduct stratigraphic and structural interpretations. Mature well targets to drill-ready status and assist the Well Planning Team with well design and regulation compliance.

Implementation of depth migration, imaging workflows, amplitude analysis, and modeling/seismic data processing techniques, to extract meaningful information from an extensive 3D seismic database over DW Gulf of America.

Coordinated and implemented 3D seismic acquisition, as well as evaluated legacy subsurface data to maintain drill queue, optimize field development, and assist with reservoir characterization, static modeling, and dynamic simulation efforts for EOR projects.
