Objective
To contribute my petrophysical skills to an exploration, production, or development team focused on West Coast, Gulf Coast, or Middle East basins.
Capabilities Profile
Manager of Petrophysics, Senior Operations Geologist, Project Engineer, and Petrophysicist, accumulating 26 years experience in well log evaluation techniques, well completion, perforating, cementing, drill stem testing, and the integration of sidewall and conventional core results. I also was involved in training for new engineers. I have a strong work ethic, proven leadership abilities, and good communication skills.
EXPERIENCE
AVASTHI Cons., Houston, Tx. Sr. Petrophysicist Consultant (Apr 2008- Mar 2009)
Worked for REPSOL YpF of Spain on one of their Argentina projects as Senior Petrophysical consultant with an integrated multi-national team of engineers. Duties involved the support of multi-mineral interpretations in highly complex carbonate and shaly sandstone reservoirs for the visualization and conceptualization phases of a study utilizing IP (Interactive Petrophysics of Schl.) software. Duties included log normalization, rock typing, cutoffs, core data interpretation, evaluation and optimization of development concepts, and preparation of evaluations for field development
FUGRO-JASON,Petrophysicist,Employee,Houston,Tx.(Oct.2007- Apr. 2008 )
Worked in Venezuela as Senior Petrophysicist for PDVSA with a team of engineers from different disciplines in an integrated reservoir delineation project. Duties involved using Landmark, Halliburton, and Petroworks software to validiate, QC, and normalize wireline open and cased hole logs from different service companies and core and formation water analyses for dynamic reservoir interpretation. Multi-mineral lithology interpretations involving thin bedded oil and gas producing shaly sand reservoirs were prepared and decisions made for the drilling of oil, gas, and water injection wells.
Schlumberger,Petrophysicist,Consultant,Trinidad and Tobago (2007/May-Sept.07)
Completed a feasibility study of an offshore field for Repsol YPF, in Republic of Trinidad & Tobago as Senior Petrophysicist, Consultant.Working with an international team from different disciplines. Evaluated the protential of young turbiditic sandstones,producing from 34 zones,by using Schlumberger's Petroview Plus,and Interactive Petrophysics softwares. Getting the framework done, we mainly worked on quality control and editing of all wireline and MWD logs, integration of wireline and production data to get better saturation, and permeability, porosity agreement with reservoir conditions, normalization of wireline logs to get better clay content and mineralogy to create a living static model for the reservoir studies.
IHS Energy, Houston, Tx., USA, Petrophysicist (Jan.2007-May, 2007)
Quality control, editing and merging of all kinds of open hole electrical, and porosity logs recorded by different wireline and MWD Mud Log service companies as reference to Oil Companies requirements with using Powerlog software. Applied petrophysical interpretation skills and experience,especially focused on Gulf Coast, Midland, Africa, Alaska and Middle East data parameters.
Knowledge Reservoir, Houston Tx., USA,Petrophysicist,Consultant (2006-2007)
Part time consultancy for BP America Inc.'s Wamsutter tight gas sandstone project. using Petcom's PowerLog Software. Duties included the normalization of GR and interpretation of shaly gas producing intervals.
TPAO (Turkish Petroleum Co.,Exploration Group)Operations Geologist (1990-04)
Involved in projects focused on the delineation of fractured Cretaceous carbonate reservoirs found in southeastern Turkey and throughout the Middle East. Applied state-of-the-art Schlumberger wireline well-log evaluation techniques. Evaluated thin, tight, oil and gas bearing Eocene and Miocene age sand reservoirs in the Thrace Basin and planned well completion and workover programs. Utilized wellbore data to prepare subsurface maps and cross sections to integrate new well data into the regional picture.
TPAO, Manager of Petrophysics (1985–1990)
Evaluated all wireline logs taken by the company and made recommendations for perforations, well completions, and cementation. Trained company engineers on wire-line log techniques and assisted the exploration group regarding logging and interpretation needs. Prepared annual logging expense budgets and closely monitored the daily expenses submitted by service companies.
TPAO, Petrophysicist (1980-1985)
Witness to many well site company logging operations ( Schlumberger & Halliburton) Made quick look evaluations of hydrocarbons present in the target reservoirs and informed supervisors of my findings; the purpose of which is to determine if the well should be abandoned. Key deliverables from well site included water saturation, porosity, water resistivity, and net pay values. Later performed more detailed analysis in the processing center, including shifts of core to log depth, and the adjustment of Vshale clay content to the appropriate water satu - ration equation. Lab-derived permeability values were integrated into these analyses as well as fracture data from dipmeters and image logs
TPAO,Mudlogger (1978–1980)
Well-site work that included description of cuttings, monitoring of the hydrocarbon gases and visual shows, mud weights, pit volumes, and drilling activities.
