GEOSCIENCE EXPERIENCE & CAREER PATHS - “CRITICAL THINKING A MUST”
EXPERTISE
Accomplished Geologist with wide-ranging expertise in Reservoir Development and Exploration practices for sandstone and carbonate reservoirs. Courses and Consultancy topics include:
- Correlation Principles Reservoir Flow Units supported by Lorenz porosity and permeability data and interpretation.
- Rock Type characterization from hand specimens, thin sections, scanning electron microscopy, and mercury injection capillary pressure. Explanation and interpretation of the tools.
- Geochemical fingerprinting of produced oils for understanding reservoir connectivity and compartmentalization. Clarifies and differentiates productive intervals in each well.
- Differentiation of Dolomite vs. Limestone reservoirs, keys to porosity development and economical accumulations for production.
- Source rock migration for reservoir filling and guidelines for exploration process from risk assessment, pool sizes, lease sale for properties, and exploration drilling.
- Basic geologic understanding of differing rocks and the role they play in commercial and non-commercial applications.
- Case histories of producing fields around the world, US Gulf of Mexico, Alaska, North Sea, Trinidad, and Caspian Basin of Azerbaijan.
- Asset depletion planning and implementation of full cycle reservoir development. Teaching and mentoring of multi-disciplinary subsurface staff members, with emphasis on cultural attention and direction.
