About

Helping oil and gas exploration companies de-risk exploration and increase production since 2006. Geophysicist with in-depth knowledge of seismic processing, sedimentary and salt interpretation techniques in the Oil & Gas industry. A broad range of experience including interpreting seismic data from North America, the Caribbean, Europe and the Artic. Extensive knowledge of Time pre-processing (de-noise and de-multiple techniques), PreSTM and PreSDM imaging techniques, depth velocity model building and image driven tomography methods for processing of Land and Marine seismic data. Excellent ability to communicate with various types of people and personalities to aid in cultivating client relationships, while having positive interactions with colleagues. Focused on delivering accurate work that not only meets but exceeds strict deadlines without compromising quality.

Time and depth Production Processing geophysicist in charge of marine land and OBC (2D and 3D) pre-processing Pre-STM and Pre-SDM imaging. Completed time and depth processing of twenty-five thousand (25,000) square km of multi-client onshore, OBC and offshore 3D seismic data from GOM (Mississippi Canyon, Atwater, Lloyd Range, DeSoto Canyon and Campeche Onshore Mexico). Time and depth anisotropic velocity model, stacks and gathers delivered to de-risk exploration drilling programs for BP, Shell, Hess and Anadarko in Deepwater GOM. These initial multiclient processing projects led to three (3) proprietary seismic projects to de-risk production targets in the “Appamatox” complex and the “Independence” Hub consortium. Prepared and presented internal/external data reviews with PowerPoint presentations. Used live client data reviews to decrease project turnaround and facilitate quick decisions.

In charge of Time Pre-Processing, Pre STM and Post-processing of the Columbus Basin and North American marine datasets. Orchestrated pre-processing production of marine seismic surveys, behind the boat processing and re- processing of vintage seismic data through the entire processing flow from Tape Load through Pre-STM and client deliverables. Designed and implemented data processing production of marine seismic data that included; advanced specialist pre-processing and PSTM e.g. 3DSRME which was the first successful implementation of 3DRSME in Columbus Basin by ION GXT Trinidad for BHP Billiton. Resulted in BHP gas discovery in 2008. Prepared client presentations of production pre-processing, PSTM migration, and post migration processing results.
