• Performed data mining, petrophysical evaluation of candidate wells and basin-wide calibration in deep-water Brazil. • Prepared a database of quality-controlled well-logs (LQCs) for eight Campos Basin wells from raw well-log data. • Performed lithology interpretation, calculated petrophysical summaries and determined basin-wide depth trends. • Developed a rock physics model after upscaling the LQC data from well-log scale to seismic scale as a part of the Quantitative Interpretation (QI) workflow. Various software including Techlog, ArcMap were used. Python scripting was used in the QI workflow.
