Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, US

Integration of log, core and production data for sequence stratigraphy-based appraisal of the San Juan Basin, New Mexico and Powder River Basin, Wyoming.

Correlated 600+ wells and tied these with core and production data in the Lowstand Deltas of the Cretaceous Frontier Formation to provide facies geomodeling support.

Describing core and thin sections combined with seismic stratigraphy to create depositional and sequence stratigraphic models of spiculite and carbonate plays in the Barents Sea as part of the 23rd License Round.Description of deepwater sandstone cores from the Donna Terrace, Offshore Mid-Norway. These core descriptions are being used to create a.

Karachi, PK

- Trained and led the Reservoir Management Team at UEP to determine current well performance and propose future drilling locations for the Cretaceous tidal B-Sands in the Southern Indus Basin. The work involved integration of core and log-data for sequence stratigraphy based facies correlations. This assignment was conducted through Applied Stratigraphix.

Stavanger, NO

Over a period of four years several sequence stratigraphy, seismic stratigraphy and sedimentology projects were conducted for VNG, initially as a full-time employee and later as a consultant. This work resulted in awards of leases from the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate, several discoveries and the creation of geomodels.

Stavanger, Rogaland, NO

- Created and led field trip to the tight-gas sandstones of the Cretaceous Williams Fork Formation in the Piceance Basin of Colorado. The field-trip focused on fluvial architecture, geomodelling, and the role of fractures in reservoir quality enhancement. This short-term project was conducted for Statoil teams in Bergen, Norway. This assignment was.

San Ramon, CA, US

As an operations geologist for the Cymric Team, assignment was to plan and execute the drilling of horizontal wells into the fractured Monterrey Shale for heavy oil recovery. Wells were drilled on a monthly basis, and responsibilities included working with drillers, land men, loggers, with days out into the field itself. Tasks included monitoring fracture.

Created sequence stratigraphic model of the mixed evaporate-siliciclastic-carbonate Paradox Formation in Utah for Delta Petroleum to look predict occurrence of Potash and oil-bearing sandstones.

Multiple short-term projects on the Bakken Shale and Three Forks plays of the Williston Basin in North Dakota. This included core description of 19 key wells to identify dolomitized zones that created microporosity. Phase 1 was on the sedimentology of the reservoir, and lithofacies were used to create environments of deposition. Phase 2 focused on sequence.

Used 3D seismic, core and well-log data from the Pri-Caspian Basin, offshore Kazakhstan to determine the distribution of Carboniferous-Permian carbonate build-ups.

US

Part of the ExxonMobil Upstream Research Company’s mud-rock sequence stratigraphy team. This was prior to Exxxonmobil’s purchase of XTO and work was conducted under the direct supervision of Dr. Kevin Bohacs. A new team was created that developed sequence stratigraphic concepts for shale plays. The role focused on description of over 500 thin-section.

San Ramon, CA, US

Created sequence stratigraphic and depositional models for input into a simulation model in a mixed carbonate-clastic system from the Cretaceous of Angola, West Africa.

Assignment was to describe the Bakken Formation in cores from 27 key wells in the Williston Basin of North Dakota. Description focused on natural fracture types, their orientation, density and relationship to hydrocarbon saturation. Trace fossils were also described and the effect of bioturbation was tested on reservoir quality.

Stillwater, OK, US

This was a project funded by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists and was conducted at Oklahoma State University. The primary objective was to explain erratic production from fractured dolomitized carbonates of the Fim Kassar Oil Field in the Potwar Basin of Pakistan. The work was performed in conjunction with reservoir engineers at the Oil and.
