Providing the simulator of choice to address geomechanical field development and subsurface integrity challenges by accurately describing dynamic pore pressure, deformation & fluid flow processes.

Working on consultancy projects with Jorg Herwanger and Petter Poppov using GeoFlow (fully coupled geomechanics and multi-phase flow) simulator.

Part of the team that have devolved Ikon's fully coupled Geomechanics and flow simulator and ran the first commercial consultancy project. Personally responsible for developing data visualisation methods and standard test models that can be used to benchmark simulation results against known analytical solutions. Consequently developed a good understanding of the building and interpretation of both reservoir and Geomechanical models.Have also worked on Wellbore stability and Fault seal… Show more Part of the team that have devolved Ikon's fully coupled Geomechanics and flow simulator and ran the first commercial consultancy project.

Consequently developed a good understanding of the building and interpretation of both reservoir and Geomechanical models.Have also worked on Wellbore stability and Fault seal projects for large operators. A number of these projects involved developing rapid prototypes of functionality that would eventually be included into Ikon's software portfolio. Show less

Designed and ran computer simulations on subduction zones and continental collision. This hopefully will lead to better understanding of the surface expression of the break-off of a previously subducted oceanic plate. These simulation lead to two publication one on the topographic response to slab break-off and another on the roll of slab break of in the exhumation UHP metamorphic terrains. Simulations where run using CITCOM a parallel finite element convection code. I adapted this… Show more Designed and ran computer simulations on subduction zones and continental collision.
