• Rated as Outperforming for two consecutive years.• Negotiated processing flow for large multi-client project, offshore Brazil, to ensure appropriate fast-track products were delivered in the requisite timeframe.• Scoped, tendered and evaluated dual-processing of new acquisition, onshore Bolivia, in a very challenging area for imaging. Promoted reprocessing of vintage data to support the case for awarding to two independent contractors.• Scoped, tendered and evaluated reprocessing of offshore 2D datasets in Honduras and Myanmar. • Presented three technical papers at EAGE Madrid and received positive feedback.• Coded a residual velocity analysis tool using MATLAB, which gave excellent results and benefited interpretation in a frontier basin with little well control.• Supported QI team in conditioning datasets from many areas. Involved in technical discussions around QI analysis and optimising workflows to extract the maximum value from our seismic datasets.• Supported multi-client processing project from offshore UK.• Generated derivative interpretation products for several assets.• Attended internal training course on Reservoir Appraisal and Development.• Provided technical advice on use of seismic velocity models for pore pressure prediction.• Contributed to seismic processing awareness course for geologists and geophysicists with no hands-on experience of processing or imaging.
