I was based permanently onsite in Hess Perth where I supported the users in all their tasks related to Paradigm. This includes software support, data loading and workflow assistance for the full suite of Paradigm applications. I have also recently worked with the subsurface team on building their depth calibrated velocity model using my skills in depth conversion. I formulated a company wide policy for moving all data from Paradigm to Petrel.Regional Support for Velocity Modelling and Depth Conversion: Woking, UK (2006-2010)I moved back Paradigm's uk office in Woking in 2006, where I primarily supported Explorer and Geodepth along with occasional support for the interpretation suite of software. I completed velocity modelling consultancy projects for Nexen and ExxonMobil, along with providing product training for several other companies.STATOIL in Stavanger, Norway (2004-2006)I was based in Statoil’s headquarters in Stavanger, Norway for the first 2 years with Paradigm. I was primarily involved in supporting Paradigm’s Time to Depth conversion software, Explorer. Duties included fixing software problems, teaching Explorer courses and occasional consultancy work, for all of Statoil’s offices in Norway (Stavanger, Bergen, Harstad) and the Statoil London office. Significant improvements in Explorer such as the well data management tools developed as a direct result of my experiences and the feedback provided by the Statoil users themselves. Show less

Subsurface geological and geophysical description for the North Sea, Algeria, the Gulf of Mexico and Egypt. Working for a small company (4 employees), gave me good first-hand experience of the day to day running of such a company. Often working independently I advanced my organisational skills immeasurably. Also with short project turnover times, my advanced level use of Microsoft Excel and Powerpoint were essential to provide a rapid, high quality product.Technical skills developed… Show more Subsurface geological and geophysical description for the North Sea, Algeria, the Gulf of Mexico and Egypt.
