Geophysicist working the UKCS 30th offshore licensing round.

Primary role as a Geophysicist delivering quality seismic interpretation integrated with rock physics models to high grade prospectivity in the West of Shetlands and Northern North Sea. Specific focus has been on the Flett sub-Basin progressing the company’s understanding of the benefits and challenges of using AVO and Inversion to de-risk prospects. Part of the role has been technical QA/QC of team’s work to ensure peer review standard with continuous mentoring and development of staff.

Exploration geophysicist role re-mapping Rotliegendes and Carboniferous opportunities over ENGIE’s licences for near-field opportunities. Key achievements include full seismic interpretation and prospect evaluation over Q44 on new CGG Lodestone multi-client data. New interpretation used to plan wells on near field Cygnus well (44/12a-6) and opportunity south of Cygnus (44/18-4). Also significantly de-risked Triassic Bunter sandstone prospect through identification of subtle AVO anomaly not… Show more Exploration geophysicist role re-mapping Rotliegendes and Carboniferous opportunities over ENGIE’s licences for near-field opportunities.

New interpretation used to plan wells on near field Cygnus well (44/12a-6) and opportunity south of Cygnus (44/18-4). Also significantly de-risked Triassic Bunter sandstone prospect through identification of subtle AVO anomaly not previously seen and then tied into regional geological understanding. Prior that Lead Geophysicist on the Cygnus development, Southern North Sea. Part of a multi-discipline team that took the Cygnus field from appraisal to sanction. Responsibilities involved being ENGIE UK geophysicist on 2 appraisal wells, offshore supervisor on VSP, primary geophysicist on seismic acquisition and PSDM processing project and re-interpretation of field to sanction case model. Involved in post- and pre-stack inversion projects and conducted internal rock physics study and seismic net-pay calculation for placement of development wells in ‘sweet spots’ on field. Depth conversion sensitivity and geostatistical analysis study conducted to better understand GRV uncertainty in field. Show less
