Design and generates accurate 2D/3D directional well plans using various planning methods such as build/turn rate, optimum align and dogleg/toolface that is integrated in COMPASS.Design and generates appropriate well bore survey program by matching the right survey tools with the best suited survey error models in accordance with company anti collision policy.Carry out input validation analysis on survey data (real time) for QC/QA using COMPASS survey editor.Conducts project ahead analysis on the planned well path from the last survey points using curve and hold method or optimum align to ensure the well is on target otherwise get it back on track.Carries out point interpolation on the survey data to determine the position and vector direction of those points that falls off the survey stations to ensure smoothness of the well trajectory.Design the most suitable casing and drilling program for different hole section with respect to geologic formation and hole geometry.Design an appropriate cement program according to down hole requirements and also proposed and indicate top of cement for each casing string annulus.Propose the most suitable flow rate and the best suited mud rheology for effective hole cleaning and cutting transport for vertical and horizontal well.Design and model the most appropriate BHA with which to kick off directional well and maintained directional control at buld up, tangent and drop off section.Carries out torque and drag analysis using WELLPATH OPTIMIZER in COMPASS and WELLPLAN drilling application to determine the working limit of BHA and drill string with respect to torsional, tension and Compression loads. Generate loads of reports on anti-collision analysis, BHA performance,end of well reports and making presentations.Leads a small but highly experience multi-discipline team of three man in delivering the best engineering solution in the area of stuck pipe/well bore mechanical problem, loss circulation and well control.

Identification of oil and gas show using Stain, Fluorescence, Refractive index andResidue method* Accurate determination of coring and casing setting depth using shale factor [ CEC]* Carried out real time well monitoring to ensure that primary well control were maintained* Real time evaluation and interpretation of hydrocarbon with depth in other to optimise andcharacterise the reservoir* Prediction of pore pressure and evaluation using D- exponent.* Monitored, analysed and interpreted drilling parameters such as Background Gas,ROP,WOB and Torque in order to reduce non productive time [NPT] during drillingoperations* Participated in the execution of all mud logging functions* Ensured that integrity of well data's were maintained and also participated in training ofjunior loggers* Preparation of final well reports to be submitted to the base office* Communicates to all rig personnel about any changes noticed in the formation whiledrilling

Participated in collection of drill cuttings from shakers, desander and desilter for furtheranalysis and interpretation in the laboratory* Ensured drill cuttings were appropriately washed of all unwanted material and sortedaccording to size and shape* Ensured that the logging unit were clean at all time* Accurately observed pore pressure trend to ensure it conform with that of offset well data* Monitored and observed ROP[Rate of Penetration] trend to detect a drilling break
