• Regional mapping of distinctive XRF facies and elemental assemblages were used to describe intervals in the Wolfcamp to reduce the ambiguity of subsurface characterization to understand variability in production• Field-scale chemostratigraphic characterization of the Wolfcamp (Delaware Basin) using XRF from core/cuttings• Created and trained a random forest machine learning model to accurately predict chemostratigraphic facies in quad-combo wireline longs for over 1300 wells• Performed well log analysis and stratigraphic correlations throughout the Delaware Basin• Unsupervised learning was used to analyze trace elements that correlate geochemical TOC rich rock packages• Characterized depositional settings from XRF in core and cuttings data in core• Back steered 15 legacy wells and applied quad-combo log curves to lateral XRF data• Utilized XRF facies to improve core descriptions and core sedimentological sequences from Wolfcamp Fm core• Recommended the value proposition of an additional XRF cuttings program to exploration and development

Data Scientist Knime Analytics integration with Python and R for the next level of digitization for the future of E&P• Assisted a team of petreotechnical advisors working to develop more efficient techniques to digitizes and integrate historical data from Mexico bidding blocks • Developed a proof of concept to mine data from hundreds of well logs (.tif, .las, .pdf, .png, .lis, etc) for geophysical and geochemical properties from new venture data to save time• Used Knime analytics to capture key text information from petroleum basin analysis .pdf’s categorize documents with decision trees and frequency analysis• Extracted well block curves from .las to create basis for lithology classification. • Integrated Knime and R to for principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchy cluster (HCA) dendrograms were applied to biostratigraphy data to identify patterns in stratigraphic sequence tracts MSF, TST, HST in Alaska• PCA and HCA were used to interpret the geochemistry of oil from Caribbean basins for depositional lacustrine, carbonate, and siliciclastic environments. • Machine learning and neural networks (Python Tensorflow, R) were used to develop new methods of interpreting data

3rd Place Finalist in the Easter Section Competition. 3D seismic analysis of the Cooper Basin Austrailia • Awarded 3rd Place at the Eastern Section in Pittsburg, PA• Utilized Petrel to interpret 3D seismic data and well logs within the Cooper Basin. Correlated formation tops, converted volume to depth with seismic-well ties, selected key horizons, created surfaces and isopachs, analyzed seismic attributes• Attributes maps for variance, RMS, spectral decomposition, and AVO interpret the stratigraphic petroleum system. • Calculated GIIP volumetric and risks for 4 prospects.
