Enthusiastic and versatile Structural Geologist applied in the subsurface exploration and development of hydrocarbon resources and characterization of the Earth’s subsurface to de-risk radioactive waste disposal sites. Primarily, I work in the characterization and analysis of surface and subsurface geological structures related to different tectonic regimes (e.g. extensional, contractional, strike-slip, inversion) in the full scale range, from sub-seismic well-/reservoir-scale, through inter-well outcrop-scale, to seismic-/regional-scale.Post-PhD experience (6+ yrs.) as a consultant Structural Geologist Specialist and Petroleum Geoscientist on regional- to reservoir-scale projects from exploration (basin-to-prospect assessment of hydrocarbon potential, asset evaluation and near-field exploration) to appraisal, development and re-development. Ability to perform diverse and complex geological analysis in multiple concurrent projects by integrating various data and disciplines embracing innovation and creative thinking to address varied challenges for the exploration, characterisation and modelling of the subsurface. Experience (4+ yrs.) in providing various geological consultancy services to the Swiss National Cooperative for the Disposal of Radioactive Waste (Nagra).My main technical skills are: 2D/3D seismic interpretation with attribute analysis (Petrel, Kingdom Suite, OpendTect), 2D/3D structural model building and validation (Move, Petrel), play-based lead-to-prospect generation and maturation, pre- to post-drill evaluation including resource and risk assessment, fault and fracture network characterisation for reservoir modelling (integrating core description, well-logs, image-logs, seismic and outcrop analogues), DFN modelling, static reservoir modelling.Co-leader of several field-based and in-house training courses for O&G companies on exploration in thrust belts and characterization of fractured carbonate reservoirs.Proven track record in mature and frontier basin settings (e.g. Europe, Middle East, former Soviet Union, North Africa and Latin America).Publications & Metrics:Scopus - https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?origin=resultslist&authorId=37110032800&zone=ORCID - https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9982-9414Google Scholar - https://scholar.google.it/citations?user=e_vzK0QAAAAJ&hl=enResearchGate - https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Paolo-Pace
