Petroleum systems expert and prospect generator: Geologic mapping, 2D/3D seismic interpretation, well-log correlation, well-to-seismic ties, basin modeling, geochemical data, migration and seal analysis, play/prospect assessment, commercial economics in N. America, Africa, Mid-East, Europe, and Arctic. Primary responsibility for characterizing charge risk by interpreting source distribution quality, creating basin models for maturation and pressure history, conducting migration analysis to illustrate charge pathways and timing, and auditing against reservoired oils, well cuttings, log analysis, seep geochemistry, and satellite images. First in company to incorporate halotectonic history into 3D basin models for entire Gulf of Mexico. Developed atlas of geopressure models in Western Gulf of Mexico to predict regional pressure trends at depth in poorly-imaged geophysical data.

Taught lab courses in Physical Geology, Sedimentology and Stratigraphy, Carbonate Sedimentology, Sandstone Petrology, and Organic Geochemistry.Standard wet chemistry bench functions, maintained daily safe operations in lab, ensured adequate inventory, waste management, and sterility of all equipment and consumables, such as organic solvents, carrier gases, glassware, gas-chromatography mass-spectrometers, accelerated solvent extraction machinery, and other consumables; maintained sample inventories, storage, and custody logs; developed sample preparation and analysis methods; calibrated, maintained, and diagnosed problems with equipment; prepared and tested calibrants and standards; worked with diverse scientists from Microbiology, Chemistry, Geoscience, and Physical Geography Departments to develop methods and perform sample preparation and analyses for research.

Costa Mesa, California, United States

Under supervision of project geologists, responsible for job-site mapping, sampling, laboratory testing, analysis and interpretation, and composing technical reports. Collected soil and groundwater samples, conducted laboratory tests, produced geologic maps and cross-sections of surface and sub-surface conditions, supervised installation of monitoring wells and percolation tests, logged 24” and 36” boreholes, logged open-pit and fault trenches, safely managed excavation and labor crews according to safety regulations, analyzed technical data, recommended remediation steps, authored reports and proposals for work, managed budget and schedule independently and with project management.
