Spearheading the regional exploration efforts to identify viable geothermal resources in sedimentary basins. • Developed efficient workflows to evaluate any style of sedimentary basin to identify geothermal sweet-spots, by integrating temperature, thermal conductivity, heat capacity, heat flow, structural, stratigraphic, sedimentologic, geophysical, geochemistry, and well log data in combination with basin modeling techniques. • Utilized basin modeling output to estimate porous media properties, thermal parameters, and boundary conditions for reservoir-scale geothermal flow simulations. • Built a comprehensive temperature dataset (approx. 1million records) based on numerous publicly available databases containing US well information.• Reservoir scale thermal flow modeling to evaluate the effect of rock properties (sedimentary structures, fractures, …) and well designs (diameter, spacing, production/injection rate, …) on the geothermal hydraulic system (pressure, temperature, longevity, …).

Technical discipline lead of a Corporate Data Management Project, designed to enhance database and user efficiency, by implementing an accessible data management solution, that provides reliable high-quality data, allows for efficient workflows, optimizes for interpretation, and enables modern data analytics tools. • Developed an up-to-date parameter model, that streamlines the data model for the new data repository from approximately 100 data tables to less than 30 tables.• Planned, executed, and participated in the project pilot by working with the vendor during the custom parameter mapping task, guaranteeing accuracy and reducing time for implementation by about 50%. • Ensured high quality of the new data store through detailed QA/QC, by identifying and eliminating critical errors that occurred during the automated data migration from the vintage database. • Reduced a user’s data compilation time by up to 75%, by enabling easy global access to all data for all employees. Optimized the designs for the new web-browser user interface, which provides an intuitive user experience, replacing an outdated specialist-only inhouse system.• Collaborated with business units across the company to identify a data management system that is inclusive, considers the needs of all potential users, and can be expanded to other disciplines. • Primary contact for discipline technical discussions with all external partners, establishing a productive work environment, and resulting in a 100% positive collaborative experience.

Built and maintained comprehensive, fully integrated modeling studies, utilized for conventional and unconventional exploration, appraisal, as well as divestment projects, at basin, prospect, and reservoir scale. Applied stratigraphic, structural, thermal, geochemical, geophysics, log, fluid flow, PVT, and mud gas analysis techniques. • Created the Mega-Regional Petroleum Systems Model of the entire North Slope Alaska, which supports expedited detailed review of new leads and prospects for the conventional Brookian topsets. Reduced the evaluation time by ~25%. • Built numerous basin models in complex tectonic settings to support key unconventional exploration efforts. Predicted temperature and maturity with high accuracy (0.05%Ro) and contributed to fluid quality prediction (oil vs. gas) based on source rock specific custom kinetics. Project areas include the San Joaquin, Powder River, Bighorn, San Juan, Anadarko, Arkoma, Greater Green River, and Denver Basins. • Provided petroleum system modeling support for international exploration and divestment projects. The company’s Senegal blocks were divested for 430 Million dollars. Additional international projects include Angola, Western Greenland, and Austral/Magallanes Basins. • Conducted offshore Gulf of Mexico basin modeling for seismic re-imaging of subsalt structures.

Performed detailed research on petroleum geochemistry for unconventional exploration and production in the Eagle Ford and Woodford plays:• Designed and executed sampling programs for geochemical characterization of source rocks, produced fluids, and the optimization of oil/gas production.

Geochemistry support for EOG’s conventional and unconventional North American exploration programs. Compiled integrated sets of geochemistry (rock, oil, gas), geophysics (gravity, magnetics), geothermal (temperature, heat flow), structure/tectonics, and stratigraphic data; and provided subject matter expert interpretations: • Developed a comprehensive workflow in ArcMap to spatially evaluate unconventional plays by integrating the various geoscience disciplines. Time savings of about 50% were achieved by enabling efficient evaluation and comparison of different basins, their source rocks and hydrocarbon potential. • Contributed to the successful identification of “sweet-spots” and production intervals for EOG’s drilling campaigns in the Williston, Powder River, and Denver Basins. • Additional basins evaluated: Alberta, Williston, Powder River, Big Horn, Wind River, Denver, Anadarko, Michigan, Northwestern Appalachian, Permian, Western Gulf, East Texas.

Responsible for the inhouse Petroleum Systems Modeling exploration projects:• Basin Modeler and key contributor to the Fort Berthold Reservation, Williston Basin exploration project, earning the company a fixed % of the production revenue. • Built the 3D Basin model and an interactive ArcMap project for New York State, which includes cultural, map, cross-section, well, and geochemical data, to support shale play exploration and acreage leasing efforts (Bakken, Utica/Marcellus).
