SENIOR PETROPHYSICIST

Profile

Looking for a suitable opportunity in petrophysics. Broad experience in formation evaluation through Petrophysics; providing data room support; knowledge in evaluating silici-clastic and carbonate reservoirs. Proficient in formation pressure analysis; petrophysical rock-typing; capillary pressure data modeling for saturation height functions; evaluating heterogeneity and petrophysical uncertainty. Experience in preparing prospects for peer and management reviews and getting them through decision gates, as a part of Subsurface team. Significant experience in the formation evaluation of exploration wells and field wide petrophysical studies. Several years of experience developing algorithms for NMR-echo data processing and interpretation applications in light to heavy oil reservoirs. Worked on deep water GoM (Miocene and Wilcox plays) and Canada offshore (Flemish Pass & Jean d'Arc), Bombay High, Java Sea, Sumatra and Malacca straits. I have hands on experience on Geolog, Techlog and Openworks (Petroworks). I also have expertise in MatLab and Fortran.
