Work Experience(s)
Reservoir Geophysicist | Quantitative Interpretation (QI) Specialist
Drove quantitative seismic interpretation (AVO/AVA, pre-stack inversion, depositional modeling) and rock physics calibration to support prospect maturation and drilling decisions. Contributed to prospect risking and COS assessment, with inversion-driven anomalies progressing to drilling and production, informing appraisal and re-entry strategy. Refined amplitude-based risking through post-drill recalibration, improving discrimination between fluid response, tuning, brine influence and data-quality artifacts. Supported technical re-entry evaluations by producing structured risk assessments and quantitative reinterpretation that guided management decisions.
