Work Experience
Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, The Woodlands, Texas
Geophysicist – Summer Intern May 2010-Aug 2010
- Mapped six seismic horizons at two locations using 120 square miles 3D seismic dataset
- Extracted surface and volume attributes using the horizon mapped and the 3D seismic dataset
- Correlated Most Positive Curvature attribute to subsurface fracture orientation and production
- Inferred fractured zones by rock mechanics study using data from 10 wells
- Applied the results from above to identify and recommend optimum zones for better well location
- Proposed a new drilling direction based on the interpreted fracture orientation
- Gave a 45-minute presentation of the result to the Technology Group and invited guests
BP America, Houston Texas
Geologist – Summer Intern May 2009 - August 2009
- Mapped four seismic horizons in swath between two fields (9 miles apart)
- Constructed 2D structural restorations to the palaeostructure for a number of time steps
- Revised previous timeline for trap formation and hydrocarbon generation
- Applied the result from above to explain the contrasting well results in both fields
- Made recommendations as to the prospectivity of untested areas in both fields
- Gave a 45-minute presentation of the result to the business unit and invited guests
Projects :
AAPG Imperial Barrel Competition January 2009 - May 2009
Evaluation of the Hydrocarbon Potential of South-western Barents Sea
- Evaluated the petroleum systems of the identified Palaeozoic Carbonate and Triassic Sandstone plays
- Identified three prospects (one recommended for drilling) and three leads based on 191 2D seismic lines and 10 well data
- Determined the STOOIP/OGIP and commercial chance of success (Pc) for each prospects
- Recognized hydrocarbon loss due to regional uplift as the main risk in South-western Barents Sea
- Final results delivered in a 25-minute presentation to an independent panel of five senior oil industry executives at 2009 AAPG Annual Conference
