I am a geophysicist with 19 years of international and domestic experience across the Gulf of Mexico, Brazil, Angola and China in exploration/appraisal and field development roles with major and large independent oil companies. My technical and leadership roles cover the subsurface interpretation and integration of geophysical and geological data using Petrel and Landmark for regional to prospect scale generation and maturation, well planning/operations, resource evaluations, risk and uncertainty analysis, play fairway analysis, and regional studies in multiple depositional environments and tectonic systems. I have collaborated on multidisciplinary teams whose work has resulted in four successful development wells and six oil discoveries/appraisals in Angola, Brazil, and the Gulf of Mexico. I am an expert seismic interpreter, prospect generator and hydrocarbon finder, highly capable of leading, managing, and working as a team member or independently.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

BP America Inc. May 2011 – June 2016 Gulf of Mexico Deepwater Exploration - Western (Mar ’15 – June ‘16)

- Sr. Geophysicist within a multidisciplinary team responsible for generating play fairway analyses in the Western GOM and identifying a prospect inventory for lease sale and farm-in opportunities.

- Highlights include successful recommendation to divest BP’s equity in Conoco’s Melmar prospect for $25M and to participate in Shell’s AC772 Whale prospect as a near-field exploration tieback to Great White. Decisions were supported by resource volumetric determination and risk and uncertainty assessment using BP best practices.

and generating quality prospects through basin/play fairway analysis in the GoM. Responsible for developing people through coaching, mentoring, and performance management cycle.

- Delivered GOM Integrated Regional Paleogene (Wilcox) study across 6 protraction areas to explain and predict reservoir and fluid quality on a regional and prospect scale to underpin BP’s strategy for the Paleogene play trend, ranking of prospect inventory and acquisition of PGS & CGG’s Full Azimuth data library:

- Produced surgical maps of basin floor fan and slope channel systems across the Paleogene plays using 3D WAZ and FAZ seismic and prestack inversion to generate a set of 5 Paleocene and 3 Eocene GDE maps with syn-kinematic structural elements.

- Generated Petroleum Systems Modeling across AOI (2D Trinity and TemisFlow 3D) which was subsequently used by BP’s Mad Dog team.

- Generated Regional quantitative predictive maps to explain and predict reservoir and fluid quality on a regional/prospect scale: STS, Net Sand, Net Pay, Permeability, Viscosity, GOR, kh/µ, production flow rate, and CCRS maps.
