Work history
Geophysicist
Saudi Aramco
Dhahran, Saudi Arabia
2021.02 - Current
- Provided technical expertise during drilling operations, in particular geo-steering which involved real-time guidance for directional drillers using real-time well-bore data.
- Evaluated hydrocarbon deposits using seismological methods supported by well-bore data while applying established geological frameworks. This involved performing quantitative and qualitative tasks to assure a low-risk understanding of the subsurface.
- Modeled hydrocarbon reservoirs through geostatistical/stochastic means with multiple scenarios for a low-risk placement of wells in high-pay targets.
- Modeled the near-surface through seismic data utilizing inverse-based methods such as refraction tomography and waveform-travel-time-inversion which relied on ray-tracing and finite-difference modeling of the seismic waveform.
- Processed land seismic data with a full processing sequence from field tapes to a seismic image while working closely with interpreters.
- Guided junior team members in learning geophysical data processing techniques.
- Provided geophysical software solutions which involved scripting in C++/Python with run-time optimization in mind.
- Participated in project management digitization which involved web-development and heavy scripting in Javascript while meeting fast-changing requirements.
