  • 2010 - 2013

  Hired for expertise in Onshore Seismic Processing. Led seismic processing initiatives in various projects and locations, including China, Colombia, Colorado, Equatorial Guinea, Kurdistan, Indonesia, Iraq, Madagascar, and Nigeria. Selected Accomplishments: *Team Leadership; Supervised team of four on real-time seismic acquisition-processing projects in Kurdistan, Iraq to examine and fully process data from the field while ensuring fast turnaround times to ensure business impact. Coordinated with Seismic Acquisition and Operations Team as part of the Seismic Processing Core Group. *Simultaneous Seismic Acquisition and Processing: Developed and executed base 2D workflow to accommodate rapid well planning and execution in Kurdistan, Iraq. Collaborated across company functions to plan, implement and execute project. *Production: Collaborated with seismic processing and quantitative interpretations to reevaluate full 3D Marine Seismic survey in Equatorial Guinea to meet 4-day short-rig deadline, resulting in cancellation of deepwater NFW. *Project Management: Led contract and procurement process on first 3D Land seismic survey acquired in West Qurna, Iraq, the second biggest oil field in the world, and Saddam-era minefield. Partnered with seismic acquisition team to conduct planning and execution. Oversaw acquisition and contractor processing, using breakthrough techniques for seismic statics and multiple attenuations. *2D Thrustbelt Seismic Processing: Successfully reprocessed highly complex 2D onshore seismic surveys across Papua New Guinea thrustbelt. Resolved subsurface structures and drilling targets where prior vendors had failed and delivered seismic surveys to business unit culminating in successful exploration drilling campaign. *Contractor QA/QC: Led successful technology exchanges, seismic processing contracts and collaboration projects with various oil service companies, such as WesternGeco, Geomage, TBI, GeoTomo, BGP, TEEC and CGG.
