Performed Led Locate and Target Remaining Oil (LTRO) for 2 major offshore fields. Geology lead for data analysis phase, reserves, and WRFM of 1 major offshore field. Focal point for various studies. • Managed Locate and Target Remaining Oil for 2 major offshore fields, including budget, training, and workshops provided by LTRO ltd. Guided 2 teams through LTRO exercise, creating surveillance maps by integrating all available well, log, and reservoir data demonstrating infill programs adding 4% recovery each, closing the recovery gap to top quartile. • G&G lead for WRFM representing both geology and geophysics, ensuring optimum production, which saw a 15% increase for 2019. • Provided geological expertise to engineering team, combining both geological and production data with technology, determining the gas breakthrough in 2 wells would not benefit from Autonomous Inflow Control Devices, thus avoiding $5MM spend. • Managed data analysis phase by leading cross-functional teams and integrating bio / chemostratigraphic, geological, geochemistry, and production data (novel approach) providing new stratigraphic and plumbing insights. • Organized and authored 2 Project Premises Documents, showcasing subsurface, subsea, and surface options from LTRO exercise including economic evaluations, presented and used by senior management. • G&G lead for well maturation, planned horizontal, multilateral, and sidetrack wells with subsurface, subsea, and surface teams, including extended reach. • Reviewed and challenged current models and field development leading to drill target optimization. • Track record of resource volume estimation, creating 3D models, maps, well and cross-sections, with positive outcome for Company and presenting to proper authorities. • Worked on multi-stacked, highly faulted/fractured offshore reservoirs. • Achieved approved Field Development Plan. • Delivered infill program. • Successfully mentored and coached junior and senior staff from various disciplines.

Served as regional focal point for 3D static modelling workflows and tools. Liaison for internal and external partners. Technical Committee for Unitization. Instructor for training courses. G&G focal point. Coach.• Authored geophysical and geological sections of unitization agreement, defended to partners and government, persuading implementing an innovative neural network method for facies modelling, resulting in less investment for company upfront but maximum future reserve.• Delivered 4 well proposals and directed team, ensuring consistency and inclusion of Process Safety Requirements in all 23 well proposals, including conventional, sidetrack, and extended reach wells.• Reduced contingency costs in 7 wells and proposed redundancy of 2 wells, saving project over $300M.• Interpreted faults and horizons on 3D seismic and constructed both full-field and reservoir structural 3D models.• Created 3D property models for offshore deep-water reservoirs integrating, among others, 3D / 4D seismic, core, well log, depositional environments, geomechanics, and outcrop/analog data.• Provided a 2-day workshop training to 30 Petrophysicists in Petrel, instructing on geologist use of modelling data and outcome/benefits to the group.• Lead for experimental design, delivering reserves estimation with highest positive outcome for company.• Successfully mentored and coached junior and senior staff from various disciplines.• Worked on heavy oil (19°API and 11cP) and multi-stacked, highly faulted/fractured offshore reservoirs.• Reviewed exploration prospects.• Co-author on 3 accepted articles for SPE and NAICE.

Seismic interpreter and static modeler for 4 reservoirs. Geologist for proved reserves. G&G focal point. Well report focal point. IT focal point. Coach. • Achieved Field Development Plan by implementing an innovative neural network method for facies modelling, ensuring consistency of range of property models against seismic and reducing turn-around time by 50%. • Interpreted faults and horizons on 3D seismic and constructed both full-field and reservoir structural 3D models. • Created 3D property models for offshore deep-water reservoirs integrating, among others, 3D / 4D seismic, core, well log, depositional environments, geomechanics, and outcrop/analog data. • Interpreted and modelled IFO for major offshore field included in approved FDP. • Wrote infill drilling proposal for shared oil field investment and spared money by proposing reduction of one well with same oil recovery, compared to original proposal by operator. • Completed reserves booking with highest positive outcome for company from auditors, utilizing existing data from a map approach rather than 3D modeling. • Updated 3D static models with production history data, reservoir pressure data, and 4D seismic, suggesting infill drilling locations used for the next infill drilling campaign. • Reviewed “Definition of Subsurface Uncertainty for the Handbook for Integrated Reservoir Modelling of Clastic Reservoirs”, used as control document for assessing uncertainty during reservoir modelling. • Demonstrated success presenting geomodelling and geological studies to team, (senior) management, external partners (e.g., ExxonMobil, Total, Chevron, Agip, Lukoil), and government (Nigeria, ensuring gates were met on schedule. • Monitoring well operations and reporting to team and (senior) management. • Successfully mentored and coached junior and senior staff from various disciplines. • Worked on heavy oil (19°API and 11cP) and multi-stacked, highly faulted/fractured offshore reservoirs.
