Summary of Experience
35 years of seismic interpretation experience, involving integrated reservoir characterization, enhanced recovery, horizontal wells, field evaluation and simulation projects, field development evaluations, development and exploration locations, prospect generations, integrated regional and special studies, and basin ( Cooper Basin, Australia, or Maracaibo Basin, Venezuela) and country analyses and evaluations.Results oriented, opportunity creation or problem driven, with a business sense. At the foundation of all our projects is the belief that there is no substitute for honesty, integrity, commitment and an unwavering focus to deliver quality service.
Detailed experience with all seismic techniques involving (land and marine) 2-D and 3-D survey design, processing quality control, and interpretation and integration.
