WORK EXPERIENCE
February 2008-July 2009: Gulf of Mexico Field Development
-Served as senior reservoir geologist for several Gulf of Mexico fields.
-constructed geologic models using Roxar RMS software
-monitored actively drilling wells and developed sampling programs
-worked with multiple partner companies on designing development drilling program
Shell Exploration and Production Company
December 2006-January 2008: Eastern Gulf of Mexico Exploration
-Matured several Eastern GoM deepwater prospects for drilling in 1Q2008 (team leader and project
geologist for prospect development)
-mapped multiple prospects on new, reprocessed 3D seismic volume; sizing and risking
-focal point for development team, interfaced with drilling engineers, reservoir engineers, PPP and
shallow hazard experts, and other relevant personnel
-responsible for bringing prospects through Shell’s 5-step Value Assurance Review process
September 2005-December 2006: Alaska Exploration

constrain remaining oil and gas potential
-Mapped regional 2D seismic for Paleocene, Eocene, Miocene horizons over entire Beaufort Sea for
integrated charge evaluation model
-Interpreted 2D seismic (prospect level) of Western Beaufort Sea; applied new play concepts that
added “Big Cat” leads (>250 mmbo Shell-Share) to company portfolio
ExxonMobil
