Seminar

​EXPERTISE
Accomplished Geologist with wide-ranging expertise in Reservoir Development and Exploration practices for sandstone and carbonate reservoirs. Courses and Consultancy topics include:

1. Correlation Principles Reservoir Flow Units supported by Lorenz porosity and permeability data and interpretation.
2. Rock Type characterization from hand specimens, thin sections, scanning electron microscopy, and mercury injection capillary pressure. Explanation and interpretation of the tools.
3. Geochemical fingerprinting of produced oils for understanding reservoir connectivity and compartmentalization. Clarifies and differentiates productive intervals in each well.
4. Differentiation of Dolomite vs. Limestone reservoirs, keys to porosity development and economical accumulations for production.
5. Source rock migration for reservoir filling and guidelines for exploration process from risk assessment, pool sizes, lease sale for properties, and exploration drilling.
6. Basic geologic understanding of differing rocks and the role they play in commercial and non-commercial applications.
7. Case histories of producing fields around the world, US Gulf of Mexico, Alaska, North Sea, Trinidad, and Caspian Basin of Azerbaijan.
8. Asset depletion planning and implementation of full cycle reservoir development. Teaching and mentoring of multi-disciplinary subsurface staff members, with emphasis on cultural attention and direction.
