EXPERTISE • Land, TZ and deep marine seismic proc. • PSTM, AVO attributes • Near surface/ static solutions • Interpretation • Signal processing, imaging, true amplitude • Seismic inversion & attribute processing

I am a geophysicist with over 30 years of broad range of experience in oil and gas exploration. In addition to an MSc degree in Geophysics, I have built my career with several in-house courses in the industry. As you can see from my CV, I worked almost every aspect of exploration, such as seismic data planning, acquisition, seismic data processing, interpretation and AVO and post stack inversion. At the moment, I am working as a senior geophysicist at Kelman Technologies London office. We provide seismic data processing and reservoir studies for oil operators. Due to long commuting time, I am looking for another opportunity local or International. I have many years international experience in seismic field.

Having worked for reputable international seismic contractors and processed seismic data from all over the world for many years, I am now seeking an opportunity to use my knowledge, energy and enthusiasm to fulfill my ambition and contribute to achieve success of your company. I am a highly motivated individual with a strong technical background, good communication skills and experience in delivering my work on time and according to expectations.
I am confident that I can make a great contribution to your geophysical team.
I have a current offshore BOISET certificate.
