CV

Project Leader Geophysicist

Schlumberger Digital & Integration, Abu-Dhabi, UAE

• Solved and overcoming many challenges while processing the 2D/3D Land datasets.
  • Worked on advanced processing workflows to build the shallow velocity model.
  • The presence of potential multiples generators (carbonite and dolomitic formations) exhibits the use of compulsive interbed de-multiple application such as (XIMP).
  • 5D Matching Pursuit Fourier Interpolation (MPFI) algorithm was used to reconstruct the missing data in the frequency domain
• Reprocessed 7300km of modern and historical 2D seismic data (1980s) from different vintages and achieving significant uplift in the final stacked images when compared to the original processing.
• Produced forecasts and project finance reports, interacted consistently with customers and prepare working meetings to make sure that the processing outcome truly meet the client requirements.

Geosolutions Geophysicist

Schlumberger Geosolutions, Kuwait & Saudi Arabia

• Processed seismic data from raw field records through final migrated stack (Vibroseis/Dynamite).
• Ensured all necessary testing is performed and results are presented clearly with improvement recommendations made where appropriate.
• Wrote Shell scripts to streamline data entry and automate QC tasks and data management.
• Developed and maintained strong client relationships though the communication of processing outcomes and attend meetings to discuss the processing goals.
• Implemented and taught a training class for WG Junior Geophysicists and Client trainees on Omega Geophysical data processing platform technology and methodology.

Offshore Field Geophysicist

ION GX Technology, Scotland, Offshore UK.

• Real time data flow QC and fast track processing, including denoise and seismic interferences noise attenuation, brute stack QC.
• Assisted with the deployment and recovery of in-sea gear from the vessel’s back-deck as well as on small purpose work boat. Wrote reports and provide notes at crew change.

Geophysics Instructor

SONATRACH, Algerian Petroleum Institute, Algeria

• Provided training classrooms on seismic acquisition principles for upstream oil & gas professionals.
• Prepared workshops on basics of seismic data processing using ProMAX and Seismic Unix.

Field Geophysicist / Senior Field Geophysicist

Schlumberger WesternGeco, Algeria

• Coordinated field crew start-ups tests and producing appropriate field parameters designs.
• Planned 2D/3D seismic surveys, selected appropriate parameters and send pre-plan proposal to client.
• Generated the seismic survey pre-plan and assigned the production plans to the field operations.
• Conducted Quality control and analysis of the instrument tests, S/N ratio, Auxiliary checks and vibrators data verification in accordance with client specifications and procedures.
• Performed field seismic data QC/data processing, confirmed source and receiver position and QC of shot records/field stacks to ensure about the data quality and compliance with contract specifications.
• Prepared the Uphole/Refraction survey program and supervised the drilling and logging crew team.
• Arranged the upgrade of the Geophysical computer system and maintained updates on Linux clusters and disk RAID storage.
