Petroleum geologist at the intersection of geoscience and technology, leading projects from first concept to drilling decision.
15+ years across CGG, Fugro and the ExxonMobil–Rosneft Arctic JV programme, integrating seismic, well, potential-field, core and field data into decisions that hold up.

Tundra, ice and remote outcrops are hard for a geologist to reach. Drones now bring them into the model.

Data Baseline
We align seismic, wells, legacy interpretations and new surveys into a single, versioned baseline. Conflicts are logged, scored by reliability, and resolved with a traceable assumptions trail. Built for comparability - not presentation. Output: a versioned data baseline and an assumptions register.

Structural Model
We build the fault framework, stratigraphic architecture and closures using cross-validated evidence. Alternatives run as explicit scenarios; compartments are tested against data reliability. Uncertainty is mapped and carried forward. Output: a structural model with explicit scenarios and an uncertainty map.

Decision Package
Delivered as committee-ready decision packages: • Go / Conditional Go / Redesign / Stop • Risk-constrained drillable zones • Uncertainty map + assumptions register • Executive brief Decisions are auditable - not opinion-based.

Integration is the discipline of making assumptions explicit and decisions defensible.
