Work History
Trade Analyst/Advisor and Technical Writer
Philippine Trade and Investment Center
Washington DC, DC
2021.01 - Current
- Provides guidance and support (i.e. technical writing) to the Philippine Commercial Counselor and Defense Attache on multiple economic and trade matters, ensuring that Philippine economic policies are attuned to US investments and broader geopolitical agenda.
- Assists the Commercial Counselor submit reports that steer and help formulate policies which the Department of Trade and Industry pursues to bolster Philippines-US trade relationship.
- Developed comprehensive reports to communicate complex trade data and major foreign investment prospects to Philippine (government) stakeholders clearly and concisely.
Founding Member and Geophysical Consultant
SAFER PH Innovations Inc
Manila, Philippines
2016.01 - 2021.01
- Co-founded a Philippine-based company that equips clients with tailored tactical capabilities and meet their needs for secure communication and reconnaissance services.
- Established operational guidelines for conducting safe aerial surveys with focus on deploying cost-effective combination of platforms (i.e. UAVs) and sensors.
- Technical writing for project proposals and bidding documents
QI Geophysicist
SHELL, Upstream Americas
New Orleans, LA
2013.01 - 2015.01
- Deployed in-house 4D (Q4D) technology to differentiate residual vs commercial hydrocarbon accumulation.
- Conducted Q4D study that proved non-viability of a Ram Powell target for drilling; this work supported a divestment program leading to 2016 sale of Shell's Ram Powell acreage.
- Determined the bright amplitude anomaly in a Ram Powell prospect set for drilling, was due to production effects instead of true, commercial hydrocarbon accumulation.
- Coordinated Q4D workshop and summarized technical and business findings from all qualitative seismic 4D workflows employed in Gulf of Mexico Shell assets as of March 2015
- Performed AVO and seismic amplitude-based quantitative analysis to accurately estimate booked reserves in GOM
- Performed Monte Carlo analysis and modeling of (fluid-substituted) seismic amplitudes for Kepler (A3RA) target, which corrected the depth of lowest known oil in target field and increased reserve estimates by 1M barrels
Seismic Processing Geophysicist
SHELL, Upstream Americas
Houston, TX
2008.01 - 2013.01
- Designed and executed seismic processing workflow to prepare Pre-Stack Depth Migrated (PSDM) gathers for AVO attributes and other QI analyses (i.e., seismic inversion)
- Directed post-migration cleanup and conditioning of PSDM gathers to setup the Appomattox AVO study, confirming that the final image gathers were AVO-compliant and fit for seismic inversion
- Conducted post-migration experiment on Zaedyus PSDM data, which proved to SMEs in project partner Total, that Shell's in-house PSDM workflow yielded AVO-compliant seismic product
- Built regional anisotropic velocity models for Appomattox field and Zaedyus field (French Guiana) and taught in-house Velocity Model building course for three batches of technical hires (12+ new graduate hires)
- Conducted PSDM re-processing and building anisotropic velocity model of 2007 Appomattox seismic data, accurately capturing subtle velocity inversion overlying Norphlet formation that eventually led to 2 prospects being discovered
- Supervised PSDM re-processing and delivered improved-quality seismic volume of the French Guiana (Zaedyus) prospect; also delivered improved velocity model by utilizing superior (in-house) de-ghosting, de-signature, and demultiple workflows
- Taught velocity updating module of UA Geophysics Seismic Processing Training Program for Shell's new technical hire professionals (NTPs), mentoring new recruits in seismic preparation and residual move out (RMO) picking which are central to building anisotropic earth models
Geophysicist
SHELL, Upstream Americas
Houston, TX
2007.01 - 2008.01
- Utilized in-house technology for broadening seismic bandwidth to yield better net pay thickness estimates.
- Derived source designature filters for both Appomattox 2007 and French Guiana (Zaedyus) 2010 PSDM re-processing and conducted spectrum broadening that resulted in superior bandwidth over the original vendor data
- Deployed Shell in-house technology for spectrum broadening, aiding asset team in estimating pay zone (thickness) in Macaroni GB602 #3 well
- Seismic acquisition modeling using in-house technologies
- Employed wave-equation modeling to evaluate seismic acquisition options for Great White field and modeling narrow vs. wide-azimuth seismic acquisitions for Sivulliq field (Alaska)
- Conducted wave-equation modeling of streamer versus ocean bottom nodes (OBN) surveys to compare technical merits and cost-effectiveness of acquiring 4D seismic data for development at Great White Field
