• Designed and supervised 2D/3D seismic acquisition programs; ensured quality control
during onboard, PSTM, and PSDM processing.
• Interpreted large-scale seismic datasets to produce subsurface maps, fault/fracture
models, and velocity models for offshore and onshore basins.
• Led AI Exploration ARFXLAB, developing deep learning architectures for fault detection
and reservoir characterization, improving detection accuracy and reducing interpretation
time.
• Generated prospects leading to successful hydrocarbon discoveries by integrating seismic,
wireline, and geological data into structural and stratigraphic models.
• Delivered real-time geophysical support during drilling operations to mitigate risk and
optimize well placement.
• Conducted geohazard evaluations and risk assessments for exploration and development.
• Collaborated with international partners (ExxonMobil, Shell, Chevron, Equinor, BP) on
technical evaluations and data room sessions.
• Provided training in seismic interpretation and reservoir modeling software (Petrel,
Geoteric, DSG, OpenDtect, Paradigm).
• Led design and interpretation of multiple offshore Mediterranean surveys, resulting in
identification of new drilling targets.
• Applied AI-based seismic attribute extraction to cut interpretation time by 40% while
improving accuracy.
