Summary
I worked for ExxonMobil Production Company in Houston Texas and Mobil Producing Nigeria in Lagos after receiving MSc degree in Physics from the University of Jos and BSc in Physics from University of Calabar. I have 26 years of experience in the oil and gas industry and specialised in Petrophysics with focused training while at ExxonMobil Exploration, Development and Production Companies. My skills and expertise are in the field of Formation Evaluation integrating wireline and logging while drilling log data, core analysis, reservoir management including development and implementation of specialised petrophysical data processing and interpretation techniques using different softwares e.g Petroworks, Geoframe and Geolog.
I have built strong working relationships and coordination skills from planning well logging programmes and data acquisition to the delivery of final processing and interpretation results on ExxonMobil Erha NP2 programme and surveillance leading to increased hydrocarbon pay.
I have additional expertise in field studies where I coordinated and effectively provided FE support to field studies and field development programmes to A-Z Seismic Consultant Ltd: Amaniba (1 well), Ewo (1well), Hely Creek (2 wells), Otakikpo (5 wells); Virtual Petrophysics - Global: Australia-Vermillion (4 wells), Melbana (5 wells) and AC/P70 (3 wells); ExxonMobil-Nigeria: Ubit (300 wells), Enang (100 wells), Utue (21 wells), Idoho (16 wells), Usan (47wells); ExxonMobil - Texas, USA: South Texas (156 wells), Inland Louisiana ( 126 wells).
He is a member of the SPWLA, NAPE , NIP and is based in Nigeria.
