About Othman Elhelou

As an Operations Geologist with 17 years of experience, I specialize in optimizing horizontal drilling programs and integrating subsurface geology across the full well lifecycle from initial planning and permitting through execution, geosteering, and post-well performance analysis. My background covers both operations and development, enabling me to align field execution with asset strategy while driving continuous improvement.I provide risk assessments, subsurface hazard mitigation, anti-collision planning, and structural mapping, along with real-time data acquisition and QC. I’m trusted to lead geosteering workflows, incorporate new technologies, and collaborate with land, drilling, completion, reservoir, and asset teams to deliver safe, efficient, and strategically aligned operations.
