About Suman Das

I am Geoscientist with 19 years of experience of working in oil and gas company, currently working as Explorationist in Schlumberger, based in Houston. My current focus is subsalt prospectivity in US Gulf of Mexico with WesternGeco proprietary seismic data. Overall, I have experience in different domains ranging from the domain of Geology to Geophysics; E&P company to Leading International service provider; Clastic to carbonate environment; from regional to prospect level and from land to ultra deep environment. Overall I have 15 (Fifteen) years of experience in relevant field including 15 (Fifteen) years of experience in Oil Industry (both client company and service provider) and 4 (Four) years of doctorate study. I have experience in working in different software platform like Petrel, Landmark, Voxel Geo. I am a capable team player with good interpersonal and collaborative skills. I have the ability to adjust new environment and make myself ready to perform for my organization. Strong work ethics is my strength for any organization am associated with.Specialties:• 2D and 3D seismic interpretation in both regional and prospect level• Supra and Sub salt seismic interpretation• Basin geology review• Well correlation• Fault seal analysis• Seismic well tie• Velocity modelling and depth conversion• Attribute analysis and DHI identification• Incorporating pressure data from Reservoir engineer to explain compartmentalization• Prospect identification• Risking and ranking of prospects• Volumetric calculation• Technical input for acquiring new blocks• working level knowledge in rock physics, AVO modelling, Seismic inversion.
