About William Weibel

Geophysicist, Geologist, Geoscientist Connect with me using: W••••••@yahoo.com All Invitations to Connect Welcome Proven oil finder, awarded geophysicist and geologist with more than a dozen commercial oil and gas discoveries over 34 years of new ventures, exploration and development roles. Successful finding over 10 billion dollars worth of oil and gas in prospects in Gulf Coast onshore / offshore and international areas including deepwater, leveraging strong geological background into seismic interpretations for field development characterizations and / or prospect generation. Exceptional skills in seismic interpretation, synthetic well-ties, depth conversion and subsurface mapping including reserve calculations using Petrel, SMT and Landmark programs. Superior seismic inversion skills using Jason applications to create acoustic impedance and other seismic attributes. Strong expertise in AVO analysis using migrated gathers as input and PreStack Pro or Jason applications. Extensive experience in single or multi-layer depth conversion and in seismic and well data I/O. Highly knowledgeable about structural styles, sedimentology, sequence stratigraphy, risk analysis, log correlation and petroleum systems. Very strong presentation abilities. Highly dedicated, hard worker. Team player who works well as a coach / mentor, leader, or team member. Specialties: Seismic interpretation, development geophysics, seismic inversion, seismic attribute generation and analysis, depth conversion, AVO. To brainstorm and collaborate on any of these perspectives, call me at (71••••••76.

Experience

1. Geophysicist, Geologist

   Consultant

   Sep 2015 — Present · Houston, TX, US

   Geophysicist / ConsultantAchieved superior prospect evaluation to help de-risk wildcat-drilling targets on an offshore Nigeria block working at a client site for Sharp Reflections. Succeeded in mapping AVO anomalies which suggested reservoired oil using intercept-gradient cross-plots extracted from interpreted AVO horizons to determine optimal Chi angle for each prospect and created Chi-angle volumes on Class 2 / 2P reflections. Leveraged ability to use poststack-conditioned 3D-seismic PSTM migrated gathers in Sharp Reflections’ PrestackPro application and high-end hardware.
