Houston, TX, US

As a Subject Matter Expert (SME) geophysicist in the NMA ARTS Division, I lead cross-functional geophysical projects supporting JV, Deepwater, Exploration, and NOJV assets. I deliver subsurface insights through seismic interpretation, well ties, velocity modeling, depth uncertainty analysis, RPFS, and inversion—integrating geophysical innovation with business strategy.Agbami Field: Led 3D/4D seismic interpretation and velocity modeling (M2–M3 coprocessing) to support infill drilling, with depth uncertainty quantification and well tie integration. Contributed to Subsurface Peer Reviews with high-impact technical deliverables.4D Reservoir Monitoring: Performed time-lapse amplitude and rock physics analyses (AVA, porosity sweeps, fluid substitution) to support ML-assisted inversion and simulation alignment.BU Field Support: Provided geophysical planning inputs for Awodi, Meren, Meji, Okan, Benin River, and Tapa assets—delivering calibrated TDRs, RPFS, and inversion models for development optimization.AVO Neural Network R&D: Spearheaded ANN-based AVO modeling for rapid hydrocarbon screening; currently validating in Agbami with potential for global application.
