Summary

Bright and research-oriented Geologist with 15 years experience, focused on gathering information and analyzing data. Presently working with Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PPL) with excellent exposure in exploration and exploitation of commercial HC in compressional, extensional and transpressional / transtentional regimes. Different challenges of well Operations & exploration provided me opportunity to get skilled with petroleum system modeling, sequence stratigraphy, play fairway mapping, reservoir characterization, petrophysics, volumetric estimations, and good understanding of 2D/3D seismic interpretation, seismic attributes, and economics. Currently, major responsibilities are to provide an integrated interpretation of G&G data sets for company’s designated local portfolio and work as team player responsible for companies exploration portfolio optimization.
