Current Activities 1996-2007 CWSX, LLC. a Texas Limited Liability Corporation Comprehensive Consulting, S.A., a Costa Rican corporation CWS Comprehensive Workstation Services, Houston TX Global consulting service established in 1996 serving small companies that need technological expertise to handle computerized exploration projects. We can provide complete project management, including system administration and database management, geological and geophysical exploration software and UNIX workstation applications. Expertise in Landmark OpenWorks data loading software and seismic data loading techniques, utilizing both command line and ProMax user interfaces. Intermediate data processing steps, attribute volumes, scaling and sampling. Consultant is available for international travel on short-term (3 to 6 month) contract interpretation services that begin with computerized structural mapping and modeling of 3D and 2D seismic datasets. Synthetic seismic responses can be generated from lithologic and petrophysical well log data and core data, then tied to seismic responses, identifying sequence stratigraphic boundaries, seismic attribute analysis, anomalous seismic response analysis, hydrocarbon indicators, and variable time-depth relationships. Once the geological and geophysical databases are tied together, petrophysical characteristics and lithologic boundaries can be inferred from sequence stratigraphy and AVO studies of 3D seismic datasets. Exploration opportunities can be mapped, modeled, and identified as drilling prospects. Integrated interpretation of horizon structure, detailed fault plane analysis, and seismic attribute characteristics can reduce risk by providing a greater understanding of the structural and stratigraphic nature of hydrocarbon traps. Previous Experience EDGE PETROLEUM CORPORATION (1995 to 1996) Exploration Geoscientist Generated drilling prospects in the Frio-Vicksburg Trend of South Texas. Compared and integrated 3D seismic and AVO data attributes with petrophysical modeling of hydrocarbon filled river channels in order to more fully understand and develop the producing potential of Frio fluvial systems. The first five wells in the program were completed successfully. 20 other river channel sands were recommended as exploration opportunities, with a possible 30 drilling locations identified. Built and maintained a well database of over 4,000 wells using OpenWorks, ORACLE and GeoDataWorks software. Included Tobin location and PI production data, normalized, edited and normalized pseudo well log curves, porosity and permeability, lithology and rock property data from core information. Used the latest 3D modeling and visualization technology, EarthCube, 3DVI SeisCube, SurfCube and VoxCube software. Irix and Solaris system administration of multi-client, multi-server network. Generated synthetic seismograms and lithologic models using SynTool. Constructed geologic correlations and cross sections using StratWorks. Conducted petrophysical studies and modeling using PetroWorks and GMA. Processed seismic data for continuity (coherence) and attribute extraction using PostStack/PAL (Advance). HOUSTON ENERGY AND DEVELOPMENT LOUISIANA OFFSHORE VENTURES (1994 to 1995) Exploration Geophysicist Generated drilling prospects in the U.S. Gulf Coast and the Upper Gulf of Mexico using the latest Geoquest workstation IESX software. Structural and stratigraphic interpretation of regional 2D and 3D seismic datasets integrated with well log and bio-stratigraphic studies paleo data in order to more specifically tie into the hydrocarbon producing trends in the Gulf Coast Basin. Presented and sold prospect ideas and interpretations to technical and non-technical partners. Educated other geoscientists in advanced workstation interpretation techniques. UNIX system administration, multi-client, multi-server SunOS network, database management, file system management, software upgrades, data loading. NEOMAR RESOURCES, INC. (1987 to 1994) Exploration Geoscientist Generated prospects through evaluation of state and federal waters, offshore Louisiana, 2D and 3D seismic datasets, both spec and proprietary. Areas worked: West Cameron, East Cameron, Eugene Island, Ship Shoal, South Pelto, South Timbalier, Bay Marchand, Grand Isle, South Pass. Integrated seismic data with well log correlations and paleo/biostratigraphic data in order to tie into regional hydrocarbon producing trends. Sold prospect ideas to oil and gas industry partners. Planned, contracted and supervised acquisition and processing of company's first proprietary 3D survey. Generated 30 prospects, 15 of which have been drilled to date. 11 commercial completions have resulted in 20 Million BOE newly discovered reserves. Personally generated prospects have approximately 90% hydrocarbon success ratio. Researched and recommended company's purchase of a SunOS workstation (1989) with Landmark Graphics Corp. geological and geophysical applications software. Sole user and operator (seismic interpretation and evaluation, seismic and well data loading, system administration). Software proficiency: SeisWorks 3D and 2D (interpretation), 3DVI (visualization), Mira (synthetic seismogram generation), OpenWorks (well data and curve loading), BCM (seismic data loading 3D and 2D), UNIX and SunOS. Contracted with other small independent oil and gas companies unschooled in the use of Landmark workstations for my expertise in data loading and interpretation. Trained geoscientists in workstation interpretation techniques as well as system administration and UNIX applications. Established a dynamic cooperative relationship with Landmark Graphics, a leading UNIX workstation applications developer. Presented and taught the use of advanced seismic interpretation techniques for the benefit of other Landmark workstation users. Recognized by Landmark as a leader in the use of workstation technology.
