Visiting Researcher at Royal Holloway, University of London

About

My experience so far has covered a wide spectrum of the Applied Geology scheme in both academia and oil industry, with major interests in disciplines of sedimentology and stratigraphy, petroleum geology, numerical modeling and etc. Key skills include: · Core logging, thin section observation and description, facies analysis, and their application in sedimentology and depositional environment studies of both carbonate and siliciclastic rocks · Studying the structural, sedimentary and diagenetic features of hydrocarbon reservoirs, using integrated subsurface datasets of seismic data, core samples and experiments results, thin sections, wire logs, and etc. · Reservoir characterization in the aspects of petrophysical features such as porosity, permeability, oil saturation, oil-water relationship, and distribution of barriers/baffles, using both geological data and production surveillance data · Geological modeling of reservoirs, including data preparation and data quality check, structural modeling, facies modeling, petrophysical modeling, and reserve calculation · Location and trajectory design of new wells, preparation of well completion programme in particular the proposal of perforation intervals · Use of professional software including Petrel, Techlog, Landmark, Spotfire, Matlab, etc. · Mineral, element and geochemical analysis of rock samples based on stable isotope, XRF and XRD measurements · Field outcrop measuring and sampling of both siliciclastic and carbonate rocks, sediment provenance study
