My expertise is in petrophysics and geomechanics, and I have proficiency in log-based petrophysical analysis, in laboratory measurements, and broadly in geomechanics, both in conventional and unconventional reservoirs.
A key highlight of my research is the development of a model to predict pore pressure in the Permian Basin. In this work I have combined petrophysical analysis of log and core data, geological analysis of the uplift of the Permian Basin, and a geomechanical model that describes the petrophysical response of unloaded rocks. I published this work in the Journal of Marine and Petroleum Geology last year in 2023.
