  - G&G Lead for a greenfield post-drill development campaign. Developed post-drill 3D static model of multistacked reservoirs (EOD channel-levee complex) of a field, upon completion of 6 newly-drilled wells. Reevaluated initial understanding and assumption in FDP VS Post-Drill result. Led a multidisciplinary subsurface and surface team members in successfully obtaining management approvals in milestone reviews for project closure.- G&G Lead for the Block's greenfield development projects (EOD shallow lacustrine). Led and curate the reservoir modelling strategy of the greenfields by getting concurrence and alignment between discipline leads and experts on modelling basis, metodology, assumptions and uncertainties.- G&G lead for project sanction of 2 brownfield infill campaigns (EOD shallow lacustrine) to be drilled in 2025. Tasks involving reservoir characterisation, seismic attributes analysis, built & deliver robust 3D static model with uncertainty & sensitivity analysis, offset well studies, multiple iteration of designing well trajectories, evaluation of risks, uncertainties of well placement & well design and their impact to production.- Subsurface reevaluation for Area Development Plan (ADP)- Planned and curated corporate & work programme budget (CPB & WPB) for Subsurface department. Maintained good relationship & stakeholder management with Host Authority leaders, resulting for successful approval of WPB. Cost controller of the Subsurface department, provide monthly, quarterly and annual financial performance monitoring and analysis.- Appointed as a 'Change Agent', leading various change management and transformation programs among PCTSB staff towards achieving satisfaction in work-life balance Show less Supported the company's digital transformation agenda of enabling data-driven decision-making by leading a team of multidisciplinary, multi-talented professionals in delivering (via agile methodology) the following digital solutions:- automated visualisation of offset wells analysis from keywords extracted from various well reports, reducing a Drilling Engineer's time for data gathering from 2 months to half-a-day.- prediction of optmised well cost based on analytics of selected offset wells, enabling Drilling Engineers to reduce cost variance between actual and planned well costs.- prediction of chemical injection optimisation at oil and gas terminals, allowing Production Chemists to improve cost savings whilst maintaining crude production as per required quality and specification.- advanced analytics classification of locations with high risk concerns along a gas pipeline laid on a challenging geological surface terrains. This allows Pipeline Engineers to anticipate locations of high risks, allowing them to perform proactive inspection for preventive maintenance. Show less As Senior Reservoir Geologist / Geomodeller and Lead Geologist for a Field Development Plan (FDP) project in the Baram Delta (BDO, Sarawak basin), among Malaysia's major oil-producing fields. Constructed robust 3D static reservoir models, development design and strategy of an infill drilling campaign with the objective of increasing reserves above existing No-Further-Action (NFA) production. Carried the projects through rigorous technical assurance reviews, ensured alignment among all relevant stakeholders for the project, and successfully delivered the project's FDP to the host authority.Focal for project's Work Program & Budget (WPB), ensuring efficient and effective cost allocation for project and manpower requirements as per project schedule. Show less As Geoscience Lead for NFE activity of a certain PSC Block in the Malay Basin (Malaysia), detailed analysis was conducted for leads and prospects identification, ranking and maturation by applying sequence stratigraphic principles in well correlation, 3D seismic interpretation, seismic attribute analysis, all the way through building a viable geological model, hydrocarbon resource assessment, technical and economics risk analysis and obtained well proposal approval by the management of PETRONAS.Successful in securing ~USD25 million in drilling 2 NFE wells, upon achieving a robust development concept and positive economic model. The drilling of one of the wells successfully unlocked hydrocarbon discovery, effectively rejuvenated the value of the Block.Through​ detailed and attentive drilling operation monitoring, we were successful in optimising certain activities which led to cost savings up to ~USD1 million. Show less As Regional Geologist and Seismic Interpreter seconded to Carigali Hess Operating Company, performed detailed tectonic, structural geology and basin analysis of the North Malay Basin, which is within the Malaysia-Thailand Joint Development Area (MTJDA) boundary. Successfully produced 2D & 3D seismic interpretation and mapping of faults and horizons, sequence stratigraphy studies basin on available 3D seismic cube and 2D lines, well data, previous reports and literatures.Carigali Hess Operating Company (CHOC) is an Joint Venture operating company between PETRONAS Carigali and Hess.Appointed as Coordinator and Focal Person for a Technical Committee Meeting (TCM), a bi-annual forum for CHOC to share technical and project updates to both shareholders, prior to presenting to the Host Aunthority (Council of Malaysia Thailand Joint Agreement, MTJA). Professional and effective stakeholder relationship in ensuring the success of the TCM. Show less Wellsite Geologist for 8 offshore Exploration, Appraisal and Development wells in Malaysia (Malay, Sabah & Sarawak basins), and 2 onshore Appraisal-cum-Development wells in Iraq. Detailed analysis of cuttings sample description, drilling operation monitoring, liaising with multi-discipline and multi-function subsurface personnel. Geological advisor to client's representatives at wellsite. Successful at wellsite detection of hydrocarbon discovery in Exploration and Appraisal wells in Malaysian basins, as well as improvement in cost-savings initiatives to clients. In office, provided services as operation geologist to client / asset team during well drilling operations. Show less
