Supported the frontier exploration by applying geophysics- and rock physics-based reservoir characterization:
- Designed Geolog6 database
- Identify basin-scale lithological and fluid trends through IP/PR cross-plotting with Sismage-CIG
- Conducted 1D rock physics modelling as part of AVO studies
- Performed DHI analysis through IP/PR cross-plotting
- Evaluated pseudo-seismic properties (VCL, PHIT)
Geoscience Intern

Led an integrated subsurface evaluation of a prospect within the South Caspian Basin's Productive Series.
- Executed petrophysical formation evaluation in Techlog.
- Interpreted seismic data in Petrel for the Lower and Mid Surakhany intervals.
- Mapped Gross Depositional Environments (GDE) in PaleoScan.
- Conducted rock physics and AVO modeling in RokDoc, performing fluid substitution and generating synthetic
gathers, identifying fluid-related anomalies and classifying AVO behavior.
