Message

At CaspianGeophysical (SOCAR), I manage subsurface and exploration data across seismic, well, geological, petrophysical, and reservoir disciplines. I develop governance frameworks and workflows, and support data integration and migration across Petrel, Studio, and OpenWorks.

At bp, I led global subsurface data management across multiple squads and delivered well-related data products in cloud environments. I also delivered three OSDU Forum milestones on time with zero delivery lag and contributed to bp’s Copilot research group on generative AI adoption in data management.
