Nathaniel, Rabi Bastia, Srinivas Tenepalli, Ravi Verma, SPG – 2007, Hyderabad ORGANIZED WORKSHOP Iorder to bring the international community to discuss the prospectivity of Kerala – Konkan Basin with new ideas, I was one of the key members who was instrumental in organizing workshop titled ‘Perspectives on Basin, Basalt & Bumps: Kerala Konkan Basin, India, January 2008. The meeting was attended by eminent geoscientists viz., Dr. Colin Reeves, Dr. Sverre Planke, Dr. Michael Nemcok, etc., etc. It was a big success and a very thought-provoking exhibition that not only brought a new workflow and new ideas in the forefront but also a paradigm shift in prospectivity analysis of a volcanic passive margin. TRAINING �September 2008 : Deep Sea Depositional Systems �August 2008 : Sequence Stratigraphy �December 2005 : Delta Study Institute (Godavari Delta field trip) April-May 2004 : Landmark Interpretation Packages �September 2001 : Landmark Interpretation Packages �September 2000 : Landmark Interpretation Package COMPETENCIES / STRENGTH / ACHIEVEMENTS I believe I can add significant value to any evaluation team as a geoscientist based on the following combination of skills and capabilities �A passionate explorer with expertise in opportunity evaluation in several basins and business settings�A very good understanding of all elements of geological risks / uncertainities and knowledge of diverse tools and methods to mitigate / reduce them�Getting results from large and diverse team in integrated exploration and petroleum engineering teams while maintaining strong business focus and proven ability to work.�Member of a team that won exploration / production contracts for 12 blocks against stiff global competition including three deep water blocks offered for the first time by Government of India. This made the company a largest private operator in India. �Exposed to data for several oilfields located in different basins with differing geological set-up and spanning onshore & offshore on both east & west coasts of India.�Recruitment, induction and mentoring of junior members of the team.Varied experience of analyzing the data set of multiple oilfields both in exploration & production phases, respectively�Carried out seismic and relevant data set studies for defining the prospectivity of oil & gas fields in the Himalayan Kingdom � Nepal. �Carried out seismic and relevant data set studies for defining the prospectivity of oil & gas fields in Gulf of Suez � Egypt�Setting of question papers and evaluation for new joinees in Reliance organization�On job training of the young members of the exploration team both in terms of approach and software application usage
