Seismic Interpretation

I graduate Geologist in UFRRJ in 1977. In 1976, as trainee, I've spent 3 months in a Western Geophysical Seismic Land Crew (ES-39). My first and unique job was as Geophysicist at Petróleo Brasileiro SA, Petrobras. I start my career as researcher in Cenpes (Petrobras Research Center) in January/1978. First 3 years were dedicated fully to training, w... hen I became trained Geophysicist and addicionally Mainframe System Analyst and Programmer. From 1981 to May/1982 I was Seismic Processing Geophysicist at Petrobras Headquarters in Rio de Janeiro. From 1982 to 1985 I was Seismic Processing Manager at Denor, a regional unit in Belém-PA. From 1985 to 1987 I became MSc in Geophysics at UFBA. Prof Cinna Lomnitz and Prof Dan Kosloff were my advisors in master thesis. From 1988 to 1990 I stayed as Seismic Processing Manager in Belém-PA and So Mateus-ES. So Mateus was the first Petrobras owned Seismic Processing Center outside Rio de Janeiro Headquarters. From 1990 to 1995 I went back to technical career as Seismic Processing Geophysicist in Salvador-BA, working in special projects. In 1995 I migrated to Seismic Interpretation. At this time I've started developing Windows Computer Algorithms based on Microsoft/Compaq Visual Fortran to help in Seismic Interpretation. It never was my job, ever it was/is a hobby, because I like too much programming. As Seismic Interpreter I became very successful in oil findings, from 2002 to 2012: it was 19 oil discoveries in Campos Basin, as lead owner. Some of then became oil producers and some are waiting to be launched, depending upon production facilities. In 2005 I stayed as Technical Supervisor in Petrobras-UFOP Project on Seismic Interpretation, focused in Campos Basin. Last 5 years (2008-2013) I've been working as Consultant. Last 7 years I was additionally involved in Project/Prospect evaluation to all Petrobras units: Headquarters, Regional units and International. I participated in many oil discoveries in this period: in Cuenca Austral (Argentina), Angola, Campos Basin, Santos ...Read More
