Expertise
I can answer to the questions related to the following disciplines mainly: geology, geophysics, general geomorphology, stratigraphy, seismic stratigraphy and sequence stratigraphy. I would like to answer Geophysical question too with keen interest specifically exploration related. I want to hear from users for their queries on exploration geophysics/geology. Especially, in the discipline of Reservoir Characterization from multi-discipline data. The questions related to basics and interpretational applications would be most welcome. I can not answer the questions related to astronomly, ecology/environmetal sciences, mineralogy and petrology/petrophysics. Such categories are not my discipline of experience.
Experience in the area
Four years in different services with additional case studies of Pakistan, China, Saudi Arabia and Netherlands offshore.
Organizations
dGB Earth Sciences, The Netherlands. Please also visit my website (www.seismicinterpretation.weebly.com)
Education/Credentials
Master in Philosophy with specialization in reservoir characterization by using Sequence Stratigraphy. And master in Geophysics with a case study of Punjab Platform.
Awards and Honors
Position Holder in Academics.
What do you like about this subject?
Sequence stratigraphy is based upon logics and actual aspects. The striking aspect is paleo-analysis (i.e. predict past) which is a continuous process of reconstruction. And most of us do mistakes. And remember sometimes number of mistakes brings new things in box.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?
I always learn...
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:
It is a hot topic in the Oil Industry. And all geologists as well as geophysicists must have an awareness of this subject for their furture.
