About Olasumbo Areago
Senior Petrophysicist
A degree educated Petrophysicist who possesses 15 years of specialist industry experience, is results-driven and ambitious; has specialist knowledge in formation evaluation, reservoir characterization, hydrocarbon exploration and maximum/ efficient exploitation of current reserves. This experience has been gathered working in oil and gas service companies, operator and non-operators; in multidisciplinary teams sometimes sitting across continents. I am patient, approachable and will apply meticulous attention to detail, particularly in challenging environments and will remain calm when dealing with pressurised situations.

Oando Energy Resources
Duration: Nov 30, -0001 to Nov 30, -0001 .
Position: Senior Petrophysicist
Duration: Nov 30, -0001 to Nov 30, -0001 .
Description:
Prepare, supervise and quality control cost-effective logging and coring programs and ensure best
working practices (state of the art) techniques are applied.
• Quality Control petrophysical data to ensure that data are correctly processed and presented in a
suitable format by contractor companies for in-house interpretation.
• Conduct or quality control petrophysical interpretations using computer software applications
(workstation and PC based), to quantify the petrophysical characteristics of the reservoirs and to
improve knowledge of the reservoirs and to quantify reserves estimates and reservoir
performance.
• Construct, maintain and update petrophysical models.
• Undertake petrophysical data analysis and interpretations of open hole and cased hole data on
wells and fields.
• Contribute to the setup of saturation height models, including estimations for fluid contacts and
free-water-levels
• Identify and appraise main uncertainties of petrophysical content in reservoir models and mitigate
their associated risks to business projects and relevant decisions by addressing them with
appropriate appraisal measures.
• Support petrophysical log and core data evaluations by incorporating relevant reservoir-geology
content.
• Characterize and delineate petrophysical facies types and assess their relation to litho-types as
well as sedimentological facies.
• Effective correlations of well and generation of cross sections.
• Quantify formation and fluid properties - lithology, porosity, hydrocarbon and water saturations, net
sand/pay, net-to-gross, permeability, fluid type, and fluid viscosity, etc
• Work with geologists, engineers and geological technician to develop core, log and fluid
relationships for input into geological and reservoir models.

University:
Federal University of Technology Minna
Degree: Bachelors (B. Tech)
Graduation Year: 2006
Area: Geology
Start - End Year: 2001 - 2006
Notes:
Getting a B.Tech degree in geology was challenging but worth it. Learning was highly practical/technical with field work every year for 5 years in both basement (Older and younger granites) and sedimentary regions (Sokoto/Bida basins) of Nigeria. This highly technical approach has made me very analytical and helps me tackle problems with relative ease.
