Career in the Oil Industry
Numerous experiences on the field

My knowledge is based on numerous projects, working both at Exploration and Production scales, and on numerous training run since the beginning of my career in Shell.
I initially, spent 5 years in the Shell Research lab where we have developed some of the foundation concepts of modern structural geology. I have led the sandbox laboratory and run numerous experimental programs covering all structural styles.
I have then spent 3 years in Oman in Exploration as a seismic interpreter and in a structural geology support role.
This was followed by 4 years in Shell Carbonate Development Research Team focusing on Fractured reservoirs.


I went back to Oman for 7 years to implement fractured reservoir software technology. I was also Shell’s Structural Geology Subject Matter Expert for the Middle East.
I finally spent 10 years in Shell Global Solutions, as a global consultant, working on fault interpretation, kinematic interpretation and fractured reservoir projects and training.
I have spent the last 3 years as the Head of the structural geology discipline in Shell.
