CSIRO Mathematical and Information Sciences (1988-2003)
Employed as Senior Research Scientist 1995-2003, working with CSIRO Petroleum. Responsible for research and development of innovative technology systems for the Genesis project and spin off operations. Genesis is a 5 million dollar oil and gas industry project that produced an intelligent system for optimal drilling and field development with risk assessment and economics. The global project was funded by 6 oil companies with another 5 contributing data. Case based reasoning, fluid flow modelling and natural language information extraction and retrieval technologies were developed and the system has been sold to oil and service companies in Egypt, USA, Europe, Brazil Mexico and Australia. Spin off projects include “Well Quality and Risk Assessment for Deepwater Wells”, and “Completions”. Both projects were funded by industry for several million dollars.
