Sony Malik

Senior Exploration & Development Geologist with 12+ years of Oil & Gas experience working across the full subsurface value chain, from exploration through development. My role includes GGRP integrated analysis, prospect generation and lead identification, risk assessment, building 3D static reservoir models, volumetric assessments, well planning, field PSE & POD/POFD preparation, and supporting drilling operations. My expertise lies in petroleum geology, with a strong focus on play-based exploration, prospect generation and maturation, sequence stratigraphy, reservoir characterization, seismic and petrophysical interpretation, facies analysis, depositional environment interpretation and geostatistic.
