Shinichi
joined the Bureau in Summer 2000 when he took retirement from ARCO Technology
and Operation Services in Plano, Texas. He is applying his skills as a
petrophysicist to a joint Bureau-Pemex basin analysis study.
After graduation from
Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan, in 1971, Shinichi spent three years
in Southeast Asia conducting core analysis and well site work. He then
worked on advanced core analysis technology, moving to London to set up
a new SCAL laboratory. His next assignment was supervisor for petrophysical
evaluation group.
He joined BP (Sohio
Oil and Gas Co.) in San Francisco and worked on many North Slope projects.
In 1990, he moved to Plano, Texas to work for ARCO Oil and Gas Company.
His interests included applying integrated skills for reservoir description
and exploration studies; creating petrophysical models by integrating
core, mud log, formation pressure, and wireline logs; helping to acquire
exploration leases, including bypassed pay prospects; and setting up a
logging program, together with work as well-site petrophysicist.
