Major Projects
Moskvina has more than 15 years of experience in geological evaluation and integrating subsurface geoscience data for the independent assessment of oil and gas assets. Her primary focus is the geologic evaluation and classification of in-place hydrocarbon volumes for estimating reserves in accordance with SEC and PRMS requirements. She evaluates carbonate and sandstone reservoirs such as deepwater turbidite fans or multi-stack, hydrocarbon-saturated sand lobes deposited in fluvio-deltaic to shallow marine environments, but her experience also includes hydrocarbon reservoir evaluation in such unique geologic environments as porous granites in Norway or thin beds offshore Italy, which feature alternations of sands and clays with gas levels interspersed with water levels.
She has performed reservoir description, geological mapping in various structural and depositional environments, static modeling, reservoir correlation, and log analysis for numerous fields offshore Africa, Northern Sea, Europe, the Middle East, South and North Caspian, Volga-Urals, and Western Siberia.
Moskvina has also been involved in resources evaluations using the probabilistic approach.
