Kirill A. Ezhov
Kirill A. Ezhov joined DeGolyer and MacNaughton’s Moscow office in 2020 as a petrophysicist specializing in reservoir studies based on log, core, well-test, and geologic data. Before joining D&M, Ezhov was a chief of formation evaluation laboratory at Gazpromneft.
Ezhov graduated from Gubkin State University of Oil and Gas, Moscow, with a master’s degree in petrophysics and well logging in 2011. He has authored over 40 publications related to petrophysics, geomechanics, and geology. Ezhov is fluent in Russian, English, and Serbian.

Major Projects
Ezhov specializes in the interpretation of advanced well-logging tools and integration with conventional methods, core data, and well-test results.
He has significant background in petrophysical algorithm automatization and optimization using Python, and also experienced in R&D work related to unconventional reservoir evaluation.
Ezhov has conducted petrophysical interpretations for reserves estimation in various reservoirs in Russia and the Pannonian Basin. He is skilled in both probabilistic (multi-mineral modeling) and deterministic petrophysical analysis.
