About

Chalong Jaruwattanasakul is an experienced geoscientist with a focus on the North Sea, Norwegian Sea, Arctic, and Southeast Asia. He is currently working as a Geo/Data Scientist at Earth Science Analytics AS, where he is responsible for analyzing 55+ NCS seismic cubes, Norwegian Sea, Barents Sea, and New Zealand. He has consulted several clients on five exploration blocks for automatic log and seismic interpretations using AI and machine learning from 10+ seismic cubes to generate a reservoir model and pay map. Chalong has also collaborated with software engineers to develop an algorithm of AI and machine learning module for EARTHNET software about auto-seismic, fault, and log prediction. Prior to his current role, Chalong worked as a Teaching Assistant at the University of Stavanger (UiS) and as a Geophysicist at Shell. At Shell, he interpreted large seismic 3D/4D (Ormen Lange) and log dataset (>1TB) for high-resolution subsurface data with depth conversion and prospect evaluation (OOIP), involving economics potential for Shell exploration. He also participated in the well planning, targeting, and data acquisition of Nøkken well with Shell and partners. Chalong delivered a high-resolution subsurface map and reserves number, significant proposal for area relinquishment in Kvitbjørn and Valemon, which was agreed upon by asset managers and partners for the bidding round campaign. Chalong holds a Master's degree in Petroleum Geosciences Engineering from the University of Stavanger (UiS), and he has completed a scholarship in Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) from the Colorado School of Mines. He also completed a Master's degree in Applied Geosciences from RWTH Aachen University and a Master's degree in Arctic Geology and Geophysics from The University Centre in Svalbard. Chalong received his Bachelor's degree in Geology/Earth Science, General from Chulalongkorn University and his High School Diploma in Science-mathematics-German from Triam Udom Suksa School. Chalong's tech stack includes Data Scientist, Research Scientist, AI, and ML, and he has 9.27 years of relevant experience.
