Senior Exploration Geoscientist with 13+ years in the offshore hydrocarbon basins of Peninsular Malaysia. PETRONAS Scholar. Double Major in Geology & Geophysics and Economics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
My work sits at the intersection of subsurface interpretation, economic risk, and system design. The discipline I built reading sedimentary records is the same one I now apply to artificial intelligence.
This repository is THE SURFACE — the human layer of the arifOS Trinity.
All wells offshore Peninsular Malaysia, Malay Basin.
| Well | Play Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| BEKANTAN-1 | Structural | Hydrocarbon discovery in a basin widely considered mature. Proved remaining potential through fresh prospect evaluation. |
| PUTERI BASEMENT-1 | Fractured Basement | Basement play matured through structural analysis. Demonstrated the viability of pre-Tertiary reservoirs in the Malay Basin. |
| LEBAH EMAS-1 | New Play Concept | Wildcat well in Block PM6/12, offshore Terengganu. Discovery that opened a new geological play and challenged the perception of Peninsular Malaysia as an exhausted basin. |
| BUNGA TASBIH-1 | Structural / Stratigraphic | Contributed to a Discovered Resource Opportunity cluster in the Malay Basin. Field subsequently awarded under a Small Field Asset PSC via Malaysia Bid Round Plus (MBR+) Round I, July 2024. |
100% exploration drilling success rate. Instrumental to PM318 realization. Shallowest flowing oil discovery in Malaysia.
In 2024, I started building arifOS — a constitutional governance kernel for artificial intelligence.
The premise: the same principles that govern rigorous subsurface interpretation — evidence hierarchies, reversibility, auditability, and honesty about uncertainty — should be encoded as law in AI systems. Not as guidelines. As law.
