SKILL SUMMARY
* NODAL Analysis & Production System Optimization: Very strong NODAL analysis & production optimization expertise. Analyze over 150 conventional and horizontal producing wells for possible bottlenecks on regular basis. Optimize every well before it is drilled for optimum perforation density and phasing, effective well completion and optimum tubing selection which results in increased well productivity. Softwares used in this area are PROSPER, PIPESIM, and PERFORM.
* Artificial Lift: Very strong Artificial Lift system design skills with expertise in ESP, Hydraulic Jet Pump, and Gas Lift performance optimization. Designed and installed several ESPs in OK, Texas, and Venezuela. Designed and finalized plans for dual life ESP in an offshore filed in order to increase ESP run life and delay offshore WO. Softwares used in this area are SubPump and PROSPER.
* Production Testing: Analyze single and multi-rate P-Q tests in low (150 scf/STB) and high (1.2 Mscf/STB) wells and perform decline curve analysis studies of seven reservoirs on regular basis.
* Hydraulic Fracturing & Acidization: Very deep knowledge of hydraulic fracturing and acid stimulation. Designed several hydraulic fracturing and acid jobs in South Texas fields.
* Produced Water Control: Analyze and recommend water shut-off jobs on regular basis in Saudi Arabian fields.
* Excellent communication and presentation skills.
* Multi-lateral & Smart Wells: Plan multi-lateral smart wells and co-ordinate with in-house completion experts and vendors on regular basis.
* Field Operational Planning: Long term field operational planning, business planning, logging and WO forecasting experience of 250 MBOD field with over 250 producing, injection and observation wells.
* Reservoir Performance: Cary out reservoir engineering & material balance studies of 4 reservoirs on regular basis for field performance forecasting and injection water volume requirements. Software used in this regard is MBAL.
* Production Forecasting: Liquid production forecasting skills in vertical and horizontal wells completed in gas condensate reservoirs producing under two and three phase flow conditions.
* Transient Pressure Testing: Very strong reservoir performance analysis expertise using latest well test engineering concepts such as Direct Synthesis of pressure and pressure derivative curves that result in an enhanced reservoir understanding. Rigorous experience with fractured, NFR, channels and horizontal well test analysis of Middle East and Gulf of Mexico fields.
* Transient Pressure Testing of Gas Condensate & CO2 Rich Reservoirs: Very strong pressure test, well deliverability, and reservoir analysis skills in high CO2 content (10-100%) reservoirs. Developed techniques to interpret well test analysis in gas condensate reservoirs flowing under two and three phase flow conditions, which then leads to establish well performance curve for each phase including water phase if mobile.
Software Packages Used: Prosper, GAP, Pipesoft, PipeSIM, FracCADE, SPAN, Peep Saphire, FAST, Eclipse 200, Eclipse 100, Eclipse Office, Perform, MBAL, and ProCADE.

* On-Platform Water Injection Source involving water supply and water injection well located on same platform: Project approved and plans underway for implementation.
* Stand-Alone ESP Project Design: Project approved and plans underway for implementation.
* Design and implementation underway of two Multi-lateral smart well
Responsibilities:
* Lead and some times supervise offshore field engineering team
* Day-to-Day reservoir management of an offshore field comprising of seven independently operating reservoirs.
* Evaluate, recommend, and design conventional, horizontal, and Multilateral wells in offshore environment
* Monitor and plan pressure maintenance activities of the filed comprising of seven individual reservoirs
* Maintain potential and spare capacity by planning field appraisal and water injection wells
* Monitor water levels in the reservoir by recommending and analyzing PNL, RST, FAL, TDT, and PLT logs and make key decisions to control over all field water cut.
* Co-ordinate with Surface Facilities Division and provide long term oil and water production forecast in order to handle produced water.
* Make key field development decisions by coordinating information from geology, formation evaluation, reservoir characterization, drilling, production engineering, and facilities design departments that result in maintaining potential and spare capacity of the field
* Predict well production performance over extended periods and optimize field performance by optimizing individual well performance of over 150 production and 50 injection wells.
* Size and optimize ESP installations for new and existing ESP equipped wells
* Plan annual reservoir surveillance activities and prepare logging and workover schedules of all the wells in offshore environment.
DCS Schlumberger, Houston, USA August 2003 to May 2005
Petroleum Engineer
Achievements:
* Designed and documented SCEPTRE Technology. It is an integrated approach to well performance optimization which involves data from well testing, production history matching, well flow after completion, perforation and other related data.
* Detected and quantified reservoir subsidence that resulted loss in permeability and increase in reservoir pressure by using PDHMS pressure data in GOM reservoir.
Responsibilities:
* Oilfield management using Schlumberger Group of Technologies oilfield management software, OFM.
* Production Enhancement Optimization of South Texas deep (> 10,000 ft) and tight (micro Darcy) sand wells using production history matching, and rate transient solutions which like, pressure derivative curve, depict the bilinear, formation linear, and pseudo radial flow regimes. This type of analysis is not possible with pressure curve since it takes years to end the infinite acting flow regime in tight (0.1-0.001 mD) sands.
* Reservoir Engineering Studies of GOM wells (Decline curve analysis, material balance, volumetric studies including OFM, ProCADE, PoeWare, Profit, and Pspliter Schlumberger software packages)
* Providing well performance studies to GOM clients, Using PERFORM, IHS energy software applications
* Providing well test analysis solutions for GOM oil and gas properties using Saphire, KAPPA engineering software application.
* Production Optimization using optimized perforation design with Schlumberger Gun products.
