PROFILE
Dedicated and energetic petroleum engineer with 4 years of production experience with a major oil
company. Planning yearly surveillance to monitor and improve Waterflood/ miscible gas injection
conformance. Experience in system modeling and optimization utilizing the PETEX toolkit. Planning well
work interventions for enhancing and maintaining oil production.
Open to relocation.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS
 Graduated BP's three year Challenger Program
 Worked with reservoir engineers for water flood conformance, benefits >1000 bbls oil per day
 Baggedseveral awards for highest IOR, most efficient, highest cumulative oil ratewell work and
best wellwork of the month
 Evaluated, recommended and executed end of life perforations in a few wells which resulted in
production increase of ~3000 bbls oil per day
 Built GAP model for FS3 as part of the state of the art PrISM model that comprised of PROSPER
models for 350 wells and their surface kit connections
 Winner of BP-UAF Scholarship

using Zeolite”
 Appreciated for excellent team working spirit
 Admired for good communication skills
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
09/2015 to Current: Petroleum Engineer – West Gravity Drainage- Prudhoe Bay
BP Exploration Alaska - Anchorage, Alaska
 Delivering 20 MBOPD for 3 pads comprising of 50 wells
 Proposed and got approval for the N-pad debottlenecking project with expected benefits of
~1000 bbls oil per day
 Production optimization during plant upsets and managing wells deferrals
 Lead technical area reviews for understanding waterflood strategyand devise a plan to ensure
the success of a $ 50 MM project (UZI)
 Planned wellwork for a well to address low productivity of the well due to asphaltenes and
increased the oil rate by 600 bopd
 Analyzed the wellwork spend efficiency for last 7 years for 3 pads and addressed the gaps for
improving efficiency by job category
 Troubleshooting and optimizing GL rateand injection depth using PROSPER
08/2013 to 09/2015: Petroleum Engineer- East Waterflood - Prudhoe Bay
BP Exploration Alaska - Anchorage, Alaska
 Delivered 15 MBOPD for 2 pads comprising of 55 wells

2.  Evaluate, recommend, and plan interventions to improve water flood and MI conformance
(Brightwater, cement squeeze, re-completion, etc. Production increased ~1000 bbls oil per day)
 Monitor the WHP and injection rates to ensure the ratesand pressure arewithin the safe
operating limits and not exceeding the fracture pressure
 Experience in planning well interventions like water shutoff’s, GSO’s, acid stimulation for scale
removal, schmoo be gone for injectors, gas lift redesigns, WAG swaps and integrity testing.
 Participated in an interdisciplinary Area Performance Evaluation (APE) for one of my pads
(organize well data, well history, conformance and document list of identified opportunities)- 6
drilling prospects were identified
 Debottlenecking the water limited FS2 facility by proposing to swap DS-11 from SWI to PWI with
estimated benefits of 900 bopd
 Revived 3 long term shut in wells (LTSI) by executing wellwork which resulted in 3000 bopd
incremental oil rate.
 6 months of experience/training with well interventions (E-line, slickline, coil tubing, well
integrity, pumping and operations) on the Alaska North Slope.
 Quality control well tests, well events, production/ injection flow rateestimation, perforation
databases, velocity management to control erosion by allocating well tests in a timely manner.
08/2013 to 09/2015: Production Engineer Specialist- System Modeling and Optimization -
Prudhoe Bay
BP Exploration Alaska - Anchorage, Alaska
 Core member of the teamfor delivering state of the art PrISM (Prudhoe integratedsystem
model) model
 Built POSPER models for more than ~ 350 wells
 Built surface (GAP) model linked to PROSPER models for 5 pads and Flow Station 3 facility
 Used the chunks of the model for system optimization, PRP (pipeline replacement project)
analysis which helped with crucial capital investment decisions, wellwork and RWO benefits in a
bottlenecked system.
08/2010 to 03/2012: Graduate Research Assistant
University of Alaska Fairbanks - Fairbanks, Alaska
 Studied the additives for HTHP oil well cement
 Explored Zeolites and its potential as an additive for making lighter cement
 Studied API lab practices and procedures for oil well cement design
 Performed the initial screening of samples received from Department of Energy (DOE)
01/2011 to 05/2011: Graduate teaching Assistant
University of Alaska Fairbanks - Fairbanks, Alaska
 Conducted experiments and taught lab for finding Rock and Fluid Properties of core and oil
samples
