PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
* Domain Expert in Exploration /Development Management of Domestic (NELP)
block as well as Global bid (OVL) evaluation job.
* Proactive Planner with strong Geological Conceptualization acumen for Oil/Gas
Field Discovery predictive skill.
* Exceptional Mentor, Inspiring Leader& Trainer per excellence; created several
growth centers not only in O.N.G.C. but to propel the growth of Upstream E&P
Industry as a whole , acted as a nodal bridge between Industry & academia.
* Worked as the Exploration Incharge (Block Manager) for Assam-Arakan Fold-
Belt/occasional officiated as Basin Manager (Unit Head) for Assam Basin (Oldest
Oil producing basin of N. E. India) and M.B.A. Basin (a multi basin complex with
vast expanse & huge resource potential).
* Global/Domestic exposure for Basin Analysis & Prospect Evaluation job (Total10
project Reports) for almost all Types of Basins of India & analogous Basins of the

2. world. In the case of Two Basins (Proterozoic Interior sag & Interior Rift) Oil/Gas
prospect as predicted, became true subsequently.
* Deputed for Work association job assignment at Western Geophysical co.,
Singapore for Processing of quality Seismic Data of Bengal Basin & Tripura;
resulting in discovery of Agartala Dome Gas Field, in challenging Fold-Belt area of
N. E. India. This quality seismic data is adding value to delineation/development
work.
* As a Team lead, guided 6 years, several teams for Operational Geological as well
as Exploration and Production & Development Geological (P. & D.G.) job resulting
in 6 Gas wells discovery & doubling the Reserve Base for Tripura Fold belt.
* Efficiently supervised integrated interpretation team at Chennai for N.E.L.P. Docket
preparation (awarded project), Prospect Evaluation around Mattur, Vadateru-
Neduvasal &Tulsapatnam areas (leading to discovery of Tulsapatnam oil field).
Reserve Estimation for new/old (Re-estimation) Oil /Gas Fields of Cauvery & K.G.
Basin, resulting in substantial Enhancement of Reserve base & production making
a turn around for this Basin.
* Effectively Assisted in Bid-evaluation work for a producing block in Russia.
Sick Well Analysis & Production Enhancement Planning for Cauvery Basin, given a
tremendous boost in profit. Effectively acted as a change Agent for Revamping of
O.N.G.C. to Maharatna Co.,through O.T.P.C. by Mac. Kinsey &Co., U.K.
* As Chief Geologist mentored 5 Team (for 11 projects.) as a Group Head of
Reservoir Delineation Group to provide R & D Support to almost all Basins/Assets
of India. Completed R&D Project Reports on Reservoir Modeling & Re-evaluation of
11 Fields (Oil & Gas) resulting in substantial Field Growth &Production
enhancement in all 11 Fields spanning whole of India, propelling Profit/growth of
this great E&P Co.
* As Deputy General Manager Geology, managed 5 groups of multidisciplinary team
for R & D Support to K.G. Basin, Deep Water Areas & Assets through Integrated
Basin R& D support on Sequence/Play Analysis, Prospect Evaluation,
Proposals/Review of Quality of Exploratory/Development locations etc. resulting in
transforming this area to second largest producing offshore exploratory area in
India with substantial growth potential.
* As a nominated domain specialist Assessed/Reviewed reserve estimate of deep-
water blocks of Cairn Energy during acquisition by ONGC which has given
tremendous profit to the co.
* Deputed to O.V.L. as a Domain Expert in 2 occasions, for leading a team to carry
out Bid Evaluation Job of 4 Exploratory Blocks & 1 Development Block of
Indonesia.
* As an Exploration (Block) Manager (D.G.M. /G. M. Geology) effectively Managed
several acreage teams of A .A .F. B. ,for almost 3 fold Reserve Growth, 7
significant gas field/pool Discoveries(Khubal, Tulamura, Hortoki, Pathimara, South
Gojalia, Agartala Dome West flank, North Baramura), substantial increase in P. M.
L. / Production Potential which enabled the Co. to make 3 fold reserve base for
starting the 1st
Phase of Asia’s biggest GAS Power Plant & a new Fertilizer Plant at
Tripura establishing this Fold- Belt area as an Emerging Big GAS province.
Received several Awards & Published papers on these case history jobs.
* As General Manager Geology Guided the team of Geoscientists for effective Bid
Monitoring activities of M. B. A. Basin, from planning to Monitoring to execution of
Exploration related activities resulting in Enhancing Reserve base &
Strengthening of D. O. C. for 2 Blocks of Mahanadi Basin . Acted as Exploration
Head (Basin Manager) several times for this vast, huge resource prone Basin.
Submitted a Status Report on all N. E. L. P. acreages.
* Invited as a guest Examiner/Guide/Speaker/ Lecturer & Presented/Published
