Production engineer with 15 years working experience in petroleum engg. related work.

Interest in Production performance engineering field which will cover production performance monitoring and analysis, production optimization. Building of well model and IPR using software to diagnose specific problem and proposing solution.

Detailed Professional Experience:
Organisation: Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited, Served 15 years (till April,2007 from January,1992).
A) Experience with Surface team, as Superintending Engineer (Production)
1. Modelling of well by tuning PVT, multiphase flow correlations and IPR to match measured field data, use of this model for carrying out sensitivities for gas lift design
2.Imparted training to Junior Engineers/Trainee Engineers.
3.Designing of artificial lift system using different industry accepted program and In-house developed Software.


B) Experience in Well Analysis Department as Deputy Superintending Engineer (Production) and Executive Engineer (Production)
1.Engaged in building up expertise in the area of diagnosis and analysis of specific field/well problems based on production as well as reservoir engineering aspect, co-ordination with multidisciplinary department and finalise suitable remedial measures for problematic/underperformance wells.
2.Reservoir material balance simulation by modelling producing reservoir based on fluid characterization, reservoir parameters and actual production performance.
3.Modelling of well by tuning PVT, multiphase flow correlations and IPR to match measured field data, use of this model for carrying out sensitivities for gas lift design.
4.Modelling of production system containing oil & gas wells as well as water injection system and optimization to maximize oil production keeping in view of different constraints at different level.
5.Hand-on experience in using software packages MBAL, PROSPER, GAP, PIPESIM, PIPESIM-NET, DSS. To some extend in-house developed programs (based on related published literature information) were also used for analysis.
6.Imparted training to Junior Engineers.

C) Experience in Process Engineering Division as Assistant Executive Engineer (Production)
1.Basic engineering/ design, generation of PFD’s/P&ID’s of process facilities using process simulation package PRO-VISION, INPLANT.
2.De-bottlenecking of oil and gas processing
