Petroleum Engineer

I am a Petroleum Engineer with a keen interest in Physics and Reservoir Simulation. I believe the upstream sector to be the ideal place to utilise both practical skills and knowledge gained from my academia.

Fresh Graduate

2014 – 2015 London South Bank University: MSc in Petroleum Engineering
• Started my Postgraduate Studies in Petroleum Engineering to broaden my knowledge of the whole upstream business, in-order to make myself a stronger subsurface professional.
• I am learning about all aspects of Production and Reservoir Engineering. My final thesis project is based on estimating uncertainties of variables used to calculate volumetrics.
2011 – 2014 University of Manchester: B Eng. Petroleum Engineering (Result 2:1)
• As a Reservoir/ Production Engineer in the final design project. I created a depletion plan, data acquisition plan and also optimised well rates and reserve recovery of a heavy oil reservoir, based in the UK North Sea.
• Received training from Reservoir engineers working at Schlumberger on how to use PETREL RE and Eclipse Black Oil Simulator. I later used this software to complete my final design project.

Projects
2015 Thesis Project
• The main objective of the thesis project was to test using a simplified three-dimensional model in PETREL the effects of the volumetrics parameters on reserves and reserves uncertainty.
• This project helped me improve software skills such as PETREL, Eclipse and Excel as well as further develop skills in scientific report writing, data analysis and scientific communication skills.
2014 Taminga Field Development Project
• In the final design project, I was assigned the role of Reservoir Engineer and Facilities Manager. This reservoir was very complex as it was compartmentalised and of heavy oil.
• Looking at pressure maps, I decided in the depletion plan to apply water injection virtually from the start to ensure bubble point pressure of the reservoir does not drop to release undesired gas.
• I developed skills in using PETREL R.E, Eclipse Black oil simulator as well as a reservoir and production engineering.
2013 West Sole Seismic Interpretation Project
• In this project, I interpreted seismic lines, determined the top of the reservoir unit and mapped major faults and intrusions.
• Based on the two way time-depth analysis, I constructed the contoured TWT-structure map of the reservoir.
• Learned about geological structures and incorporated all that knowledge to propose a well on the generated depth map.
