WORK EXPERIENCE
Reservoir engineer with 7 years oil and gas production and exploration experience with a major
oil company. As a reservoir engineer I have studied reservoir behavior and characteristics to
determine future development plans and production profiles feeding economic evaluations,
employed data from various sources to produce development scenarios using computer models to
simulate production and to quantify the impact of uncertainty and risk. I have determined well
numbers and sites for incremental development activities, such as commissioning additional
wells or recommending the employment of enhanced recovery technologies, as well as
monitoring and updating models as necessary during the reservoir life cycle. Currently working
with Shell Technology India as a Reservoir Engineer from January 2007. Also I am pursuing my
Masters degree from Heriot Watt University through distance learning. Total experience is
briefed here:
