WORK EXPERIENCE

Drilling Engineer

R.K. Ford & Associates, Midland, TX April 2012-Present

Prepare AFE’s, stake new wells & build locations for oil and gas wells in Permian Basin.

Research offset well information and write drilling programs for new wells and re-entry

wells.

Design casing strings, cementing plans, directional paths for horizontal wells, drilling

fluids program, drill string and drill bit programs.

Bid out work to different service companies for items like location work, cementing,

drilling fluids, drilling bits, logging, casing, mud logging, wire line, rental equipment etc.

Perform bit hydraulics for improving drilling efficiency and wellbore stability.

Monitoring the daily progress of well operations and current daily costs, comparing actual

costs with cost expenditure proposals and recommending changes or improvements to rig

work techniques, which could lead to optimization of expenditure.

Visit the rigs from time to time to monitor critical drilling operations like cement jobs,

casing runs etc.

Monitor real time drilling activities through Pason, go through morning drilling and cost

reports and discuss day-to-day drilling activities with the onsite drilling consultant for

ongoing projects in Permian Basin.

Managed drilling operations of vertical and horizontal wells in Wolfcamp, Bonespring and

Delaware formations in West Texas and South-east New Mexico.

Research Assistant Jan 2011-Jan 2012

Dept. of Petroleum & Chemical Engineering

New Mexico Institute of Mining & Technology, Socorro, NM

Thesis topic “Well Completion Design using well performance modeling, artificial lift

feasibility study, tubular stress and deformation analysis”.

Used Petroleum Experts software “PROSPER” to analyze a well for natural flow under a

given reservoir pressure.

Installed artificial lift methods, “Electric Submersible Pump” and “Artificial Gas Lift”

to start the flow from the well.

Determined the most suitable tubing size on the basis of higher production rate from a set

of available tubing sizes.

Calculated deformation due to different stresses and loads on the selected tubing using the

software Landmark’s WellCat to prevent the tubing from failure.

Field Intern Jun 2011-Aug 2011

Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC), Mehsana, India

Worked on “Extended Reach Drilling and Drilling & Completion of Horizontal Wells” in

the field at Mehsana, India.

Analyzed different factors that affect extended reach drilled wells especially torque and

drag and worked on a mathematical model to reduce the effects of the same on the

wellbore.

Assisted in the drilling of wells and studied about electric submersible pumps and artificial

gas lifts used at Mehsana asset for well completions.

Teaching Assistant Aug 2010-Dec 2010

Dept. of Petroleum & Chemical Engineering

New Mexico Institute of Mining & Technology, Socorro, NM

Provided students with an understanding of experiments, analysis and interpretation of

experimental data.

Guided students in the preparation of laboratory reports.

Graded homework, exams and conducted quizzes.

Tutoring sessions to mentor senior undergraduate students.

Research Intern May 2008-Jun 2008

Whirlpool of India Ltd, Faridabad, India

Worked on a project titled “Sealed System of a Refrigerator” and designed a new brazing

technique for joining the Compressor and Anti-Moisture Tube to provide a more robust

and leak-proof joint. This new method is still in operation in the company.

Reduced the variation of compressor oil in an oil charging machine by studying the

governing factors and adjusting the pressure difference in the machine.

ACHIEVEMENTS

Cleared IIT Joint Entrance Examination, IIT JEE (Highest-caliber engineering entrance

examination in India), April 2005.

Participated in “JK TYRE BAJA SAEINDIA 2009” competition organized under SAE

India, ARAI and NATRIP, January-February 2009 and helped my team to develop an All-

Terrain off Road Vehicle for the same.
