EDUCATION

University of Southern California, Los Angeles

School of Petroleum Technology, Gandhinagar, India WORK EXPERIENCE

Production Engineer (Artificial Lift)

Worked in production team to maintain and enhance production from 250+ wells on artificial lift and associated surface equipment at Mangala Asset

Conducted routine monitoring and troubleshooting of problems related to Jet Pump and ESPs and PCPs Worked with optimization team to design well intervention jobs such as sand bailing, P3, Post-Perf etc. and oversee their execution on the field

Involved in execution of Infill well-drilling program, worked on well completions, surface and subsurface well equipment selection

Involved in field implementation of Polymer EOR project including both surface and sub-surface aspects and conversion of producers to injectors

Worked on SCADA and DCS system for well monitoring and data gathering as part of Digitial Oilfield and analysed failure trends for downhole equipment saving potential costs of workover jobs Drilling Intern

Formulated complete well plan of a deep sea well including all aspects of casing, drill string, cementing, mud policy, bit planning and BHA designing

Evaluated stuck pipe instances in nearby wells and changed existing drilling assembly design Successfully used Landmark and WellCat software for well profiling,designing Gained exposure to LOT and BOP function checks on field Gained exposure to exploration well-testing equipment and procedures Ni tish Singh 1

Reservoir Intern

Assisted in Reservoir Fluid Assessment and Reservoir characterization based on PVT Analysis. Studied Flow Assurance problems encountered in Field Sample Study Formulated production strategies using Wellflo and PVTFlex to prevent liquid loading in condensate wells PROJECT EXPERIENCE

Rate optimization and Well Placement using SPSA Optimization Algorithm Nov 2015 - Dec 2015 Using global search techniques for optimization designed program to optimize well placement followed by rate selection to maximize NPV objective function. Utilized SPSA algorithm to evaluate best-case scenario. Commissioning of Mangala EOR project (Cairn India) Dec 2013 - Aug 2015 Worked as a production engineer with Completions for the conversion of producers into injectors and planned allocation of polymer injection volumes .

Downhole chemical injection for Jet Pumps (Cairn Energy) June 2013 - Dec 2013 Reduced jet pump scaling and pressure losses in tubing, devised method to pump to SI at JP fluid interface through mandrels in the presence of H2S Scavanger in the annulus. Optimal Reservoir Management through Water Injection Aug 2012 - Dec 2012 Analysed and design a water injection plan for producing oilfield in Cambay Basin (ONGC Asset). Greatly appreciated by ONGC for the innovative use of type curves to delineate core flooding tests to implement a varied pattern injection in the field.
