Academic Projects

ESP application in Horizontal Wellbore (Thesis-Ongoing): The objective of this project is to understand how placing ESP in horizontal section will change the flow in reservoir.

Bottom-hole Pressure Calculation for MPD using VBA: The objective of the project is to develop a program to accurately calculate bottom-hole pressure for manage pressure drilling. The constant backpressure is applied on the system at surface.

Reservoir Uncertainty Analysis using Microsoft Excel: Resource assessment of shale gas is carried out by compilation of geologic information and reservoir properties assembled from technical literature and data from publically available company reports and presentations

Geomechnical Modeling for Pressure Supported Field using Petrel: Study carried out to investigate the impact of one-way vs. two way coupling of geo-mechanical considerations using Visage into an existing Eclipse Reservoir Simulation ; To investigate the impact of different Boundary Conditions specifically, Gravity Pressure vs. Initialization
