Career Summary :

** ***** ** standing as a Geologist in multinational Exploration & Production

companies.

Team work and focused approach led to building static Geological models,

participation in design of field development plans, review of EOR scheme,

redevelopment and production optimization in both green and brown fields of

clastics &carbonates.

Persistent basin evaluation studies facilitated in defining petroleum systems,

formulation of exploration strategy, identification of leads and maturing several

of them into drillable prospects.

Effective team management led to successful completion of 20 wells without a lost

hole or major drilling problems in 2 campaigns of exploration & appraisal

drilling in Cambay basin.

Evaluation & technical recommendations on tenders and supervision, effected in

successful implementation of contracts for geological services.

Effective on site monitoring of wells, mudlogging and well logging operations led

to successful completion of 35 deep & high pressure exploratory wells in

geologically complex basins.

Enormous experience in exploration & development coupled with proficiency in soft

skills of Petrel and Landmark tools led to effective performance in assigned

projects.

Persistent learning & mentoring, adoptability, flexibility in work environment

led to achieve a good knowledge and a lot of confidence to take up responsible

positions in E&P companies.

2011- 2014: Development Geology in Subsurface Group

(Consultant Development Geologist, Sonangol P&P, Luanda, Angola)

Designed and performed a project on rejuvenation of offshore carbonate brown

fields of Congo basin in a team environment and submitted proposals with an

expected additional recovery of about 7.5Mbls.

Performed static geological modeling of Palanca-Impala, and offshore carbonate

field in a team environment, which led to an increase in STOOIP by 60Mbls.

Interacted & performed in a multi-cultural team in designing & implementation of

field development plan of Dinge & Punja fields, which have been taken up for

development.

Participated in technical meetings and reviewed the exploration & development

works in non-operated blocks.

2008- 2011: Operations Geology for exploratory & appraisal wells

Cambay Basin, Gujarat, India.

(Cadre: Sr.Manager, Reliance Industries Limited)

Managed 2 phases of exploratory & appraisal drilling campaign in rift and post

rift basin settings without a lost hole or major drilling complications.

Meticulous well planning and execution enabled to meet the geological targets and

successful completion of around 20 wells.

Planned and carried out rig less testing and completions for single zone shallow

wells, thereby saving a lot of drilling rig time and cost to the company.

Participated in review meetings with asset team on results and progress of the

project and made presentations.

Technically evaluated & recommended tenders for geological services of mudlogging

& topographic survey and supervised the contract, which led to quality data

collection.

2004 - 2008: Development Geology in Subsurface Group

2007-2008: Sub surface Group, Mehsana Asset, Cambay Basin, India.

(Cadre: Superintending Geologist)

Supervised projects on modeling of KS-1 reservoir of Lanwa and Santhal fields to

understand the compartmentalization, reservoir heterogeneity, and effect of EOR,

resulting production optimization.

2004-2007: Subsurface Group, Assam Asset, Assam Arakan Basin, India.

(Cadre: Superintending Geologist, Assam Asset.)

Carried out a project on reservoir Characterization of Geleki field, a brown

field with multi-layered reservoir for identifying bypassed oil and recommended

infills and workovers for optimizing production.

Carried out Sick well analysis, identified, planned, monitored work over jobs and

revived around 20 sick / shut in wells with a gain of around 800 bopd.

Participated and presented in asset board meetings on opportunities in mature

fields.

1997 - 2004: Exploration Geology

Exploration group in Krishna Godavari Basin, India.

(Cadre: Superintending Geologist)

Carried out a project on "Pre-basalt prospects of west Godavari sub basin to

understand petroleum systems and to formulate exploration strategy.

Carried out Play fairway analysis, generated leads and matured 8 of them into

drillable prospects, in Mandapeta, Mandapeta-west & Razole areas, with gas

strikes in 4 wells.

Performed regional stratigraphic analysis of Gollapalli sandstone of Cretaceous

age to understand the reservoir continuity and quality.

Analyzed & evaluated exploratory results for prioritization of drillable

prospects.

Volumetric calculations.

Documented geoscientific data for well planning, GTOs.

1995 - 1997: Operations Geology for deep HP-HT wells

Operations Geologist in Krishna Godavari Basin, India.

(Cadre: Dy.Suptdg.Geologist)

Meticulous well planning & execution enabled successful completion 10 deep HTHP

exploratory wells in a deep drilling campaign.

Coordinated with survey / civil teams and effectively planned rig movement and

avoided idling of rigs and saved rig days between movements.

Performed log evaluations and guided well site geologists for identifying target

reservoirs to collect quality data.

Analyzed the historical production testing operations with deep drilling rigs,

devised a standard testing procedure and saved rig time.

Constantly coordinated with project geologists and discussed drilling progress

and course corrections if necessitated.

Carried out post drill data analysis and generated the final well completion

reports.

1985 - 1995: Well site Geology for Deep HP-HT exploratory wells

1991 - 1995: Well site Geologist in Krishna Godavari Basin, India.

(Cadre: Sr.Geologist)

1985 - 1991: Well site Geologist Assam Arakan fold belt, Tripura, India.

(Cadre: Geologist / Sr.Geologist)

foldbelt, many deep HP-HT wells in geologically complex basins.

Monitored wells beyond 5000m depth with mud weights of more than 1.85.

Continuous analysis of mud logging data, various pressure plots & studies and

timely advice to drillers helped in avoiding complications like kicks & lost

holes in deep wells.

Onsite data analysis leading to identification of hydrocarbon zones and high

pressure zones helped in revision of casing points.

Prepared mud log, composite logs, daily reports and end of well reports.
