WORK EXPERIENCE

In Transition,The Pennsylvania State University

Researcher

January 2013 - present

PA, USA

Currently I am working on multiple upstream projects in unconventional and conventional oil and gas

reservoirs such as:

Analyzing databased networks and data management to predict wells production optimization from

various operation sites in Marcellus and Utica Shale

Hydraulic fracturing design optimization with a focus on developing industry reviews, financial

analyses and NPV based estimations

Perform economic evaluation of well stimulations using ARIES production forecasting tool to satisfy

client research needs in commercial and financial aspects of the energy

Building highly efficient tools which can be used for better understanding the trends and factors

involved in infill drilling and reservoir management.
