PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Reservoir Engineer

PTTEP Plc. (Thai National Oil Company)

2009 – Present

Key Responsibilities

Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) advisor.

Raised EUR of heterogenous multi-layers oil reservoir by 23% using chemical flooding. Enhanced biodegraded medium-heavy crude Expected Ultimate Recovery (EUR) by 25% by implementing microbial EOR.

Led tight gas sand appraisal project.

Initiated and led a multidisciplinary team on PTTEP’s first tight sand appraisal project, achieved target time and under budget.

Formulated field development plan of Malaysia-Thailand joint development area.

Cooperated with multiple stakeholders to settled the field development plan of the controversial high-pressure high-temperature high-CO2 offshore gas field.

Monitored and enhanced well performance of onshore oil and offshore gas assets.

Boosted production of a mature oil area by 43% in 2 years by hunting bypassed layers and unswept areas. Doubled water injection capacity in 2 years by analyzing well damage causes and remedying accordingly.

Monitored drilling operations and supervised well testing of exploration and development projects.

Acquired production license based on the results of planned exploration well and well testing. The operation overcame the operation challenges by pre-assessed mitigation plans.

Pioneered multiple artificial intelligence (AI) and dashboard projects.

Recognized as PTTEP’s 2019 Knowledge Management Expert in AI. Slashed cost by 3.5 million US dollars in 5 years and 40 – 80 person-hour per month by developing log synthetic and gas flow rate estimation AI models. Expedited well remedial actions from weeks to a few days by a well performance monitoring dashboard.
