- Monitored production wells, managed large-scale database (production volumes, performance KPI’s, reserves, budget), successfully identified opportunities for production optimization (including artificial lift optimization)

- Performed comprehensive technical and economic evaluations (completions, reservoir volumes, reserves, well performance diagnostics); advised best reservoir management, optimization, and development strategies

- Provided reservoir engineering support for producing wells, as well as recompletion and workover candidates by assessing productivity, quantifying potential uplift, skin damage via Pressure Transient Analysis (PTA) and economic evaluation Petroleum Engineer - ODSI, Houston, TX Jul 2015 – Jan 2020

- Developed, implemented, and tested digital solutions for producing wells such as Virtual Metering, automated real-time performance/KPI surveillance, automated Gas Lift Optimization, continuously optimized and documented the workflows

- Monitored production wells, provided engineering support for producing wells on best operating strategies

- Successfully optimized base production by conducting well reviews and identifying stimulation and workover candidates, quantifying skin damage, its origins and suggesting remedial chemical treatments

- Performed comprehensive cross-discipline technical and economic reservoir evaluations, including volumetrics, economics, reserves (EUR), well performance and completion diagnostics and production optimization

- Designed, managed, and evaluated flowbacks and well tests for development and exploitation wells

- Optimized production by 43% on a 25-well field by conducting Production and Gas Lift Optimization study Petroleum Engineer (Intern), ODSI, Houston, TX Nov 2014 – May 2015

- Evaluated completions, conducted reservoir characterization and diagnostics by utilizing PTA/RTA and Nodal Analysis

- Performed reservoir volumes and reserves evaluations by utilizing Volumetrics, Material Balance, DCA, and other engineering and data-driven methods

- Built well models (QA/QC wellbore diagrams, characterized and simulated reservoir PVT, analyzed well log data) OTHER RELEVANT WORK EXPERIENCE Drilling and Completions Lab Teaching Assistant, University of Houston Spring 2015 Integrating Geology & Geoscience Interpretation Engineer (Intern), Weatherford, Kazakhstan Summer 2014 Reservoir Petrophysics Lab Teaching Assistant, University of Houston Fall 2014 EDUCATION Dartmouth College - Thayer School of Engineering April 2021 Professional Certificate in Applied Data Science
