Salient features

1 Over 3 decades of industry experience

2 Degree of PhD in Chemistry with part of research work on Surfactants

3 Exposure to all the positions in fluid engineering in various capacities – be it E&P company, service provider or a drilling contractor

4 Both field and office based experience

5 Comfortable with all types of nationality people to work with

6 Prepared to relocate

7 Moderate travelling is no issue

8 A team player

9 Ability to think out of box

10 Comfortable with all types of mud systems

11 Good command over drilling fluid engineering aspects be it – CBM drilling, shale gas drilling, deep / ultra deep water drilling exploratory / development drilling, OHGP/CHFP/well-bore clean up/ completion brine /packer fluid

12 Deep water cementing slurry design

13 Designed innovative solids free cementing spacers for effective hole cleaning/ mud removal

14 Invented a new base oil from the by-product of LAB ( Linear Alkyl Benzene) manufacturing process, starting from Kerosene

15 Presented a technical paper in IADC/SPE meet in India Mumbai session on designer mud formulation for formation strengthening.(Details upon request)

16 Adequate exposure to latest generation deep drilling rigs

17 I was instrumental in devising innovative surface treatment facility as well as selection of right type and dose of H2S scavenger to treat the crude oil on rig itself during well testing to bring down the dissolved hydrogen sulphide to below < 20 ppm to facilitate the transportation of crude oil by road tankers and not only generate revenue but also save from the hassle of otherwise removing the crude oil from flow pit at the conclusion of well test operations.

18 Equally comfortable and competent in managing / solving any type of well-bore related complication which can be overcome by mud / cement / brine.

19 Targeting the project cost and not the cost of barrel of mud.

20 Recently I have also been a member of team who has successfully drilled several CBM locations using UBD technique and then hydro-fracturing the producing zones for exploitation of methane reserves

Apart from the academic qualifications mentioned in the table, I have also acquired the certificate of a Lead Auditor from an ISO institute of International reputation. In addition to this, I have completed the Diploma course in TQM and ISO 9000 certification.

I had carried out research work on surfactants and dyes, by virtue of which I have in depth knowledge of surfactants which helps me greatly in deriving maximum advantage from the application of surfactants. More details of research work can be shared upon request.

My academic and inquisitive approach towards my profession is also reflected in my management and engineering traits, where in I have successfully found solutions to drilling fluid related problems by unconventional, out of box and holistic thinking.

Details of experience in Oil field

Period March 2002 to till date

Presently I am associated with the biggest private oil and Gas Company in India as “Team leader of drilling fluids group and am instrumental in managing the off-shore as well as on-shore operations of drilling fluids, including mud and cement. The responsibilities include writing technical well mud programmes, monitoring the mud engineering operations of the off shore deep water as well as shallow water rigs, managing the contract administering the activities of Service provider/s with-in the frame work of agreed conditions of contract, writing technical scope of work for inviting bids from vendors, evaluation of received bids, QC monitoring of mud chemicals, cementing chemicals including dry cement powder, cement slurry design optimization, keeping pace with the advancement in technology in the area of mud engineering in particular and E&P activities in general. I am one of the team members of a group of professionals who are responsible for making the biggest gas discovery in 2002. My special interest has been in exploring better suited products to improve the overall deliverability of the fluids. I also have to my credit the honour of being the team leader of drilling fluids group who has safely, successfuly and timely completed the drilling of an ultra deep water exploratory well in deepest water depth in the world. I have also gained in-depth understanding of air drilling in coal bed methane fields and hydro fracturing operations along with monitoring of quality of produced water prior to its safe disposal.

For the last decade I am mainly involved in deep water mud engineering operations be it exploratory, development or completion (OPEN HOLE GRAVEL PACK, CASED HOLE FRAC PACK, running screens in open hole etc.). During this period I have also positively contributed in deep water cementing with special emphasis on light weight slurries for shallow casing jobs which are prone to shallow water flow. I have also designed special slurries with low heat of hydration for placing the cement against hydrate zone.

I have developed special interest in optimizing the slurry and spacer design for improvisation in quality of cement job in deep water environment while drilling with synthetic oil based mud. I provide useful input in conjunction with the cementing service provider for improving the quality of cement slurry and have also developed insight in the quality control of Cement powder also to derive the best out of all the components of the slurry design. I had also been instrumental in designing special Pill of surfactant to free the stuck pipe in SOBM environment.

Period 2000 to 2002

During this period I had worked for Baker Hughes as consultant mud engineer and rendered my services as lead engineer on deep water wells drilled by Cairn energy in East coast locations in India which led to discovery of first deep water gas field in India in 200 / 2001. Apart from field assignment I had also assisted the office staff in preparing bid for fetching the deep water drilling fluids contract. Inventory management logistics planning were some other roles which I played during the same tenure.

Period 1996 to 2000

During this period I have performed the duty of field mud engineer in Muscat Oman for the company “Essar Oil Limited” who has drilled wells on land locations in various promising fields of South as well as North Oman on contractual basis for the national oil company “Petroleum development Oman”. The responsibilities include complete supervision of mud engineering activities in individual capacity to deliver the best service to drilling group enabling them to drill and complete the well in shortest possible time.

Period 1980 to 1996

During this period I have performed the duties of the Mud Chemist with the national oil company of India, known as ONGC Ltd. During this period I got four promotions and two merit awards for my exemplary and cost-effective mud service in three major producing field of India. They are Gujarat, Assam and Bombay Off-shore.

Period 1978 to 1980 (Experience other than oil field)

Before joining oil field in 1980 I have also worked for the Dept. of Atomic Energy of the Govt. of India from 1978 to 1980 as laboratory foreman. My duties included the Quality control analyses of water samples, intermediate purity range analyses of Heavy Water and final QC analysis of nuclear grade heavy Water, used in Nuclear reactors as a moderator.

MISCELLENEOUS USEFUL INFORMATION

I enjoy good health and am a long distance marathon runner

I am very passionate about keeping myself up to speed on advancement in drilling fluids field

I hold valid multiple entry travel visa for USA up to year 2016.
