EXPERIENCE

2009-Present PhD Thesis, “Multi-scale modeling of inertial flow through porous media” under supervision of Dr. Mayank

Tyagi, LSU

• Objective: develop and validate a meaningful inertial flow model for different types of porous media

• Investigated the permeability and Beta-factor change of proppant packs under stress

• Simulated flow of single phase flow through pore-scale samples of dolomite, limestone, and sandstone in order to

determine their properties such as permeability, porosity and beta factor

Jan-Aug 2007 Internship at TOTAL Oil Company, Pau, France,

• Modeled and simulated heavy oil recovery through Vapor Extraction (VAPEX) process and derived a formula for

predicting flow of heavy oil based on the simulation results

• Contributed in PVT analysis of a heavy oil (bitumen) sample provided by TOTAL

Spring 2006 Brent North East oil field simulation (Reservoir Management Project), IFP

• Built a reservoir model based on the geological and lithological information

• Investigated different configurations of wells (types and locations) to find the most efficient reservoir

management after doing economical consideration

• Simulated gas and water injection to Brent North East Oil Field

Spring 2006 Gas lift design project on real well data of North East oil field wells, IFP

• Considered different configurations of gas lift assembly using PROSPER package

Nov. 2007 Schlumberger Training Program, PUT

• Compositional reservoir simulation using ECLIPSE
