Design analytical wellbore thermal models based on high-resolution downhole distributed temperature data (Pro-Log). Novel models provide robust information on production profiles, injection profiles, water-cut, GOR during DST's and long-term completion monitoring. Build Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models to test novel analytical models. Write concise technical reports for major oil and gas operators and present findings from the temperature data; zonal flow rate allocations, indications of cross-flow between zones, flow behind liner, reservoir depletion, water/ gas breakthrough etc. Present work at international conferences and publish work in industry journals.

Managed the highest revenue within department year-on-year through highly effective client engagement and collaboration.Bringing my experience gained from the field I am primarily responsible for cased hole log analysis including cement bond log interpretation, casing integrity studies, production logging, leak detection and pulsed neutron (Sigma, Carbon-Oxygen and Gas Saturation).I adopt a collaborative approach to all projects, engaging with clients from the outset to ensure all objectives are met. Heavily involved at present in multiple large scale Plug and Abandonment projects where robust and timely cement evaluation is key to the success of the project. Presenting data and results to clients is an important part of my role and being able to distill highly technical information into something that is easily understood is a vital skill. I am constantly looking to improve my presentation/ public speaking skills and have undertaken several courses to this end.I recently presented an informative talk to the Aberdeen Formation Evaluation Society (AFES) on "Injection water flow mapping in complex completions using integrated pulsed neutron and production logging techniques, a case study". I also initiated a Cased Hole Log Interpretation half-day school that is designed to give clients (and potential clients) a more in-depth understanding of the work we do and increases their understanding of the subject. It is also an opportunity to engage with their specific needs and to offer tailored solutions.

As a Wireline Field Engineer, my role was to acquire petrophysical data through the use of logging equipment on a customer’s location. Responsible for the pre-job planning, job execution, post-job analysis and overall performance of company assets on location. Living and working at a wellsite means the conditions are often extreme and the job is high pressure.

After graduating with a MEng in Aero-Mechanical Engineering from the University of Strathclyde I undertook a four month placement with TUV NEL in order to study and produce an evaluation of the uncertainty in the multiphase facility.Within very tight time constraints I produced a comprehensive uncertainty budget for the facility which is still the foundation of the uncertainty measurements in the facility. To complete this project I had to define the relationship between all the inputs to the multiphase flow measurement, list the factors that contribute to the uncertainty in that input, estimate the magnitude of the uncertainty, estimate the effect that each input has on the measurement result, combine all the input uncertainties in the final result and finally express the overall uncertainty as an interval about the measured value within which the true value is expected to lie with the required level of confidence. I developed a robust, user-friendly Excel program that allowed users to update the uncertainty measurements in future due to replacement of the measurement equipment.

Dunstable

Placement with the UK’s leading wind engineering consultancy company. Responsible for the calibration of a wide range of pressure probes used in the wind tunnel. These probes and the calibration factors that I calculated were subsequently used in a major project. Working closely with another project engineer I was responsible for assessing the galloping potential of a pair of towers in a petrochemical plant. My analysis was used in the final report to the client. I also gained extensive practical experience in the wind tunnel. I gained invaluable experience in terms of working as part of a dynamic team in various engineering disciplines.

Master Of Engineering (Meng), Aero-Mechanical Engineering

Master’s degree from one of the leading engineering faculties in the country where I studied a broad range of mechanical engineering.
