--Development of Three phase Black Oil Fully Implicit Reservoir Simulator with MATLAB under Dr. Turgay Ertekin.--Coursework on Chemical Oil Recovery (low salinity, polymer, surfactant and ASP flooding) for conventional reservoirs with Dr. Russell Taylor Johns.

Worked on the machine learning models to predict reservoir performance in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico oilfields. Applied K-means clustering and PCA for differentiating good producers from bad producers.

• Responsible for technical bid evaluation of vendors for reservoir operations job viz. PVT sampling services, special core analysis services, Deepwater well test services. • Ensured good quality reservoir data acquisition (Formation pressure & Bottom-hole fluid sampling) during wireline formation testing of various deepwater discoveries. • Responsible for data analysis from formation testing jobs. Involved in team for optimization of data acquisition plans of highly prosperous deepwater satellite field in KG-D6- DWN 98/3 block. • Worked with a team of geologists, petro physicists and drillers to design and execute wireline formation testing, Drill stem testing and workover (water shut-off) jobs in Deepwater wells. • Formulated Deepwater/on land well test design & flow program for gas/condensate/oil wells and ensured correct interpretation of pressure transient analysis to determine permeability, skin, drainage areas and OOIP.• Prepared a detailed coring program for core analysis (RCA/SCAL) of core plugs in Deepwater gas condensate fields. • Directed PVT fluid experimental program for reservoir fluid samples and developed gas condensate EOS model for exporting to reservoir simulator.
