-Senior Staff Geologist in the Eagle Ford shale asset. Worked on approving well plans on pads, picking landing point, geosteering wells in the lateral, preparing end of well reports and implementing geological learnings on furture development. Mentored new professionals in real time operations geology in shale plays. -Worked on building a field scale geological model of the Eagle Ford and integrated multidisciplinary data into the model to understand heterogeneity in shale geology and its impact on recoverable reserves and future development scenarios.

Area coordinator for the Haynesville Shale gas Operations.-Coordinated the South Haynesville single and multi well pad development in the Haynesville and Mid Bossier Shale play. Worked with multidisciplinary subsurface team to ensure that Geological well planning and geosteering operations of horizontal wells are on target, completed on time safely and on budget.

-Production Geologist working on tight gas capability building in P&T Bangalore and lending tight gas experience to Shell projects in Kirthar field, Pakistan and Sichuan Basin, China.-Geologist working on global exploration scoping and identification of previously undeveloped oil and gas fields (non-commercial/ unconventional ) that could be developed present day due to technological advancements in the industry.

Interpreted reservoir scale subsurface uncertainties in exploration and appraisal field located in a shallow marine deltaic environment. Successfully coordinated and lead two intergrated modeling reviews based on subsurface work done on Sivulliq 2D and 3D seismic data.

Updated the Erha Static model with development data from 11 new wells. Calculated expectation and proven reserves for the Erha field for the 2006 reserves audit. Interpreted turbidite facies from well log signatures and applied the interpretation to the facies based property modeling workflow in petrel. Participated and interacted in partner meetings with Exxon Mobil to discuss well locations and well results.

Proposed and executed 16 successful development gas wells EUR per well was about 2.5 BCF.Interpreted and mapped horizons and faults using 3D seismic data. Interpreted and correlated well logs, structure, stratigraphy, and production information. Identified drilling locations in fault blocks with undepleted reservoirs. Performed post-drill analysis of wells. Interacted with multidisciplinary team of geophysicist, petrophysicist, drilling, completion, reservoir and production engineers.Managed non-technical field related issues, participated and lead lease reviews, interacted with regulatory team on field rules and worked with partners on well locations. Assisted in evaluation of three M&A projects including the Total assets that Shell successfully acquired and developed.

Mapped the top of salt in the Alaminos Canyon of the Deep water Gulf of Mexico. Enhanced and improved an existing geological structure map of top of salt for entire deep water GOM and created an isopach map of salt.
