SUMMARY
Analytics enthusiast with more than five years of solid experience in stochastic Bayesian modeling, well
control and well placement optimization, machine learning and physics-based simulation and real-world
data analysis. Demonstrated skills in uncertainty quantification, pattern recognition, distributed
computation for artificial intelligence and learning systems. The results of my work have been reported
in more than 5 journals/conferences.
PROJECTS
Oil Production Forecast: Automated physics based oil production forecasting algorithms for
unconventional/conventional reservoirs. Developed using python programming language. Data of
more than 10,000 wells across US were managed using MYSQL.
Optimum Field Facilities: Designing optimum surface and subsurface field facilities for a heavy oil
reservoir stimulated with steam injection and underground combustion.
Optimization Package: Optimization of well control and well placement using Quasi Newton and
SPSA algorithms.
Seismic Data Assimilation: Seismicity based reservoir characterization of KTB field, Germany with
Ensemble Kalman Filtering (EnKF).
