Presented a Thesis Dissertation – “Characterization of Bluejacket and Warner Heavy Oil Reservoirs
(shallow heavy oil reservoirs located in Missouri-Kansas region) at pore level” as part of DOE Project.
 Analyzed Well Logs and Core data to subdivide the formations into flow units on the basis of
porosity and permeability variations
 Performed X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) experiments to analyze the
mineral and clay content in every flow unit.
 Examined Thin-Section images to study petrography of all the flow units– determination of the


texture, sorting, fabric, and porosity of the primary, secondary, and fracture types, as well
as the relative abundance of the detrital and authigenic minerals.
Performed characterization of pore space using images and ATLAS (Digital Microscopy
Imaging) software– measurement of porosity, pore size, shape, specific surface, and poreshape distribution. Determination of pore type distribution by volume percentage.

PROJECTS
Developing a comprehensive Waterflooding software program using Visual Basic 6.0 - It involves
calculation of oil recovery for piston type and Buckley Leverett type displacements considering both
linear and pattern flow using Craig’s model and also Streamtube model. It also features Vertical
Displacement in linear and areal models. It is also planned to integrate the boundary effect with the
wellbore flow by using Boundary Element Method
Developed Inflow Performance Curve software using Visual Basic 6.0 – It’s a basic program that
includes theoretical and various Fields methods to determine the flow rates at different drawdown
pressures and to generate IPR curves
Well Log Interpretation - Evaluated subsurface geological formations, identified Net Pay zones and
calculated total amount of OIP using QLA software used by Schlumberger
Drilling and Well Completions - Submitted Technical Papers on “Coiled Tubing Deployed
Microdrilling” and “Underbalanced Drilling-Opportunities & Challenges”
3-D Seismic Interpretation - Covered Data Importation, Faults & Horizons interpretation and finally
prediction for stratigrafic traps using Kingdom Suite 7.1 software
Effect of Stress on Fractured Rock - Examined the data obtained from the experiment performed
in the Colorado School of Mines Experimental Mine on a rock block for changes in the
fracture properties and the rock mass due to change in the load
Advanced Well Log Interpretation - Presented Technical Paper titled “Log Analysis of Fractured
Reservoirs” covering the estimation of fracture parameters & calculation of OOIP
