• Strong experience in gas reservoir engineering such as gas reservoir characterization, development plan, simulation, performance analysis, gas storage and gas injection.
• Monitored reservoir performance of a CO2 and hydrocarbon miscible flood projects. Reviewed and analyzed production data and determined gas, oil and water movement. Optimized perforation intervals and mitigated gas and water coning problems.
• Analyzed reservoir performance in water flood fields. Determined remaining reserves by decline curve analysis. Recommended producer/injector conversions.
• Conducted to estimate the volume of hydrocarbons in place, recoverable reserves and well production potential forecast which involved in analysis and application of the rock and fluid properties, well characteristics, recovery mechanisms, material balance and fluid flow equation, well performance, decline curve analysis, productivity tests and uncertainties analysis.
• Responsible for on-sites oil and gas production operation, built up tests, integrated reservoir characterization, formation evaluation, monitoring of water flood processes and improved well productivity by implementing appropriate stimulation techniques.
• Conducted fluid phase behavior and special core flood experiments include the hands on fluid PVT, slim tube, hydrate, solid deposition and special core analysis.
