Summary

A skilled Petrophysicist, with more than twelve years of experience in the oil & energy industry. Carry proficiency in single and multi-well petrophysics, core-log integration, log data processing and interpretation of basic and advanced logs. I have strong operational understanding of logging tool physics across all service vendors, open and cased hole, wireline and LWD. Proficient in acoustic and image log data processing and interpretation. Well versed with downhole pressure and fluid analysis for estimation of fluid contacts, routine and special core analysis. A team player and experienced in saturation height modelling, geomechanics and rock physics modelling. Well informed with the latest logging technology and leading Petrophysical Softwares in the market with proficiency in Geolog and Techlog. A highly self-motivated, research oriented, enthusiastic individual having excellent interpersonal and communication skills. I do enjoy mentoring the younger professionals.
