• HESS: Bakken Shale (Unconventional); Production Evaluation of Micro proppant completion involving parent child synergy. The project covers multi pad wells with production comparison to non-micro proppant wells pad. Average production improvement of 12% was observed over period of 300+ days
• SABINE O&G: Haynesville Shale (Unconventional); Drilling data analysis to generate Mechanical Specific Energy (MSE). The MSE model, hydraulic fracture model coupled with wells production used to predict wells future performance. Optimum net present value (NPV) model was developed. The project involved 6 subject matter experts and resulted into $1.2 million saving for client
• CARBO: Business analytics using Spotfire for corelating drilling, completion, and production. Mapping & analyzing of 1500+ horizontal wells in US. The work helped company understand shifting dynamics of E&P
• MANTI TARKA: Wolfcamp B (Conventional); Fracture Driven Interaction (FDI) analysis performed for multiple wells real-time. Deterrent technique (establish by the client) was activated to minimize fracture hit negative impact. Passive wells production was established at pre-shut down level after the project. This was a runaway success.

reservoir engineering consultant, carbo

• RICE ENGY, CNX RES, ASCENT RES, GULFPORT ENGY, EQT, MONTAGE ENGY: Point Pleasant & Trenton Lime (Unconventional); 24+ wells production history match. After production forecasting and sensitivity analysis, strategies for completion cost saving, production management, optimized net present value or return on investment was developed. Average recommendation increased NPV by 5% (5years) 
• BP: Eagleford (Unconventional); Production forecasting of a well pad with novel completion product. Completion cost increased to $0.7 million, 5year Oil recovery forecast suggests 2-3% increase
• LAREDO ENGY: Eagleford & Austin Chalk (Unconventional); Performed production history match on 8+ wells. Recommended strategy to mitigate commingled production issue. The suggested implementation increased the completion cost by $ 80,000 - $100,000. Payout period reduce from 5.0 to 3.5 years
• EQT: Point Pleasant (Unconventional); Production forecast for new asset development, optimize the capital layout plan by utilizing public (Enverus) production data. Develop guideline for well completion cost ranging $3.5 - $4.0 million

Jan 2012 – May 2012

reservoir engineering contractor, stat oil

• Bakken (Unconventional); He was assigned populating completion data, developing business analytics of Brigham Bakken shale Asset (Bought by Stat Oil) using wells production. He led 3 personal team for project execution

Apr 2011 – Dec 2011

reservoir engineering contractor, marathon oil

• Eagleford & Austin Chalk (Unconventional); Mr Shah was tasked with populating completion data, developing business analytics of Hilcorp Eagleford Asset (Bought by Marathon Oil) and well production. The business integration happened over 12 - 15 months period with team of 20+ personal

Jan 2009 – Mar 2011

staff reservoir engineer, carbo

• FRACTECK: Barnett (Unconventional); Serve as defendant in US court to our client case. We worked with 4 lawyers and 12 company personal. The result was in favor of our client with them gaining access to their oil wells
• Argentina (Conventional) & Bakken Shale (Unconventional): Generated detail Pore (reservoir) Pressure and fracture closure isopach (GIS) model. The developed model was used for infill drilling, Hy-grading drilling locations. The model resulted into 2 additional wells drilled per study area.
• Granite Wash & Red River (Conventional): Generated Type Curve by performing Decline Curve Analysis (DCA) for more than 30 wells. These type curves were utilized for financial modelling and optimizing capital layout. Type curves resulted into cost saving of $50,000 per well
• OASIS PTRL: Bakken Shale (Unconventional); Diagnostic Fracture Injection Test (DFIT) analysis for 12+ wells. The work resulted into rigorous reservoir characterization and targeted strategic completions

Feb 2008 – Dec 2008

staff reservoir engineer, pinnacle technologies

• DEVON ENGY: Barnett Shale (Unconventional): Integration of Microseismic with Hydraulic Fracturing. Developing Stimulated Reservoir Volume (SRV) and co-relate with production for optimizing next completion
• SWN: James Lime (Conventional); Performed production history match of 6 wells using reservoir simulator (IMEX). EUR Estimation resulted into oil recovery of about 8%
