Responsible for reservoir engineering support to one of the Tanzania blocks. Tasks include:
 Lead the reservoir engineering support for Field Development Planning process
 Lead reservoir engineering support for concept selection of multibillion dollars LNG project
 Design and implement workflow to capture subsurface uncertainty and economic dimension
within decision making of concept selection and optimization
 Perform reservoir simulation studies to address reserves, well count, well type, and wells
location
 Develop uncertainty and sensitivity workflows to assist probabilistic reserves estimation
 Design, witness, and interpret of welltests
 Responsible for reservoir engineering contribution to the business planning process
 Participate in reserve booking process under the SPE PRMS rules
 Coach and mentor graduate engineers, assign tasks and provide feedback
Reservoir Engineer- BG Group (UK) November2012–October 2013
 Tested new reservoir simulators with higher performance and less cost, and provided feedback
for top management
 Created conceptual models for the assets to test different development concepts
 Quantified the effects of rock and fluid properties on point probe formation pressure
measurements; a numerical simulator was used to perform the study. Presented the results of
the project in a paper and presented at the 55th SPWLA symposium at Abu Dhabi
