Experience

  • Well Site Operations and Geopressure Analysis of Saraswathi Field
    Cairn Oil and Gas, Vedanta Limited · BARMER, RAJASTHAN
    May 2023 – Jul 2023

    Studied rig components, drilling operations, data acquisition and sampling through rig-site visit. Performed gas-ratio analysis to interpret hydrocarbon type in the zone of interest. Developed pore-pressure model for Saraswathi Field using 7-well data and Eaton’s method. Defined mud-weight window and pore-pressure trends across subsurface formations. Developed a geomechanical model using rock-strength parameters and poro-elastic strain equations to identify fault regimes.
