Career Objective

Seeking a Process Engineering position with an Oil & Gas Facilities Design Organization where I shall
utilize My Skills, Experience & Education to become a Process Technologist for Oil & Gas Processing
Plants. I plan to lead a team of engineers on various Oil and Gas Processing Plant and Licensed
Technologies assignments. I wish to Publish the Technical Articles related to Oil and Gas Processing in
future.

Personal Skills and Achievements

During the Pre-FEED Stage study for CO2 Recovery from Acid Gas, to re-inject CO2 into Wells for EOR,
Gasco Abu Dhabi Habshan-5 field, CO2 FEED composition was 29 mol% in Acid Gas, Upon evaluation
of various conventional CO2 Recovery technology was having much higher OPEX and CAPEX, however,
I carried out feasibility study with the goal of minimizing Amine Reboiler duty and Amine circulation rates
with the optimization of Amine system with the help of Promax Simulation tool and in depth literature
survey. This study resulted in about 5 million USD of cost saving per year. I identified Cost savings at
early stage of Project execution. Hence, the overall cost of the Project has been reduced based on
technical and economical merits.
During the ADMA-OPCO Abu Dhabi Flare revamp Study, I carried out Dynamic Simulation of Flare
Network. As per the Plant philosophy, it was necessary to shut-down the Oil & Gas facility upon tripping
of Gas Compressor, however, upon Study of Dynamic Simulation with proper adjustment of flaring Valves
opening time correctly and staggered flaring philosophy we were able to achieve successful flaring of gas
without requirement of Plant Shutdown with pressure surges still within the limits. This resulted in Huge
cost savings for the Company. This study was completed within the allocated budget for the Company.
During the Concept Stage Upgrade study of Khafji Desalting Facilities for Client KJO, I guided Process
engineers to carry out Simulation and Optimization of Plant Configuration. This was crude with very high
emulsion viscosity. The Heat Exchanger Configuration was found to be very expensive in order to heat
the crude to certain temperature. However, with the accurate study of Chemical Injection in to the Crude
and various Heat exchanger configurations, we were able to reduce the CAPEX and OPEX to much
greater extent.

During My Post Graduate Study for Masters in Business Administration, My Dissertation work was
dedicated to Business Opportunities in Unconventional Energy Sources. In this work, I carried out
Business valuation of various Oil field services Companies active in Shale Gas Business, Market Growth
Segments, Financial Analysis, M & A drivers and Potential Acquisition Targets. This study helps Oil field
Services Organization to look into potential acquisition targets and tune their Business Strategy.
