Senior Production Technologist | 35+ Years Experience | AI/ML, Integrated Asset Modelling, Oil & Gas

Who I Am

I am a Senior Production Technologist and AI/ML Solutions Architect with 35+ years of hands-on experience in the oil and gas industry — from managing offshore platform operations on one of India's largest fields to building machine learning software that predicts equipment failures before they happen.

I don't just consult — I build. My proprietary Python-based ML tools for ESP and SRP failure prediction are actively preventing costly downtime for operators in Oman today.

What I Bring

• Integrated Asset Modelling across 300+ well fields for PDO, Petronas, ONGC, and multinational E&P operators
• Digital Twin development — from greenfield design to live production monitoring
• AI/ML pipelines using Python, XGBoost, CatBoost, LSTM, and Transformers applied to real oilfield data
• Flow Assurance & Process Engineering — FEED studies, HAZOP reviews, pipeline network analysis
• Team leadership — built and managed teams of up to 20 engineers across India and the Middle East

My Track Record

Over 35 years spanning ONGC, Weatherford, Senergy, Xodus Group, and independent consulting, I have delivered measurable production uplift for operators across 10+ countries — Oman, India, Nigeria, Malaysia, Indonesia, Georgia, and Kuwait.

At PDO's Saih Rawl Gas Station, I modelled a 5-field, 300+ well network and identified surface bottlenecks that directly increased production. At PDO's Musallim field, I delivered a live Integrated Production Model covering 150+ ESP wells.

What I'm Looking For

I thrive at the intersection of deep engineering expertise and modern data science. Whether leading an asset modelling team, architecting an AI-driven production optimisation platform, or consulting on complex artificial lift challenges, I bring the rare combination of field experience and technical innovation that moves the needle.
