Chief Geologist at PPL
  • Pakistan - Karachi
  • My current job since December 2017

As a Geologist in the Reservoir Modelling Department, my responsibilities include:
• Evaluating, characterizing, and managing oil and gas carbonate and clastic reservoirs.
• Developing 3D static models of oil and gas fields using Petrel software for integrated reservoir studies, collaborating with geophysicists, petrophysicists, and reservoir engineers.
• Formulating field development plans and devising production optimization strategies.
• Identifying and proposing new well locations based on G&G data and reservoir models.
• Conducting petrophysical interpretation to better understand reservoir properties.
• Providing technical support during approval processes for internal peer reviews and partners (JV workshops and technical committee meetings).
• Planning infill wells and sidetrack wells, including the preparation of deviation, logging, coring, perforations, and expendable screens-packer positions.
• Supervising and mentoring trainees and junior geoscientists in their professional growth.
