PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

Domain Expert in Exploration /Development Management of Domestic (NELP) block as well as Global bid (OVL) evaluation job.

Proactive Planner with strong Geological Conceptualization acumen for Oil/Gas Field Discovery predictive skill.

Exceptional Mentor, Inspiring Leader& Trainer per excellence; created several growth centers not only in O.N.G.C. but to propel the growth of Upstream E&P Industry as a whole , acted as a nodal bridge between Industry & academia.

Worked as the Exploration Incharge (Block Manager) for Assam-Arakan Fold-Belt/occasional officiated as Basin Manager (Unit Head) for Assam Basin (Oldest Oil producing basin of N. E. India) and M.B.A. Basin (a multi basin complex with vast expanse & huge resource potential).

Global/Domestic exposure for Basin Analysis & Prospect Evaluation job (Total10 project Reports) for almost all Types of Basins of India & analogous Basins of the world. In the case of Two Basins (Proterozoic Interior sag & Interior Rift) Oil/Gas prospect as predicted, became true subsequently.

Deputed for Work association job assignment at Western Geophysical co., Singapore for Processing of quality Seismic Data of Bengal Basin & Tripura; resulting in discovery of Agartala Dome Gas Field, in challenging Fold-Belt area of N. E. India. This quality seismic data is adding value to delineation/development work.

As a Team lead, guided 6 years, several teams for Operational Geological as well as Exploration and Production & Development Geological (P. & D.G.) job resulting in 6 Gas wells discovery & doubling the Reserve Base for Tripura Fold belt.

Efficiently supervised integrated interpretation team at Chennai for N.E.L.P. Docket preparation (awarded project), Prospect Evaluation around Mattur, Vadateru-Neduvasal &Tulsapatnam areas (leading to discovery of Tulsapatnam oil field). Reserve Estimation for new/old (Re-estimation) Oil /Gas Fields of Cauvery & K.G. Basin, resulting in substantial Enhancement of Reserve base & production making a turn around for this Basin.

Effectively Assisted in Bid-evaluation work for a producing block in Russia.

Sick Well Analysis & Production Enhancement Planning for Cauvery Basin, given a tremendous boost in profit. Effectively acted as a change Agent for Revamping of O.N.G.C. to Maharatna Co.,through O.T.P.C. by Mac. Kinsey &Co., U.K. As Chief Geologist mentored 5 Team (for 11 projects.) as a Group Head of Reservoir Delineation Group to provide R & D Support to almost all Basins/Assets of India. Completed R&D Project Reports on Reservoir Modeling & Re-evaluation of 11 Fields (Oil & Gas) resulting in substantial Field Growth &Production enhancement in all 11 Fields spanning whole of India, propelling Profit/growth of this great E&P Co.As Deputy General Manager Geology, managed 5 groups of multidisciplinary team for R & D Support to K.G. Basin, Deep Water Areas & Assets through Integrated Basin R& D support on Sequence/Play Analysis, Prospect Evaluation, Proposals/Review of Quality of Exploratory/Development locations etc. resulting in transforming this area to second largest producing offshore exploratory area in India with substantial growth potential.As a nominated domain specialist Assessed/Reviewed reserve estimate of deep-water blocks of Cairn Energy during acquisition by ONGC which has given tremendous profit to the co. Deputed to O.V.L. as a Domain Expert in 2 occasions, for leading a team to carry out Bid Evaluation Job of 4 Exploratory Blocks & 1 Development Block of Indonesia.As an Exploration (Block) Manager (D.G.M. /G. M. Geology) effectively Managed several acreage teams of A .A .F. B. ,for almost 3 fold Reserve Growth, 7 significant gas field/pool Discoveries(Khubal, Tulamura, Hortoki, Pathimara, South Gojalia, Agartala Dome West flank, North Baramura), substantial increase in P. M. L. / Production Potential which enabled the Co. to make 3 fold reserve base for starting the 1st Phase of Asias biggest GAS Power Plant & a new Fertilizer Plant at Tripura establishing this Fold- Belt area as an Emerging Big GAS province. Received several Awards & Published papers on these case history jobs.As General Manager Geology Guided the team of Geoscientists for effective Bid Monitoring activities of M. B. A. Basin, from planning to Monitoring to execution of Exploration related activities resulting in Enhancing Reserve base & Strengthening of D. O. C. for 2 Blocks of Mahanadi Basin . Acted as Exploration Head (Basin Manager) several times for this vast, huge resource prone Basin. Submitted a Status Report on all N. E. L. P. acreages.Invited as a guest Examiner/Guide/Speaker/ Lecturer & Presented/Published several Papers on National & International Journals, seminars/symposiums, on Basin/Play/Sequence Analysis & Prospect Evaluation, Structure/ Tectonics & as Case histories on Reservoir Delineation.Guided several Post Graduate research scholars of ISM, IIT & Different Universities, for their M.Sc. thesis works as well as Ph.D. work.Acted as a Guest Faculty in Training Institutes & presently employed as an Adjunct/ Guest Faculty to teach post graduate students of Presidency University as well as invited to teach Petroleum Geology to post graduate students of Kolkata-University.Attended several national/international seminars/ symposiums as an active participant to enhance/exchange knowledge base for enhancing global hydrocarbon hunt to bridge demand supply gap of India.Presently working as a Consultant/ Mentor to assist in generating more Oil/Gas discoverers for this energy hungry developing nation to join the league of Developed Nation.
