Biography

After over sixteen years of experiences and achievements in teaching and research in Petroleum Engineering field, I desire to seek more for deep knowledge and profound hand-on skills in research into advanced level of research in Reservoir and Production Engineering for unconventional resources. With all my unquenchable thirst for more knowledge in the academia of the profession and my strength to synergies expertise with clear proven outcome in Enhanced Oil and Gas Recovery, Flow Assurance and Flow Phenomena in Pipe, Bio derived Oil field Chemicals, Fluid Transitional derived Issues, Unconventional Drilling, Drilling Fluid Technology, project management, and unparalleled leadership skills and management proficiency, I do apply. I am highly motivated professionally with an aptitude for quickly learning new skills. I am very versatile in special core analysis- experimentally investigating and analysing permeability, porosity, phase saturation, formation damage during production and enhanced oil recovery using relative permeability tester (RPT), glass beads micro-model. Have encountered and successfully analyzed Reservoir Engineering and Geo-mechanic data to draw inferences that will lead to work program. Significant experience in handling the challenges of flow in fractured reservoir, flow assurance, pressure management during production and underbalanced drilling. Successfully added to my credit five (5) chapters in books and over seventy (70) scholar articles. Also serves as a sessional chair for society of Petroleum Engineers International conferences, a reviewer for several reputable international journals in petroleum and natural gas engineering. I am now serving as an instructor for PESGB (Petroleum Exploration Society of Great Britain) program, delivering industry short courses worldwide in different subjects including Reservoir Characterization, Naturally Fractured Reservoir.
