Petroleum Engineering professional applying hands-on field and data skills to optimize oil and gas operations.
What I'm looking for
I’m a motivated Petroleum Engineering Master’s candidate with direct experience in oil and gas field operations, process monitoring, and equipment analysis. I’m eager to apply practical knowledge in well construction, risk analysis, and operational reporting as a Field Engineer.
As a Research Assistant at Nazarbayev University, I work on CEOR using natural and nano-surfactants, combining lab characterization (FTIR, HNMR, XRD, SEM, IFT) with coreflooding tests to support advanced well development strategies. I also translate technical results into clear insights through data-driven research and reporting.
I’ve complemented my engineering foundation with operational and analytical roles—serving as a Junior Data Analyst using data analysis and intelligent automation for integrity assessment and pipeline risk analysis, and previously managing petroleum product deliveries, contractor payments, and contract fulfillment across Kazakhstan. I bring a fast-learning, continuous-improvement mindset and demonstrated leadership in team environments.
