What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can apply AI and data analytics to upstream petroleum engineering, work cross-functionally, and contribute to real-time production optimization while growing technical and field expertise.

I am a petroleum production engineering student and early-career engineer focused on applying AI, data analytics, and automation to upstream petroleum challenges. I have developed machine learning models for real-time well performance, built a well production dashboard web application, and created a toolkit for reservoir engineering that includes well-log processing and 3D visualization.

My internships across Sonatrach, OXY, Baker Hughes and joint-venture projects provided hands-on exposure to subsurface, reservoir, drilling and well services operations, real-time workflows, and field data validation. I combine solid academic training in reservoir and petroleum engineering with practical Python-based data skills to deliver accurate models, streamline engineering workflows, and reduce operational overhead.
