I have recently joined as a Post-Doctoral Fellow at IIT-Gandhinagar, India. The main objective is to understand petrophysical properties that affect choosing a geological site for CO2 sequestration (CCS). Detailed studies include petrology, mineral equilibria, geochemistry, drone- based 3D outcrop mapping and traditional geological datasets. My doctoral dissertation was based on gas shale characterization at the University of Petroleum and Energy Studies, India. The research involved geochemical, geomechanical and petrophysical characterization in the source-reservoir rocks for understanding the hydrocarbon potential, pore attributes and depositional environment conditions. I have experience in field and laboratory (XRD, SEM, XRF, AAS, ICPMS, Rock-Eval, FTIR, GC-MS, GC-IRMS and BET) analysis and interpretations. The experiments were accomplished in collaboration with institutions like ONGC, NGRI, BSIP, WIHG, GERMI, and IIT-Kharagpur. My work experience also extends to teaching laboratory-based and theoretical subjects.
