Education

Curtin University
Kensington, WA

Ph.D. from Petroleum Engineering
01.2016 - Current

University Overview

  • Continuing education in Petroleum Engineering
  • investigating hydrocarbon reservoirs using Molecular Dynamics as the tool
  • Focusing on Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) geosequestration in ersatz hydrocarbon reservoirs

Curtin University
Bentley, WA

Master of Science from Petroleum Engineering
02.2011 - 07.2012

University Overview

  • Topped my Advanced Reservoir Engineering unit and scored a high distinction average in each of my final two semesters
  • As group leader, led the semester–long planning, development and creation of an extensive field plan for the development of an oilfield (Hatar) using real data. This involved reservoir and fluid characterisation, STOIIP estimation/calculation, deducing drive mechanisms, recovery factors and ultimate recovery based on available data, ascertaining well deliverability, rendering an economic analysis of the field in terms of OPEX and CAPEX, outlining risks and uncertainties while putting in place plans to mitigate and prepare for each, and putting forth recommendations for the operation of the field. The field plan can be found at the website I created solely for this purpose http://mrpattersonsoil.weebly.com/hatar-oilfield.html
