The SPE UWI Student Chapter presents... " So you think you want to be a Data Scientist?", our first technical talk for 2024!!! Our guest speaker is Kiran Nandlal, Ph.D. and he will be discussing the role data science plays in the oil and gas industry along with the job opportunities in this field. Kiran holds degrees in Petroleum Geoscience, Reservoir Engineering and Petroleum Engineering. He began his academic journey at The University of the West Indies St. Augustine where he was first introduced to the Geosciences during his B.Sc. and gained an appreciation of the Subsurface and its application to Oil and Gas exploration. From there he attended Heriot-Watt University in Scotland where he delved deeper into the field of Reservoir Engineering with a M.Sc. in Reservoir Evaluation and Management. His studies were concluded with a Ph.D. in Petroleum Engineering at Texas A&M University with his Doctoral Dissertation focused on Reservoir Simulation of Drainage Volumes around Hydraulically Fractured Wells. These degrees were punctuated by various stints working and gaining invaluable experience in the Oil and Gas Industry both at governmental and private institutions. Kiran has experience as a Petroleum Geoscientist and Reservoir Engineer at the Ministry of Energy Trinidad and as a Reservoir Engineer at Heritage Petroleum. He has recently pivoted his Subsurface experience into the field of Data Science and Engineering and is currently a Subsurface Data Manager at bptt.
