Geological Controls for Gas Hydrates and Unconventionals

Dr. Sanjeev Rajput is a Principal Advisor Geophysics, Oil and Gas Development with Baker Hughes, Malaysia and has 15 years of diverse experience in oil and gas industry. He obtained a B.Sc in Physics and Mathematics in 1998 from M.J.P. Rohilkhand University, India and a Master of Technology (M.Tech) in Applied Geophysics in 2001 from Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra, India. In 2007, he graduated with a Ph.D. from Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra, India, specializing in 4C seismic data analysis and quantitative interpretation. Sanjeev began his career as a Marine Geophysicist with CGG International before going for his post-doctorate fellowship with University of Texas at Austin, USA. As a Reservoir Geophysicist with Schlumberger in 2007 he was involved in Full Field Review, Mature Field development, and Quantitative Interpretation of Geophysical data. He joined CSIRO Australia in 2009 as a Senior Research Scientist and moved on as Principal Scientist. His consulting work was focused on geophysical data analysis and quantitative interpretation of oil and gas fields. Sanjeev joined Baker Hughes in 2013 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. His work is primarily on Mature Oil and Gas field development, Unconventional hydrocarbon exploration and development, and Quantitative Interpretation and production enhancement. He is a member of SEG, EAGE, and SPE. He has authored greater than 50 international publications. Dr. Naresh Kumar Thakur eceived his Masters in 1970 from Osmania University, Hyderabad, India and Ph.D. from Bombay University, Bombay in 1984. With more than 40 years of research experience in diversified geological and geophysical experimentations, he is presently focusing his research on unconventional hydrocarbon exploration. He has more than 70 peer reviewed papers and two US patents in his credit. He served as a member of United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and elect representative for five years.
