About
I am a current freshman in college pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science. My interests are focused on leveraging technology to make better decisions related to the medical field. My goal is to inspire and assist the next generation of engineers and scientists to pursue degrees in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics).

Pressure Transient Analysis in Shales
(ongoing work) PTA's rigor is brought to the forefront when analyzing dense data sets of pressure buildups as a result of well shut-ins. With fewer long-term shut-ins planned, PTA may not be seen in the same light as it used to. However, with unconventional plays taking off and wells being drilled closer together, there is still great value in PTA. This work aims to review classical approaches, detail new advancements, and provide exhaustive recommendations for engineers and reservoir development.

Real vs. "Fake" Gases in O&G
- (in revision) Comprehension of hydrocarbon chemistry is key to successfully produce oil and gas. This article reviews important history and usage of the gas compressibility factor (Z-Factor).
Back to the Basics: The Liquid Diffusivity Equation
- (link) Sure, oil price is important. However, first you have to produce it from 1000s of feet below surface. Let's review how 3 "simple" equations describe the physics of fluid flow through porous media.
