ABOUT VIVEK PATKAR
With over 15 years of experience as a Senior Project Engineer specializing in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for oil and gas applications, I have honed my skills in multiphase flow modeling, reacting flows, erosion analysis, thermal simulations, and non-Newtonian fluid dynamics.Throughout my career, successfully led cross-functional teams and managed complex projects, consistently delivering optimized designs for critical downhole tools and assemblies. My extensive experience includes leading CFD simulation projects for liner hangers, valves, and downhole completion tools, significantly improving design efficiency and reducing operational risks.Worked on optimizing artificial lift systems, such as gas lift, hydraulic lift, and plunger lift, through advanced CFD modeling, resulting in enhanced flow performance and reliability. Additionally, I have developed erosion modeling strategies for critical components, which have extended tool life and reduced maintenance costs.In the realm of thermal and reacting flow analyses, I have executed projects for highly exothermic processes in jet contactors, ensuring safe and efficient operation under varied conditions. My efforts have also led to detailed design optimization for oil and gas assemblies, including jet pumps, hydraulic fracturing tools, and flow control devices, achieving measurable performance gains.Beyond technical expertise, I have managed cross-functional teams and mentored junior engineers, fostering technical excellence and ensuring timely project delivery. I take pride in presenting CFD results to both internal and external stakeholders, translating complex technical insights into actionable recommendations for design and operations.I have also been actively involved in authoring project proposals and deliverables, securing stakeholder buy-in, and aligning solutions with client requirements. Moreover, I have experience in handling Company Vision and Mission teams by fostering Customer Experience as a core company value.Presented Individual Contribution in Specific Project to CEO of the Company, Vice President(R&D, Operations).
