Chief Data Scientist- Head of Data Science- Senior Technology Manager @PETRONAS

Kuala Lumpur, MY

As a head of data science, my focus is to develop innovative R&D technology through hybrid data science talent team in Petronas PRSB-PD & T-GR & T: Harnessing big data analytics with the state of the art of AI and novel machine/deep learning algorithms, robotics through IOT-HPC & cloud-based platform to drive action insights in oil and gas: E&P efficiency: Maximize ROI, optimize operations, while reducing cost of maintenance & identify sever risk. Lead a data science team to build big data hub with deep insights platform of seismic/well logs, core, integrating real-time drilling with daily drilling reports data and historian data; then develop novel AI-Deep Learning Predictive Models to improve performance across Petronas oil and gas operations (optimize operations, digital oilfield, drilling optimization and reduce NPT, EOR and reservoir management to increase hydrocarbon production, automated subsea factory, monitoring and diagnoses, identify stuck pipes, minimize drilling cost, optimize drilling operation; while minimize NPT, rotating equipment predictive maintenance models (PdMs) & APM, and supply chain.etc.In the era of digital transformation of upstream and downstream oil and gas: E&P efficiency; I am focusing on- Bringing together data scientists, geophysicist(s), petroleum and software engineers to provide innovative analytics solutions for the common challenges in Petronas oil and gas operations, services; and productions- Drawing vision and roadmap for the team to carry cutting-edge research (publications, IP-patents, products) in AI-machine learning-big data agile Eco-system of physical and data-driven models for better decision and future forecasting with KPI business strategies- Developing cutting-edge and break-through big data analytics with machine learning-AI ((NLP-semantic knowledge; graph theory; data mining, and large-scale optimization-statistics innovative algorithms.
