WORK HISTORY
Production Engineer @SLB
Aberdeen, GB
Driving digital transformation across upstream oil & gas through AI, cloud solutions, and intelligent automation. At SLB, I lead initiatives that integrate engineering expertise with cutting-edge technology to optimize production, accelerate decisions, and support the energy transition. Shell Nelson Field – Opportunity Manager (IOM):Deployed a machine learning solution reducing well review time by 90%. Identified 3 WSO/reperf candidates accelerating recovery of 1.6MMbbls. Created a reusable digital framework for mature field intervention planning. TotalEnergies – Subsea Robotics & CDF:Enabled automation of 500GB survey data from subsea drone inspections using Cognite Data Fusion. Developed ingestion and visualization workflows to streamline pipeline integrity insights. TPAO – Smart Well Optimization POC:Delivered an end-to-end Pipesim-integrated POC for zone-wise water production tracking. Positioned SLB’s Optiflow offering to manage water shut-off and smart well strategies. Analog Gauge Detection (YOLOv8):Built a real-time computer vision solution to digitize legacy field gauge readings, enabling cost-effective monitoring in brownfield sites. Corrosion Segmentation & Scoring:Designed a semantic segmentation pipeline with pixel-level severity scoring to automate visual inspection analysis and defect prioritization. Sprint Robotics Seminar 2025:Presented SLB’s AI inspection solutions to senior stakeholders from BP, Chevron, and Petrobras. Authored a strategic lead intelligence report for BD alignment. Mentoring & Enablement:Recognized in SLB’s Cognite Hub for digital workflow innovation. Mentored peers in CDF and Dataiku to build scalable field automation solutions.

ABOUT JOY BARUA
I’m a seasoned Petroleum Engineer with 13+ years of industry experience, driving innovation across upstream oil & gas through data, AI, and digital workflows.Currently a Production Engineer at SLB, I lead initiatives at the intersection of domain engineering and digital transformation — building solutions that enhance production, reduce operational inefficiencies, and support scalable deployment across assets.Throughout my career, I’ve delivered impactful outcomes in: • Digital Opportunity Management (e.g, ML-driven IOM for Shell – 90% time reduction, 1.6MMbbl unlocked) • Smart Well Optimization (e.g, TPAO POC integrating Pipesim for zone-level water management) • AI/ML in Integrity Monitoring (e.g, Corrosion segmentation scoring, subsea robotic inspection workflows) • Brownfield Digitization (e.g, YOLO-based analog gauge detection for field automation) • Cloud Transformation (e.g, Cognite-based real-time analytics for TotalEnergies) • Knowledge Transfer & Mentoring (e.g, mentoring in CDF, Dataiku, and automation pipelines)I’ve also represented SLB at key industry forums, including the Sprint Robotics Seminar 2025, where I engaged with senior leaders from BP, Chevron, and Petrobras on AI-powered inspection robotics — and authored a lead-generation report that helped shape BD strategy. What I bring to senior roles: Proven leadership across digital oilfield projects Deep experience in field operations, production systems & modeling Track record of client success in AI/ML deployment Passion for mentoring and building reusable solutions Ability to bridge field engineering with enterprise-scale innovationLet’s connect if you’re seeking a strategic, technically hands-on leader who can drive AI and digital transformation in oil & gas operations — and scale success across regions and assets.
