About Ramakrishna Ponnapati

As a people leader, I am driven by the ideas that are worth developing and commercializing to provide solutions to the energy industry and the people that generate these ideas. During my career I have successfully served in various roles in oilfield such as research scientist, technical support specialist, production enhancement champion, technology manager and techno-commercial manager. I have lead technology teams and contributed to the development and launch of several new production chemistry products for offshore, onshore and downstream applications. I am glad to receive several recognitions within the company and in the industry at large for my contributions, some of them are listed below. I have co-authored 60+ peer-reviewed papers, conference proceedings and several patent applications. I also enjoy mentoring early career engineers and scientists.#leadership #chemicals #nanotechnology #productionenhancement #oilgas #wearebakerhughes #energy #energytransitionHONORS & AWARDS“Emerging Leader\" Offshore Technology Conference 2021\"Best Production Chemicals Award” at World Oil Awards 2017 \"Hart\'s E&P Special Meritorious Award for Engineering Innovation\" presented at OTC 2017\"Best Cross-Product Line Collaboration Project\", presented at Baker Hughes, CIS annual awards 2016 \"Best commercial technology for 2012\" award from upstream chemicals, Baker Hughes.Quarterly technology award for Q3 in 2012.Quarterly technology award for Q1 in 2012.\"Excellence in Graduate Polymer Research Award\", sponsored by the ACS Division of Polymer Chemistry for 2008.\"Graduate Research Award\", sponsored by SPE South Texas, 2008.\"John Lomonte Outstanding Teaching Assistant in Organic Chemistry Award\", 2007, UH
