Uttam Gupta

Highly motivated Petroleum Engineering graduate student (3.9 GPA) and APEGA E.I.T. candidate (designation under process) with a strong foundation in subsurface engineering. Proficient in MS Excel, GeoScout, Petrel RE, Whitson+, Python, and Power BI, with a proven ability to conduct detailed subsurface data reviews and support field development planning in multidisciplinary upstream environments. Actively seeking Reservoir or Production Engineering opportunities where I can apply a collaborative, problem-solving mindset while strictly upholding a zero-harm safety culture.

Research Assistant (Part-Time) at Nano Water Tech Inc. (2025-11 – 2025-12)

• Evaluated oilfield wastewater treatment via adsorption under simulated field conditions, monitoring pH, iron, calcium, and silica to assess proprietary chemicals performance.
• Successfully reduced contaminant concentrations to below 50 ppm, translating lab data into field-scale engineering recommendations such as number of cycles and filtration bed cleaning approach to optimize operational efficiency.

Petroleum Engineering Intern (Part-Time) at Engeonomy Technologies private Limited (2023-01 – 2023-04)

• Analyzed Modular Dynamic Tester (MDT) and well test data to determine initial reservoir pressures and oil-water contacts (OWC), validating petrophysical logs against laboratory core measurements.
• Initialized a 3-D reservoir model in Petrel RE to populate petrophysical properties, conduct probabilistic STOIIP estimations under uncertainty, and history-match production profiles with aquifer support to forecast performance.

Graduate Engineer Trainee (Full-Time) at Indian Oil Adani Gas Private Limited (2021-08 – 2022-09)

• Collaborated in commissioning 23+ km of 8-inch steel and 15+ km of polyethylene distribution network to enable uninterrupted regional supply of natural gas via nitrogen purging, and natural gas charging.
• Provided comprehensive support to the team through AutoCAD Piping & Instrumentation design and project record maintenance to obtain regulatory permission for commercial business startup.
• Analyzed natural gas supply & consumption data and managed < 2% of lost and unaccounted gas (LUAG) to reduce operating cost via leak detection tests across pipeline network.
• Created dashboards and reports using Power BI, and Excel to enhance data visualization and business insights.
• Promoted safe operations and regulatory compliance by reporting near-miss incidents and enforcing PPE adherence in field activities.
• Participated in project expansion planning and related cost estimation based on good and contractual service consumption.
• Maintained and streamlined billing process through SAP database development for 250+ household consumers.

Industrial Tour Coordinator at Society of Petroleum Engineer, Calgary Section (2024-08 – Present)

• Led and coordinated industrial field and laboratory technical tours to bridge the gap between classroom concepts and practical applications and provided a networking platform to students and young professionals
• Spearheaded technical site visits to cutting-edge carbon capture, sequestration and climate technology sites, including Carbon Management Canada research facilities, Inno Tech Alberta's carbon capture facility and the Deep sky Alpha Direct Air carpeting facility.
• Managed logistics and entire industry laboratory excursions, coordinating visits to Core Laboratories, Trican Well Service Laboratories, AGAT Laboratories, and the Inter Pipeline Cochrane Extraction plant.
• Successfully raised $2,000+ in funds and helped 100+ student/young professionals to network with industry executives.

Volunteer at University of Calgary (2023-12 – Present)

• Supported Whitson in organizing the Whitson Technical Course on "Analytical and Numerical Rate Transient Analysis (RTA)" for University of Calgary students.
• Volunteered in the organization of the 2025 SPE 3-Minute Thesis (3MT) Pitch Competition, supporting event management, logistics and its overall smooth functioning.
• Served as Academic Officer with the Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Graduate Association and supported the organization of the first-ever in-person Graduate Student Poster Presentation competition in 2024.
