Instructor

None Dr. Ashwin Venkatraman is the Founder and CEO of Resermine, a niche award-winning oil and gas technology company (MOST Promising at OTC 2018). He is the recipient of the inaugural SPE International Technical Award in Data Science and Engineering Analytics at SPE ATCE 2021 held in Dubai. The award recognized his contributions to bringing hybrid workflows that combine AI/ML with traditional approaches to accelerate subsurface decision making.

Resermine’s products have been used to optimize mature field injection operations and accelerate field development planning for fields in USA, Germany, Oman, UAE, Egypt, Mexico, India and Malaysia. Resermine is based in USA (HQ) with technology delivery centers in Kuala Lumpur (ARMC - Advanced Modeling Center), Dubai (UAE) and Muscat (Oman) to support projects in different regions.

Dr. Venkatraman has published over 30 manuscripts and is on the advisory board of SPE’s Data Science and Engineering Analytics Committee. He previously worked with Shell for over 12 years at all their technology centers (India, Netherlands and Houston).

Dr. Venkatraman served as faculty in the Petroleum Engineering Department of University of Oklahoma (2019-2020) and held research appointments in Princeton University as well as at Institute of Computational Engineering & Sciences (ICES) at the University of Texas before founding the Resermine. Dr. Venkatraman holds BSc and MSc in Chemical Engineering from IIT Bombay (India) and earned his PhD from University of Texas at Austin in Petroleum Engineering.
