About

Dr. Mahendra K. Verma is a petroleum engineer having over 26 years of oil industry experience with both major and large independent oil companies and has made significant contribution in the development of some of the largest oil fields of the world. His specialization is in reservoir engineering, including hydrocarbon reserve assessment, reservoir performance evaluation; reserve/production optimization through application of water flood and or gas injection, and enhanced oil recovery. He worked as a research petroleum engineer with the U.S. Geological Survey between June 1998 and September 2017, and provided engineering support to geologic assessment of various petroleum provinces around the world, including Middle East, North Sea, Mexico and North America. He served as a technical support/consultation to Joint Warfare Analysis Center of the U.S. Department of Defense and Central Intelligence Agency. He was invited: by EPA to present some of the engineering aspects impacting environment at their meeting in Houston; by the Conference Board of Canada to give a talk on reserve growth in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin at their meeting in Calgary; and by the International Energy Agency (IEA) in Paris, France to be on the Review Committee for their annual report “World Energy Outlook 2005”. He is currently working as an emeritus with U.S. Geological Survey.
