Reservoir Engineering Interview questions 1

Not so long ago I was preparing for an interview for the post of a Reservoir Engineer. Read job description here

I could not find a single  page on the web where I could get any proper mock interview questions for this profession. So I decided to make one.

Please read on for mock interview questions.

Answers will be given in the next blog post, All this material has been gathered from books journals and of course the internet

1.    What is the difference between primary porosity and secondary porosity?
2.    Which rock property is a function of pressure – porosity or pressure?
3.    What is the equation for pre volume compressibility?
4.    What is the difference between pore volume compressibility, rock compressibility and formation compressibility?
5.    Why do we run more than one porosity log in an well?
6.    Name two methods of estimating reservoir permeability?
7.    When might the measured permeability be an untrue estimate of formation compressibility?
8.    What is a primary use of a capillary pressure data?
9.    Describe what a capillary drainage process is and provide two examples?
10.    For a given capillary pressure curve , is the transition zone height the same for a gas water system and an oil water system? Explain?

 

The answers will be given in the next blog post.

I will be adding more questions in the near future. So please Ctrl+D this blog

Please feel free to add more questions in the comments section

I will also be putting up some  Well Testing questions in the near future.

Blackberry Playbook Review

Where recently Vodaphone Australia  took out a new scheme under which they gave away a Blackberry Bold 9780 and a Blackberry Playbook for a very very cheap price of $49 for two years.

Now my reviews. TO be very fair i do not need a tablet, I did not need a tablet. My work involves me typing a lot of stuff and some good processing power. This tablet comes very close to replacing my laptop. I can practically watch online movies, download videos, copy them to the playbook and play them. I am very impressed.

Vodaphone gives me 1.5gb of browsing data. I hardly use mobile internet on the go. Probably to locate a address some time.

 

I would recommend this tablet to people who are looking for one. It is pretty good. It has games too….”Need for speed” Playbook version. And I hear in a few days blackberry will bring out an app which will be able to run all the android apps on it.

I am pretty satisfied with my Blackberry Playbook. Its fast responsive and its QNX operating system never hangs. Now being a Blackberry addict I love email. The Playbook unfortunately does not have any native email client. You will have to bridge it with your Blackberry phone via bluetooth.

 

What this essentially means is that, you will connect your blackberry phone and the playbook via bluetooth and then you will be able to access your email and internet on playbook. This is a little bit of a down side but hey…. its not that bad. Where ever my Playbook goes my my Bold 9780 goes so it kind of makes sense.

It has 16 gb of memory which is pretty much 4 seasons of the big bang theory and one Alice in wonderland.

2 cameras, One front and one side facing. There is not no Skype client for BB but there is one for Android. When the Android player is out you will be able to skype with it….I am hoping. (Waiting for Firefox)

Pinch and zoom, nice  tab browsing, can play flash, megavideo, rapid video etc, Native PDF reader etc.

(yes you can watch the big bang theory in megavideo on this player9

Its light and small enough to fit in your bag but big enough to have your entire attention when watching a movie or reading a book.

Wifi, book reader and what not. To top it off it is very cheap too, I come to hear that the price of the playbook will be dropped to $250.I am not to sure about that but I would definatly recommend the playbook to any one of you.

Battery life is pretty good. It goes 5 days with moderate using for me

 

Its the best of Android and QNX.

If you are on a long drive, you can use this tablet as your GPS, Just bridge it with your Bold 9780 and you are good to go with a GPS, Fill it up with games and give it to your kids in the car or put a nice movie for them to watch or a book perhaps for your wify to read. Many possibilites. And with the android player coming up very soon all the apps available in in android will be available to you.

The Android App Player is in beta testing. Link 1

If you have any questions please shoot away

IELTS test ….. Karmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s not that I do not endorse the need for proper English; it’s just that it is so so so damn frustrating.
Now I require a 7 in each band of Ielts for reasons that will not be said, actually I require an 8 but I will let that be for now. Now mind you that this is out of 9. The maximum you can get is 9.
An IELTS test consists of 4 parts, speaking, reading, listening and writing. I need to get a 7 in each of them.
 
I do not mind speaking reading and writing. What bugs me the most is the listening part?
I am essentially in a room with 50 plus people listing to a stupid stupid conversation between some random people and I have to hear them care fully
IELTS Listening Test
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=wHUrE6JCBUo#t=156s
it is at this point I want to put my head inside the speaker and grab hold of the Andersons neck and break it into two.
Is it not bad enough that these people do not think my masters in engineering degree is not a good threshold for English, that I am wasting one of my hard-earned weekends into proving my competence in English and on top of that paying an entire days salary for the same and they actually want to push me to the edge by making me listen to a conversation of someone looking for a house!!! This is an insult to my intelligence (slightly above average than a chimp) ….it is at these moments I feel my entire Engineering in its entirety was futile. I should have been studying for these English exams
Speaking listening writing have not been a trouble for me ever…I get a 7 and 8 in each of them. What holds me back is my illegible handwriting or disgraphia. “Mute man language” or a “chicken scratching the earth to peck insects” are the adjectives used to describe my handwriting. As I was in engineering this never came in my way, we had mostly equations and numerical, it was never really of much trouble or complain.  More over it did help me with some mistakes I made in the exam.
What is that, is it a” +” (plus) or an” x” (multiplication sign), the benefit of the doubt went to me. Yiyee!!!
Doctors and Engineers have bad handwriting. We put a lot of effort into messing up our handwriting. It’s a profession thing.
 Just because I do not get a 7 in writing I have to take the whole damn exam again and again and again.
My friend aptly put it, this is Karma. You just have to do it, over and over and over until you get the result. Think of climbing the stairs of the holy temple of Vaishno Devi (14 Kms of stairs) you just climb and climb and climb (it just keeps on coming!!!!) until you reach the temple.
 
I don’t mind the money I spend on it, I do mind the time I waste ( I could be finding the cure to cancer or eradicating world hunger, not that I would but I could) But what I really really hate is the insult to the intelligence I have to endure and listen to Mr Anderson house hunting…….!!!!!!
May be they should introduce a system where one can give the exam for a specific section instead of doing the whole thing. Someone listening???

Bulla Shah Poems

A few poems by Bulla Shah taken from here

 

I am just copy pasting them here as that website is hosted on tripod and I have no idea when it will go down. I want to save the collection of the poem. I will keep updating this page as and when I find more and more poems

1.Chal Way Bullehya Chal O’thay Chaliyay
Jithay Saaray Annay
Na Koi Saadee Zaat PichHanay
Tay Na Koi Saanu Mannay

English translation

O’ Bulleh Shah let’s go there
Where everyone is blind
Where no one recognizes our caste (or race, or family name)
And where no one believes in us

2.Masjid Dha Day, Mandir Dha Day
Dha Day Jo Kujh Disda
Par Kissay Da Dil Na Dhawee(n)
Rub Dilaa(n) Wich Wasda
English translation

Tear down the Mosque, tear down the temple
Tear down every thing in sight
But don’t (tear down) break anyone’s heart
Because God lives there
