Artem Mavliutov is a PhD student from the University of Padova, Italy. His main focus is on applied linear algebra with an accent on high-performance computing, especially multi-GPU clusters.

I started my oilfield career in SLB in 2008 as a LWD field engineer. After spending couple of years in the field I moved to geosteering domain and in the last 15 years I have worked in multiple field development projects that involved planning and executing innovative field development strategies using horizontal wells addressing unique challenges to minimize cost and maximize production. I'm currently working as Senior, Reservoir Mapping & Geosteering for SLB, based in Qatar.

I am Maha Al-Jaber. I graduated from Texas A&M University at Qatar back in 2022 and my major is Petroleum Engineering. I Joined North Oil Company back in September 2022. I am passionate about cores that’s why my first job was Operational Petrophysicst Developee between 2022-2024. I am currently working as an Associate Reservoir Engineer focusing on reservoir development and modeling.
