Dr Shivanjali Sharma completed her Ph D at the Indian School of Mines (ISM), Dhanbad in 2015. Her current research interests are in flow assurance and designing drilling fluids for both conventional and unconventional reservoirs. In addition to teaching on e.g. Production Operations, Enhanced Oil Recovery, Reservoir Engineering, and Drilling Technology at both the graduate and postgraduate level, she has authored numerous research papers in national and international journals, and is also a reviewer for a reputed journal published by Elsevier. Dr Sharma is presently working on a major research project on “Development of Polyionic Liquid Based Silicate Muds for Wellbore Stability in Shale Reservoirs”, funded by DST India.   Dr Amit Saxena completed his Ph D at the Indian School of Mines (ISM), Dhanbad in 2015. His current research interests include the use of foam in enhanced oil recovery, fracturing and other drilling techniques, and high-viscosity oil multiphase flow hydrodynamics. In addition to his specialization he is knowledgeable about practical approaches to drilling technology and reservoir engineering. During his doctoral studies he published numerous research papers in prominent national and international journals, and received the best research paper award at an international conference on drilling technology in 2012.   Neha Saxena is a Research Scholar at the Indian Institute of Technology, Dhanbad. Her current interest is in synthesizing a new surfactant that can be applied in various petroleum fields, especially in connection with unconventional resources. She has published extensively on surfactants in national and international journals.
