Case Summary:

North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.comrepresented an associate partner in the field of Petroleum Engineering. This associate partner had focused on hydraulic fracturing and natural gas transportation. He had contributed towards the development of an optimization method that takes the newer concept of Unified Fracture Design into account, in addition to having worked to improve horizontal well drilling throughout the United States with models that he had developed. This research not only resulted in consistent presentations at international conferences, but also resulted in the publication of 4 peer-reviewed journal articles at the time of filing his case. In total, these aforementioned publications had been cited 109 times at the time of case filing. As stated by one independent recommender, “[Client] is a very informed researcher who is highly dedicated to his work for the development of models for the interpretation and the design of fracture injection/falloff tests. Once this process is perfected, there will be a strategic use of such technology within the natural gases and oils within our country. [Client’s] global model for fracture-injection/falloff test analysis will be a great contribution when it comes to the cost and use of oil and gas, especially since these findings will help the well drilling throughout the numerous US gas shale plays (such as the Barnett, Haynesville, Woodford, Fayetteville and Marcellus), as well as the even more strategic Bakken oil shale of North Dakota and in the liquids-rich gas shales such as the Eagle Ford in Texas and the Granite Wash between Texas and Oklahoma.” This EB-2 NIW petition received approval on May 12, 2014.
