Case Summary:

A formulation evaluation reservoir engineer based in Texas engaged the services of the North America Immigration Law Group to file an NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition. Our dedicated team thoroughly analyzed the client’s experience and expertise upon his retention to develop a compelling petition.

Through our strong commitment and hard work, we gathered detailed information about our client’s focus on petroleum engineering, particularly leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to enhance formation testing data in carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainability in the production of clean energy.

We presented a strong case that incorporated compelling information. This included details on our client’s 2 peer-reviewed journal articles, 2 peer-reviewed conference articles, and the 30 citations his work has received. We also highlighted that these papers were published in authoritative, peer-reviewed journals, underscoring their credibility and impact.

With an M.Sc. in petroleum engineering and substantial experience in petroleum engineering, our client is an exceptional candidate for the National Interest Waiver. He intends to continue his research on leveraging AI and ML to enhance the analysis and interpretation of formation testing data in CCS projects to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainability in the production of clean energy. Specifically, he will evaluate key reservoir properties and fluid characteristics to ensure accurate assessment of carbon dioxide (CO2) storage capabilities and injection safety, as well as leverage advanced data science techniques to optimize data processing and interpretation to drive significant improvements in efficiency, decision-making, and overall operational performance within the CCS business.

Additionally, we included 4 recommendation letters from esteemed experts in the field. These letters strongly supported the approval of our client’s NIW petition, reaffirming the significance of his contributions to the United States. According to one of these recommenders:

“Given the substantial importance of domestic energy production to the United States’ economic and national security, alongside the need to safely sequester carbon emissions to prevent extreme climate change, [client’s] pioneering research is vital. His methodology establishes a foundation for more effective and environmentally conscious exploration, production, and use strategies, offering tangible solutions to longstanding industry challenges and strengthening the United States’ position as a global leader in energy production.”

With our assistance and the premium processing service, his NIW petition was approved in 1 month, 7 days only. We celebrate this achievement with our client and express our appreciation for entrusting us with this important journey. We wish him all the best and look forward to his continued success in future endeavors.
