Hello, I'm

Alfan Rizki Maulana

Petroleum Engineer & Subsurface ML Developer

Petroleum Engineering graduate from ITB. I work on subsurface reservoir data, physics-constrained machine learning, and the software around them.

Connecting subsurface reservoir physics with data science, machine learning & software engineering.

Thesis: finding undrained oil zones where there is too little data to train a model normally
Medco E&P: rule-score + ML pipeline for undrained saturation across Sand X
Built and run the web tools my department uses (Kompatra, Patra-Q, PATRA)

Who's typing

Between the subsurface and the code.

I'm Alfan Rizki Maulana A.K.A Alrim, most people just call me Alfan. I graduated in Petroleum Engineering from Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) in 2026, having written my thesis on identifying undrained reservoir zones in a mature waterflooded field.

The work I like sits between two things: subsurface physics and code. At Medco E&P I built a screening pipeline that found undrained oil from about 300 lines of data, because there was never going to be enough to train a model the normal way. That constraint is the interesting part.

Selected work

Projects I'm proud of

Web apps, calculators and the research behind them.

Experience & education

Where I've worked and studied

An internship in the field, a degree that ended in a thesis I'm proud of, and the jobs that paid for it.

  1. MEDCOAug 2025

    Reservoir Engineer Intern

    Medco E&P Indonesia

    Built a rule-score + ML pipeline to detect undrained saturation zones across Sand X using limited data (~300 lines of well thickness, PVT and historical production). Applied Gaussian Superposition to spread pressure-derived saturation data from individual wells across the full field, working around the data limitation that made direct ML training infeasible. Georeferenced well data by converting raw images into usable .TIF and .SHP spatial files.
