It is rare that you come across a standout talent like Andrew. I was particularly impressed by his research presentation during his job interview right after he got his Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota. I remember that he was not only extremely proficient in his area of expertise (seismic inversion) but also he knew how to extrapolate his results as well as the limitations. In fact, I recommended him to our management at Shell to hire him as a Geomechanics Specialist. For the past 10 years, Andrew had been working with Shell as a Geomechanics Specialist. He demonstrated strong analytical and problem solving skills. He provided Geomechanics support to multiple assets in Unconventionals. In the meantime, he was heavily involved in R&D projects that focused on well completion optimization in Unconventionals and technology deployment. One of the field trials with significant contribution from him showed a 20%+ increase in well performance. Above all, he was a great team player with good people skills that enabled him bringing out the best from those around him. Andrew will be a true asset for any position that requires Geomechanics or analytical and numerical skills, and he has my highest recommendation.

This is a recommendation for Andrew Madyarov from John Dudley, Shell Global Subject Matter Expert for Experimental Rock Mechanics & Geomechanical Core Testing. I have known Andrew ~10 years and worked with him on several joint projects. He is an excellent mathematician and geomechanicist who is exceptionally easy to work with, very competent, insightful and productive. His modeling skills (with any tool) are hard to match, and he has significant experience with geomechanical data acquisition and asset support in the last few years. I highly recommend Andrew to any perspective employer, inside or outside the petroleum industry.

Developed an innovative numerical method for constructing a 3D initial in-situ stress field that satisfies equilibrium conditions and optimizes the match to available field measurements for complex geometries. The iterative optimization procedure with regularization was implemented in Matlab coupled with a 3D finite element model in Comsol Multiphysics. Applied to a salt dome case in the North Sea.
