Hello! I'm Eric Kim, a Data Scientist and Petroleum Engineer in the oil and gas industry. My expertise includes process simulations, general compressor applications, and data science. After I got my bachelor's in Petroleum Engineering with a minor in Computer Science at the University of Texas at Austin in 2019, I've been working for Flogistix in Oklahoma. I've been involved with various compressor projects, with focus on (but not restricted to) vapor recovery for reducing carbon footprint of oil and gas operations and ensuring compliance with federal emission requirements. I have also established my permanent residency (greencard) in the U.S. since early 2023.
For professional inquiries, please contact me at aegis4048@gmail.com. I'm open for short-term part-time consulting services. For discussions or questions related to my posts, please direct them in the comment section of each post, as it could assist others with similar interests.

GasCompressibility-Py
GasCompressibility-py is a Python library for calculating the gas compressibility factor, $Z$, based on real gas law. It is designed with practical oil field application in mind, in which the required inputs ($T$, $P$, and $\gamma_{g}$) can be readily obtained from the surface facility.
