Suri has over 34 years of experience as a practicing engineer in upstream energy. The underlying theme of his career has been solving unique engineering problems and developing new technologies in the energy industry with a focus on well integrity, thermal problems, multiphase flow modeling and probabilistic design. In 2000, Suri co-founded Blade Energy Partners, where he leads their engineering and R&D groups. Current interests include carbon sequestration, alternative energy engineering, thermal and geothermal well engineering, and reliability-based design. With over 100 archival publications and four patents, Suri has made several fundamental contributions to the energy industry, including the application of reliability-based design to complex wells, strain-based and low-cycle fatigue design for thermal and geothermal wells, well design and thermal performance analysis for superhot rock geothermal, and well integrity and leak risk assessment for carbon sequestration projects. Suri is currently Chairman of Blade, and the Chief Technologist for Mazama Energy.
