Javed Iqbal is a Senior Reservoir and Completions Engineer at ResFrac with 17 years of experience spanning the Montney, Permian, and Deepwater Gulf of Mexico. He applies reservoir characterization and hydraulic fracture modeling to refine geomechanical models and develop data-integrated, automated workflows that support history matching, reduce uncertainty, and drive cost-effective development decisions.

Prior to joining ResFrac, Javed worked as an Offshore Stimulation Engineer at Schlumberger in the U.S. Deepwater Gulf of Mexico, where he designed and executed open- and cased-hole frac-pack and acid stimulation treatments for conventional reservoirs operated by Shell, BP, Oxy, and Chevron.

Javed also spent seven years as a Subsurface Engineer with Premier Corex’s Reservoir Solutions Group, where he led the company’s largest multi-client Permian Basin project from 2017 to 2023. In this role, he supported collaborative development efforts across the Delaware and Midland Basins, optimizing benches from the Upper Spraberry and Jo Mill through the Wolfcamp D. He later extended these workflows to projects in the Uinta, DJ, and Marcellus basins.

Earlier in his career, Javed worked in Canada with Trican Well Service, leading technical accounts for Shell, Husky, and Encana. His work included fracture modeling, design, and execution of complex HPHT completions across the Duvernay, Exshaw, and Montney. He also supported BP’s global onshore production portfolio, optimizing artificial lift, water disposal, and well intervention strategies.

Javed holds a Master of Engineering in Petroleum Engineering from the University of Alberta, is a registered Professional Engineer in Alberta, and has authored several technical papers published through the Society of Petroleum Engineers.

Outside of work, Javed enjoys spending time with his family, traveling in nature, snorkeling, hiking, and volunteering in the community.
