2006 to Present, Hunt Oil Company, Sana’a, Yemen.

Performed Varieties of engineering duties related to gathering and analysis of reservoir rock and fluid data, appraisal, delineation, and of well and reservoir performance.
Participated in reservoir characterization studies and building geological models currently utilized IRAP-RMS and Petrel Softwares. Build and updated reservoir simulation models. (Compositional models utilizing Eclipse).
Studied and Recommended field development plans for the assigned field to implement the best techno-economical option that provides sustainable production.
Studied and evaluated EOR options to ensure optimum ultimate recovery. Estimated and updated reserves.
Conducted field development studies to provide data for surface design and optimization

2005 to 2006, Hunt Oil Company, Sana’a, Yemen
Perform on-site supervision of downhole completions, well testing, workovers, abandonments, horizontal, directional and underbalanced drilling operations.  Experience with various surface facility equipment including separators, line heaters, dehydrators and pumping units.  Organize on-site equipment and services and prepare daily drilling and completion reports.  Provide on-site safety supervision.
2004 to 2005, Hunt Oil Company, Sana’a, Yemen
Prepare economic evaluations of oil and gas properties.  Provide recommendations for acquisitions, divestitures, development, enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and production optimization.
2003 to 2004, Hunt Oil Company, Sana’a, Yemen
Prepare economic evaluations of oil and gas properties.  Reservoir studies have included volumetric analysis, decline curve analysis, pressure transient analysis, detailed material balance and simulation techniques to evaluate future well and reservoir potential.
Conducted modeling and updating of full-field numerical reservoir simulation models for Yemen Hunt Oil Company. Generated single-well, element and/or sector models by extracting some areas/cross sections from the full field models for fit-for-purposes investigation. Carried out field development optimization studies by using the above models with due consideration of project economics and subsurface/surface constraints.

A Co-ordinator: As an Engineer, I have been responsible for cultivating a team spirit and cooperation between Health and Safety Supervisor and Employees who facilitate the optimum performance. Even as a group member in project I have help to organize and sometimes resolve potentially disruptive arguments.

A Communicator: Teaching experience has shown me the importance of good communicating skills. No less important has been my ability to express myself clearly and effectively on paper in projects and essays.

An Enthusiasm: I have always put considerable energy and enthusiasm into any and all of my activities, believing that this is the only way to achieve worthwhile results. I try to live up to the pressure of the occasion, making sure I meet deadlines and fulfill my functions.

Languages: English, German, Swahili & Arabic. (Competent working knowledge). I have recently learnt some French and am keen to continue with this new interest and so improve my location flexibility globally.

Computer Skills: Fluent use of black-oil simulators including pre- and post-processors. Experience in ECLIPSE suite of programs and on compositional model. Frequent use of ASPEN and fundamental understanding of HYSYS simulation packages. Basic programming skills in Fotran 90 and a working knowledge of Maple. Experience of well test software – Saphir, Interpret 2000, Pie and Pan Systems and Logging Software – Powerlog also Production Logging with Emeruade.
