Process engineer

My aim is to work in a fast-paced, dynamic company that challenges me every day and allow me to progress at a professional and personal level. I would like a hands-on role that tests me daily both inside and out of the work place.

09/2006 – 03/2009: I have worked as drilling fluids engineer with MI-SWACO Company in different oil and gas fields in Algeria such as HASSI MESSAOUD and IN SALAH, using different mud type, OBM (Versadrill, Fazepro), WBM (KCL polymer) and completion fluids.
Work experience in drilling fields allowed me to build knowledge in first step of hydrocarbon exploitation and different problems encountered during the drilling and how to deal with.
Main responsibilities:
 Manage chemical products and mud supply to the rig.
 Assure that mud properties are correct for the specific drilling environment.
 Recommend drilling practice changes that will help reach the drilling objectives.
 Adapt the drilling fluid system to meet the unique conditions encountered on each well.
