Reservoir Engineer with 20+ Years Experience

Strategic/Operational and Corporate Management of ¡°Sub-Surface¡± E&P assets. Propose and implement reservoir management strategies to maximize recovery

(A) Experience in Daleel Petroleum LLC from Sep 2009 till date (1.5 Years) as a capacity of Senior Reservoir Engineer

(B) Experience in Petroleum Development Oman, Muscat

(1) Reservoir Simulation & Field Development Plans -Used MoRes for past 6 years for delivering FDPs of Marmul Field and Natih-D PEPO Project of Fahud Field. Also involved in Well pick-up sessions in Marmul in conjunction with WRM Team.

(2) Fahud waterflood Pilot - Monitoring of Water-flood, liasion with WRM Team for data gathering & interpretation and feedback. Construction of Fahud-D reservoir Pilot Models and prediction of shutting-in of high-permeability streaks. Forecasting full-field Fahud production based on history-matched RAM Models by PetroVR software.

(3) Fahud Natih-D "Sector Model" to assess benefits of GOGD via-a-vis water-flood. Study involved modelling F-366 sector both in Matrix and Dual porosity models and assesssing impact of uncertainties, sensitivity studies etc.

(4) Construction of an alternative full-field simulation model (matrix model) for the Yibal Cluster. Mechanistic models construction in FlowStream software for streamline visualisation and to study impact of coning etc. in Yibal field. Worked as a Task Force Member for the Yibal Re-development Team. Currently involved in Integrated Production Modelling of Yibal Field in the "New Futuristic Scenario" - reduction of overinjection in Yibal field, disposal of excess water in Al-Huwaisah Shuaiba and Natih reservoirs considering production from Yibal field from 5-spot vertical pattern producers and injectors in the unswept zones (Attic oil recovery). Competent in handling Petex suite of software, MBAL, PROSPER and GAP.
