Offshore/ Onshore Oil Field Operations Manager

To demonstrate my technical and managerial skills and contribute to the company objectives

I possess multi-tasking ability. I consider myself is an excellent fit, with my qualification and experience, for assignments related to managing oil production field operations (offshore as well as onshore). My background includes 28 years of success in managing oil and gas field operations, liaison, planning & coordination for activities related to surface production operations, well integrity, well testing, work over candidate well identification process optimization and EOR. I offer particular expertise in the operational planning issues namely monitoring daily production, meeting production targets, HES (Health, safety and environment) issues, SIMOPs.
Presently I am working in Joint Operations, Wafra, Kuwait in Production Operations Division. Here there are around 600 SRP and 200 ESP wells. I am responsible for operation of 15 gathering centers and well testing. My association in Mumbai High redevelopment projects (an offshore venture in India) gave me direct exposure Gas Lift wells.
Additionally I have first hand experience in planning, forecasting and development of existing fields (brown field development) for production enhancement, EOR (In-situ combustion) and surface facility debottlenecking. I am well versed with international standards like API, related to pipelines and surface facilities. I am capable to work independently and also can lead MDT. I work under multi-discipline & multi-cultural Chevron work environment.
