CAREER HISTORY

.

January 2011 - Present NISOC Company

Sr. Reservoir Production Engineer

During last 2 years as part of an integrated-engineering team, in excess of

3-millions barrel/day oil production of NISOC, I have contributed in

several projected and routine responsibilities. My duties include:

Stimulation candidate-well selection, fracturing design engineering,

reservoir fluid properties statistical monitoring through whole reservoir

and PVT-simulation reports checking (re-simulation if needed), undertaking

rock-typing and SCAL reports and use them for wells statistical

comparisons, participated in Gachsaran-Asmari Reservoir Integrated Studies

team (PTA and RTA, Decline Curve Analysis, Production system modeling and

optimization, Gas lift optimization, Interpretation of more than 10-

Production Logging-well-data

October 2007 - 2011 NISOC Company

Production Technology Engineer

I worked in NISOC central department of production engineering office with

more than 3-milion barrel per day oil production, all well-test analysis,

stimulation job designs and production tests, monitoring, production

modeling and optimization using artificial lift design was in our team-

responsibilities, based on different aspects to all available data. Yearly

statistics official reports shows that due to more than 25 acidizing jobs

and 100 xylene/Gasoil injection jobs in year result in increasing daily oil

rate up to 300**-***** barrel per day to maintain the "Yearly Production-

Official-Rate-Commitment". I worked in production engineering operation

section, several surface-well-testing operation jobs was in our team

duties, GOR-test, multiphase rates measurement, Sep.-test and etc.

PROJECTS

.

1- Master Development Plan and Full-Field Study of 2 huge Oil Fields

Participated in Ahwaz-Bangestan & Gachsaran-Asmari Reservoirs integrated

studies team. (Analysis of Build-up/Drawdown tests, production modeling and

optimization, preparation of an especial algorithm for stimulation

candidate-well selection, study of perforation efficiencies, pressure and

rate transient analysis.)

2- Revising Reservoir Stimulation Design Procedures

Submission of acidizing procedure for volatile oil reservoir (job-design

procedure using excel worksheet) Applied in several stimulation jobs

successfully.

3- Fluid Characterization and Asphaltene Precipitation Study

Working on PVT data analysis, SARA tests data, heavy fraction

characterization, EOS tuning and modeling, and analysis of spatial and

depth variations of fluid properties. In Azadegan heavy Oil-field there are

several horizontal well that produce under-expected rate with high BHFP. I

have used PVTsim-software and study the probability of asphaltene

deposition.

4- Study of Water Production Problems and Solutions

Study of unwanted water production in 2 reservoirs, water coning,

channeling behind casing, calculation of optimum production rate, and

performance prediction after water breakthrough.

5- Rock mechanical earth modeling (MEM) study

Studying and investigation of more than 3 projects of MEM/GEM to calculate

fracture gradient and pore pressure in Ahwaz oil-field (wells number: AZ-

17, AZ-360, AZ-422, AZ-441, AZ-442) in order of determining of maximum

allowable injection rate.

6- Reservoir Characterization by Well Test and Production Log Analysis

Pressure and Rate Transient Data Analysis using analytical and numerical

methods of more than 300 wells in Asmari, Bangestan and Khami reservoirs of

Haftkel, Rage-sefid, Zilaee, Naft-sefid, Gachsaran, Ahwaz, Maroon, Azadegan

fields were analyzed including different well geometries, formation types,

reservoir fluid types, well/reservoir models, reservoir drive mechanisms,

drainage-area shape, well-test type.

Interpretation of several production log data in assesses of effective

reservoir thickness and flow profiling in Gachsaran-Asmari reservoir due to

high heterogeneous and fractured thickness profile.

7- Reservoir Dynamic Flow Behavior Analysis

In addition of pressure and rate transient data analysis, I've used R.T.A.

well-testing and Topaz-ecrin software to model, predict and forecast future

production.

8- Complex Pressure Transient Data Analysis

Extensive works on de-convolution algorithm for well-test data preparation

and modification for Rate Validation, Pressure Data affected by wellbore

storage and Extension of short-time Well-test Data.

9- Stimulation Candidate-well Selection

Submission of a new procedure in NISOC for candidate-well selection. This

project includes analysis of well-testing and modeling for more than 100

wells in different completions and specifications with complicated matching

of flowing bottom-hole pressure surveys. Study of Flowing and Static

Pressure-Temperature Surveys, RFT Reports and interpretation especially in

layered reservoir; Ahwaz-Sarvak, Daily Drilling report for mud loss info,

Full-set (conventional) Logs and GWL (graphical well log) Reports,

DSI/Image Logs Reports for fracture characterization, Core Analysis study

(SCAL/Routine Tests data), UGC/Structural Cross Plot View Maps, Well

performance sensitivity analysis due to several important parameters,

Pressure/Rate Transient data analysis to evaluate pre- and post-jobs

conditions, Interpretation of Production Log Data to evaluate pre- and post-

jobs conditions, Acid and water back-flow test for evaluation of acid-

performance.

10- Fracturing-job Design Study and Analysis

Pre-fracturing jobs study of well AZ-250 and AZ-268 based on strategy of

proper candidate-selection. In this work I've used Pipesim, Saphir and

Topaz software to study production performance and optimization analysis,

reservoir characterization and production forecasting. The wells also are

studied based on geo-mechanical properties. After that I've modeled

synthetic fracturing job using FracproPT software for consistency analysis

in aspect of stimulation engineering. The result was an official technical

report on PETROCHINA oil company proposal of these wells.

11- Matrix-acidizing and non-acid Treatment Design

Designing and evaluating stimulation-jobs including matrix-acidizing and

non-acid treatment (xylene/Gasoil injection to remove asphaltene deposition

from the wellbore, mutual solvent and surfactant treatments) of more than

100 wells consist of Ahwaz Bangestan hair-line Fractured Carbonate oil-

reservoir (sever BHFP drawdown due to fracture-depletion and dense-matrix

flow contribution), Ahwaz Asmary mixed layered sandstone-carbonate

reservoir (in order of start-up and operate of wells after drilling),

Gachsaran & Rage-sefid highly-fractured-carbonate reservoirs (water/gas

coning problems due to sever BHFP drawdown), Pazanan volatile-oil and

Maroon-Khami condensate reservoir (with most liquid-blockage problems due

to high BHFP drawdown), Azadegan heavy-oil-reservoir (Sarvak carbonate

reservoir with many horizontal-completion and strangely high BHFP drawdown.

using many stages in job-design)
