Summary of Qualifications
A professional reservoir Engineer with fifteen years successful experience
in reservoir characterization, reservoir management and development.
Focused on bottom line and results-oriented. Have a proven track record in:
. Perform identification for infill drilling locations,
workovers, and recompletions
. Run economics and risk analysis with "Peep" and
"crystalball"
. Execute pressure transient analyses and design with "Fast
Well Test" and "Saphire"
. Establish and perform Reservoir simulation studies with
"Exodus" and "Eclipse"
. Conduct PVT analysis studies with PVTi
. Evaluate reserves with Volumetric, material balance,
decline curve analysis and advanced type curves analysis
with "Fast RTA" and "OFM"
. Log review and analysis of hydrocarbon zones
. Integrated studies of reservoir characterization
History and Experience
May, 2009 to Dec, 2009
Reservoir Simulation Consultant, WAHA oil Company, Tripoli,
Libya
. Perform water flooding reservoir simulation studies
. Make long range reservoir development plan
October, 2006 to March, 2009
Reservoir Engineer, Conocophillips Canada, Calgary, Alberta
Worked in the technical excellence team to support asset teams by solving
various technical problems
Reservoir simulation studies
. Alida - Tilston oil pool infill drilling and water flooding
simulation, Vauchope, SASK. The results turned to be nice
close to the study in terms of producing rate and pressure.
. Tight gas infill drilling locations evaluation, Ringborder,
BC. The new drillings showed the results that were expected
from simulation study.
. E McMurray formation water disposal simulation study,
Surmont oil sands, AB. The study demonstrated the
possibility of long range water disposal plan.
. Sour gas sulphur deposition simulation study, Foothills,
AB. The study, with the black oil model, suggested the type
of wellbore and the optimum producing rate. It prevented
reservoir pore from plugging and saved the life of wells.
Production data analysis and reserves booking
Advanced type curves analysis, flowing material balance, decline
analysis, analytical and numerical model simulation with OFM and
RTA to evaluate reserves, b value for Arp's decline, size of
drainage area, wells interference and reservoir pressure
profile.
Tight gas wells (Rock Creek, Montney, etc.), AB and BC
Reservoir characterization
. Lower Ground Rapid aquifer characterization, along with
pressure analysis, pressure transient analysis, geological
description, seismic data and reservoir fluid salinity to
evaluate permeability and identify barriers within the
reservoir, Surmont AB.
. Gas migration and aquifer encroachment study, Rimbey, AB.
The study predicted optimum gas production rate that will
eliminate or delay the workover.
October, 2001 to October, 2006
Consultant, ARC Resources Ltd. Calgary, Alberta
During this full time contract, worked on the exploitation activities and
technical support.
Reservoir simulation studies
. Madial waterflooding simulation study, Lougheed SASK
. Montney B waterflooding simulation study, Valhalla AB
. Montney tight gas infill drilling simulation, Dawson Creek
BC
Pressure transient analysis and submissions
. Pressure transient analysis for gas wells, Alberta and BC
. Fall off test analysis for injectors, Storthoaks Alid SASK
. Pressure transient analysis and AOF submission to EUB via
DDS
. New pool reserves evaluation and O-38 submission to EUB
Reserves and economics evaluation
Southern Alberta gas and oil pools
. Reserves evaluation with production decline analysis,
material balance and volumetric method
. Economic evaluation for re-completion, drilling and
acquisition
February, 1989 - June, 1997
Reservoir Engineer, Dagang Petroleum Corp., China
. Annual reserves evaluation and booking
. Make the long range development plan for existing pools and
manage budgets
. Work with geologist to evaluate and perform new drilling
program
. Monitor the production data and work with production
engineer to identify the opportunities of workover
. Coordinate projects with service companies
Computer skills
Proficient with a variety of computer programs including: Accumap, Acculog,
Peep, Geoscout, Microsoft Office, Exodus, Eclipse, Surfer, Fast Well Test,
FAST RTA, OFM and so on.
