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.

Education

Master of Engineering Petroleum Reservoir Engineering, University

of Calgary, AB

Applied Bachelor Applied Bachelor of Petroleum Engineering,

SAIT, Calgary, AB

Bachelor Bachelor of Science, Normal University of

Tianjin, China
