Professional experience

Exploration Geoscientist with ten years oil field experience in reservoir evaluation, reservoir characterisation, operations management (exploration and Development Company)

Good background in reservoir geology.

Started career as structural geologist (2005-2008), in 2008 I became junior Geologist in gas and oil field of the Sahara platform (clastic reservoir of Tin Foué Tabankort and alrar fields)

In the reservoir Management Domain, I assist in planning and conducting wireline logging operation.

In the early years, I moved on to TELL-OFFSHORE oil Field (carbonate Reservoir) where I assist in planning coring and logging programs for reservoir characterisation of carbonates and open hole log interpretation to maximize the understanding of complexes variation in pore geometry and predict performance in terms of recovery amount and time. Determine hydrocarbon volume by computing the volume of pay flow unit and I did numerous fildtrip.

Moved on again to other platform gas fields (classic reservoir of Ahnet field), in exploration activities involved both in domestic and international projects.

Familiar with placement LWD for geosteering working with geologists and directional drillers, to maximize reservoir contact in horizontal wells (Hassi Messaoud)

Computer Skills

Geoframe package of log data evaluation (Unix Workstation- Elan).

Techlog (QUANTI ELAN, WELLBORE IMAGING)

Petrel ( seismic interpretation and correlation of well )

Interactive petrophysics on Windows XP.

IFP easy trace (Institut Français du petrol)

Windows: Word-Excel-Power Point-Photoshop

Spoken and written language

English, Arabic and fresh

Professional Skills

Prepare cost-effective logging and coring programs for exploration and appraisal and development wells.

Log quality control

Construct and update petrophysical Model for shaly clastic and carbonate reservoirs.

Open and cased hole petrophysical analysis of shaly clastic carbonate rock.

Assessment of distribution of shale (Thomas stieber Method).

Perform Neural Network/Fuzzy logic/Multi-linear regression technique for curve prediction when data is missing using techlog reservoir software.

Log Normalization to remove systematic errors.

Cluster analysis to produce electrofacies log to be used in multiwall correlation.

Processing and interpretation of borehole images / dipmeter data using techlog software

Structural analysis (structural dip determination, walkouts, faults identification…)

Borehole Breakout analysis, In Situ stress analysis.

Fracture characterization: Open fractures, closed fractures and mixed fractures; identification on both acoustic and resistivity images (CBIL, EARTH Imager and STAR).

Sedimentological analysis (Paleo-courant analysis, depositional analysis, facies analysis with core integration).

Geomechanics and Reservoir Petrophysics

Reservoir monitoring for remedial to achieve specified plateau rates

Multiwell RFT Pressure Gradient plot

Integration of pressure profiles and mobility with petrophysics and fine –tuning the simulation to improve productivity.

PLT Interpretation (Temperature, Density, Spinner, capacitance, PNC and noise log).

Imagery tool

NMR Interpretation

Fractures characterization from borehole images to help determine the drilling path for maximizing open fracture.
