SUMMARY OF ACHIEVEMENTS
I have several achievements to my credit which I have achieved during my time with various companies. Some are mention below.
I worked for 22 years in ZADCO operating the world’s fourth largest offshore oil field. With my extensive experience in Oil and Gas industry, I was selected to be part of team engaged in start-up of oil production from multi billion dollar offsore articial islands project with wells and production facilities. I was overseeing intelligent wells completions comprising of ICDs, PDHGs, DTS, GL, with surface data acquisition and further transmission to H/Q.
While being part of the team, I developed the intelligent well equipment specifications, evaluated the equipment from different vendors, prepared field mock-up and tested realtime data acquisition, saving the company couple of million dollars in consultant costs.
My expertise in engineering and management of operations in Oil and Gas Field were fully utilized when I solely undertook responsibility for ZADCO’s waste water disposal system, saving the company the cost of multiple engineers. This included wells start-up, performance monitoring, wells modeling, intervention programs: Workovers, Coiled Tubing operations, acidization, surface piping design, pipeline network modeling and instrumentation. I was selected as member of DSP and FEED for upgrading the Disposal system, thus with my expertise in operations I modified the surface equipment set-up to provide optimum operational ease to the operations crew and instrumentation to cater for realtime monitoring.
While being part of allocation group in ZADCO, we were faced with the challenge to help reservoir team solve simulation errors and history matching. It was narrowed down to gas allocation error. I single handedly resolved the issue by recalculating and rerunning allocation from the period when Gas Injection started which jeopardized the allocation process causing simulation errors. This saved the company couple of months and substantial amount of money to engage outside contractor to solve the issue.
I was selected completions engineer in the development of a new gas field in Pakistan while working for PPL. I was responsible to commission the gas field on time which included wells completion, surface completions, pipeing network, dehydration plant with offtakes metering, instrumentation with emergency shutdown of wells, wells testings, logging and numerous other operations. I was able to complete all the tasks of the multi-million dollar project on time and was made the field incharge overseeing a contingent of more than 40 personel requiring mentoring and supervision of operations.
