SUMMARY Considerable progressive and diversified experience as a Staff and Consultant Petroleum/Reservoir Engineer in Calgary and Overseas (Yemen, USA, Mexico, Libya, UAE and Nigeria). Broad and varied background includes: Reservoir Planning and Development, Reservoir Management, Reservoir Monitoring and Optimization of oil and gas fields; Reservoir Engineering Studies, Simulation and Evaluations through Feasebility, Follow up, Operating Strategy for field development; Secondary Oil Recovery (SOR) or Pressure Maintenance by Water Injection or Waterflood and Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) projects; Reserves Determination and Update; Enhancing corporate growth through Acquisition, Consolidation and Disposal of assets; Mentoring, Training and Guidance to junior staff.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
FIELD DEVELOPMENT, MANAGEMENT, OPTIMIZATION AND WATER/GAS INJECTION OF OIL AND GAS FIELDS IN ALBERTA, BRITISH COLUMBIA, SASKATCHEWAN AND OVERSEAS
Maximized oil and gas recovery for a wide range of projects covering Light, Medium and Heavy Oil as well as gas fields in Alberta, B.C., Saskatchewan and Overseas which produced 300 to 35000 BOPD and up to 20 MMSCFD. Major duties were: Reservoir Management, Reservoir Monitoring and Reservoir Surveillance via Well/Field Optimization of Primary and Waterflood operations, Water Supply and Quality (Fresh Water, Produced Water, Mixed Water) for Water Injection and Disposal, development/infill drilling, balancing voidage repalcement ratio (VRR), modifying patterns, injection targets, redistribution of water, well conversions and workovers.
Key Projects: Provost Viking Waterflood Project, Countess Upper Mannville Waterflood Project, Weasel Halfway Waterflood Unit No.1, Cherhill Banff H Unit No.1, North Eureka Waterflood Unit, Coleville South Bakken Heavy Oil Pool, Ricinus D-3A and Clark Lake Slave Point Project, Ghani Zenad Farrud carbonate reservoir in Libya, En Naga Gir reservoir in Libya, Bolontiku Offshore Field in Gulf o f Mexico, Camarao and Sardinha Offshore Fields in Brazil, Hiswah Field of low permeability carbonate fractured reservoir in Yemen and Egwa Waterflood in Nigeria.
Generated development, capital and operating expense budgets up to $20 million.
Planned, organized and presented development proposals and performance reviews to Management, Working Intereset Owners and Technical Meetings for approval, implementation and progress reports.
Made submission to the regulatory agencies such as Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB), Saskatchewan Energy and Mines (SEM) and National Oil Corp. (NOC) for field development, implementation of water/gas injection and EOR projects, allowables, expansion of EOR projects, off target drilling and penalty relief.
EVALUATIONS FOR ACQUISITION AND DIVESTITURE
M. RAHMATH / Page 2
Enhanced corporate growth through acquisition, consolidation, disposal, farmin and farmout of assets in the range of $500 thousand to $25 million.
Conducted evaluations with economics and risk analysis ranging from $50 thousand to $50 million and recommended proposals for exploitation and exploration drilling, Joint Venture
Proposals, unitization, completion, workovers, abandonment and land purchases.
RESERVES DETERMINATION AND UPDATE
Determined and updated original oil and gas in place as well as reserves in the range of 700 MMSTB and 900 BCF respectively for various oil and gas fields in North America and Overseas by conducting Volumetric, Material Balance including MBAL, Probabilistic Volumetric (PROVOL), Decline Curve Analysis and Simulation Studies.
Increased oil and gas reserves in the range of 10 to 30 MMSTB and gas reserves of 44BCF by reclassifying from Probable and Possible to Proved Reserves.
Revised and booked reserves for corporate Annual Reserves Reporting following guidelines of SEC in USA, NI 51-101 in Canada, SPE and Other Reporting in Overseas.
Updated reserves on semiannual and annual basis for PUD, POSS and PROB reserves. Upgraded reserves from PROB and POSS to PUD.
Planned, organized and presented reserves and review/report to Management, Working Interest Owners and Reserve Auditors/Reserve Committee/Planning Department for approval and submission.
ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY (EOR)
Revised a reservoir engineering study to implement a $40 million gas miscible flood project in the Caroline Cardium Pool. Submitted Royalty Relief Application and obtained Approval for this tertiary oil recovery scheme from AE&NR.
Reviewed and monitored performance of the non-operated Fireflood Pilot in the Countess Upper Mannville Pool, resulting in a million dollar savings in the discretionary spending. Revised operator's proposals to optimize production and pilot expansion, which increased the Pilot earnings by 20%.
Implemented a multi well tracer program to evaluate tertiary oil recovery scheme in the Provost Viking Waterflood Project. Screened and initiated a laboratory study for the viability of micellar flood to recover one million barrels of tertiary oil.
Conducted scoping studies/evaluations for initiating/updating Tertiary Oil Recovery and Tracer Survey program for Provost Viking and Ghani/Zenad Farrud Waterflood Projects.

PILOT PROJECT, PROJECT MANAGEMENT, TRAINING AND MENTORING
Planned, implemented and monitored Pilot Projects (for Ghani/Zenad mixed water injection,En Naga Dual Water Injector/Producer, Provost Viking Waterflood and Countess Fireflood) to confirm oil recovery factor and viability of field wide expansion.
Carried out laboratory studies for minimum miscibility pressure (MMP), chase gas requirement and Water Alternating Gas (WAG), slug design, PVT and Phase Diagram or by simulation via Equation of State ((EOS).
Prepared Scope of Work and Contract Documents for bidding and evaluation of bids.
Provided training, support and guidance to number of junior staff. Prepared and recommended professional development training /study and technology transfer programs.
Provided technical support to Exploitation, Exploration and Operations to manage daily activities.
