Search for and evaluate growth opportunities to support asset growth strategy.

Execute any work programs within approved budget.

Carry out technical and commercial evaluations of open and held acreage

Seeking technical and financial approvals though different processes.

Manage and integrate the output of geologists, geophysicists, petroleum engineers, well engineers and commercial personnel in order to make a coherent request for approval of projects and funding.

Review and adjust the field activities based on objectives and goals achieved.

Manage the daily reviews of operations and solve any problem while drilling.

Manage and follow up any operational activities (drilling, workover & deepening).

Manage and plan new locations (Vertical or horizontal wells) in either exploration or development areas.

Manage and direct any job related to the field i.e. Coring, Logging & Reservoir modelling studies.

Participate in complex field development planning to improve the production performance.

Participate in preparing the deepening & workover list to optimize the production.

German Oil Company (RWE) Senior Staff Geologist (Team Leader)

Egypt Office.

3 years (2001-2004)

3 oil fields have been improved as a result of data integration and evaluation.

Pennzoil Company Co. Senior Staff Geologist (Area Manager)

Egypt Office

5 years (1996-2001)

I did discover new oil fields in Gulf of Suez.

British Petroleum Co. Operation/Senior Geologist/ Geoscientist

oEgypt Office

o8 years (1985-1993)

oNew areas were discovered in Nile delta & Gulf of Suez.

Note : I did discovered new Gas field in Nile delta ( North of Cairo).

BP, German Oil Co. & Pennzoil Main Tasks:

1.Evaluation of Development areas (Gulf of suez and Nile Delta) and well planning for each of them to optimize production and reduce water cut that has been classified as one of the major challenges in the field. This task was done by remapping most of old maps with integration of all geological and production data. As a result of this task, new locations have been selected to delineate the reservoir. Some of them were drilled. Those drilled locations have achieved good results for Pennzoil.

2.Evaluate and supervise any technical tasks related to logging, coring, Sedimentological studies, reservoir pressure, Geo-steering & LWD.

3.A sequence stratigraphic study was performed for one of the blocks in the Nile delta. This task was done for RWE/Dea. The aim of it was to define the number of sequences by using wireline (GR/DT), sedimentological analysis and paleontological data. These results were integrated with seismic sequences defined from the seismic data. The result of this study was very significant for defining new drilling locations. These locations achieved very good reults and high profits.

4.3D modeling of 3 oil fields in Gulf of Suez. This task was performed for RWE/Dea to create static models (RMS) with different trials for each field. This static modeling included structural, facies and petrophysical modules. My goal had 2 tasks; supervise all modeling steps and QC the results with the well data. New locations, new intervals and workover jobs were recommended for each field as result of this work .

5.Geological and hydrocarbon Evaluation of Exploratory areas (i.e. Upper Egypt province). This task was done for BP and included 2 steps. The first step was the examination of stratigraphic succession, main reservoir intervals, source rock and seals while the second step was the integration of the seismic and geological data to define prospects. Reserve calculation, risk assessment and ranking were prepared for each prospect prior to drilling. BP’s recommendations for this area were used to find new oil targets. Upper Egypt is now one of the major oil provinces in Egypt.

6.Seismic Sequence Stratigraphy study for North Sinai offshore. This project was also performed for BP and included the integration of well and seismic data with the sedimentological analysis to predict the distribution of sand bodies in the area. Seismic sequence techniques were applied and mapped to define the sand distribution of each sequence.

7.Field trip leader for BP/ Pennzoil expatriate staff to Sinai.

8.Coatching Title: This has been assigned to me through many tasks in KGOC, RWE/DEA, PENNZOIL & BP, as follows:

8.1.Training of UD’s Geologists:

8.2.Supervisor for UMP projects.

8.3.Manager of WAMD safety team in 2006.

8.4.Area Manager for one of blocks in Gulf of Suez, Egypt.

8.5.Field trip leader in BP & Pennzoil.

8.6.Team leader for 3D modeling project in Gulf of Suez field.
