Summary:
A specialist in reservoir engineering, reservoir simulation, and well log analysis with an extensive experience. Strong technical skills from field operations to development of complex simulators: flow in pipeline and flow through porous media. Was in charge of projects in the United States, North Africa, the Middle East, South America and Europe
Experience:
2008 Occidental Lead Simulation engineer Abu Dhabi, UAE I used Eclipse with Oxy in Abu Dhabi, UAE on the BAB reservoir CO2 injection project. Oxy had already contacted LandMark Graphics to do initial work using their VIP simulator, whereas ADCO were using Eclipse for the same work. The idea was to use data used with Eclipse and run them on VIP to check results simply because Oxy did not have access to all the necessary data.

2008 ExxonMobil Sr. Simulation engineer Houston, TX
Mainly working on the North Caspian Effort: Tangiz - Kashagan Reservoirs, Kazakhstan. These are very complex fractured carbonate reservoirs with a difficult geology: a producing platform surrounded by a fractured rim with a steeping fractured flank, with complex high temperature, high pressure fluids above the critical point and a high H2S concentration. It is operated by Chevron with ExxonMobil 25 % share whose interest is OBO, i.e, Operated by Others. The object of the study is to estimate the hydrocarbons in place, to simulate this structure using the Eclipse Model and to compare results with the operator’s.
2008 Halliburton Sr. Consultant Cairo, Egypt
Worked mainly on West Nile Delta Pliocene gas reservoirs such as: Fayoum, Giza, Libra & Taurus. These reservoirs are channel type-reservoirs with excellent rock quality and complex geology. Used quite a bit of MDT and RFT readings to establish gas/water contacts and determine average reservoir pressure with the ultimate goal to estimate the original gas in place.
2007 PDVSA Sr. Consultant Maracaibo, Zulia, Venezuela
Responsible for reservoir developments, particularly in Lago Medio Lama Sur. Reviewed previous reservoir engineering reservoir simulation studies by CLI and The Weymann & Scotia Group. Begun review of all basic engineering data: PVT, core analysis and scal, logs, production data to allocate the appropriate effluent quantity to the proper formation in these multi-layered reservoirs through the use of PLT log studies, study of water movements behind the casing. Proposed a slanted drilling program to produce the SE location to avoid as long as possible the water production.
2006 Knowledge-Reservoir Sr. Consultant Houston, TX
Worked mostly on this tight gas reservoir, Wamsutter, WY.for the account of BP. Spent considerable time collecting and organizing all data: production, logs, core analysis, scal, (as BP themselves were in the process of updating their basic core interpretation), PVT, completion and recompletions, etc for the purpose of simulating a 3*15 miles reservoir section using VIP simulator. Geologically, Wamsutter is challenging; to the lenticular sand-shale sequences there are also coal intercalations.
2005 Pemex Expert Advisor Dos Bocas, Tabasco, Mexico
Served as Expert Advisor to PEMEX Management in regard to their GOM offshore dozen oil/gas fields. These are fractured carbonate mostly gas reservoirs, therefore their analysis is quite complex. While well testing through Saphir and PanSystem overwhelmingly indicate a dual porosity reservoir system, petrophysicists tend not to agree with the interpretation. Mentoring younger Pemex engineers
As these fields are offshore in shallow Gulf waters and most have not been connected to land, advised Pemex as to the best way to connect the fields among themselves and to shore.
1995-2005 Sonatrach Sr. Lead Engineer Algiers-Houston, TX
Responsible for reservoir development, reservoir simulation and well log interpretation.
Technical skills include reservoir simulation, well log analysis, reservoir pressure maintenance, appraisal of computing facilities and installation of black oil simulator, course work in reservoir simulation and well log interpretation. Software: Vertical and horizontal, single and multiphase hydrocarbon flow in pipes using existing correlation’s, the black oil model and geophysical rock typing model.
Recommanded field pressure maintenance for giant Hassi-Messaoud with gas and water injection.
Recommended field pressure maintenance with water injection for such oil fields in Libya as Dor Merada, Lehib and Zelten.
1992-1995 Intercomp Sr. Staff Consultant Houston, TX
Responsible for the maintenance and management of the black oil model and its subsequent licensing and training to clients in the US, South America and the Middle East.
Actively involved in the development of the black oil model (60,000 lines of FORTRAN code). The black oil model is a large mathematical tool used to simulate the energy history of a reservoir (oil, gas and water). Based on the history, it is used to forecast schemes of energy production.
1989- 1992 Schlumberger, Interpretation Development Houston, TX
Sr. Staff Specialist
Responsible for reservoir development and well log analysis with particular emphasis on the Production Logging Tool (PLT). PLT consists of several simultaneous measuring sensors.
Developed software for the accurate pressure survey which enabled the determination of the energy potential and problems associated with oil / gas well under consideration.
The software was tested in Prudhoe Bay Field, Alaska. Proposed to use the PLT information in conjunction with all other telemetric information derived from other sensors to produce a synergetic image of the reservoir.
Interaction with the Schlumberger - Doll Research, Ridgefield, Connecticut and Schlumberger, Paris, France resulted in the selection of the VIP model of J.S. Nolen & Associates. Carried out the systematic testing and debugging of the model, which was in the development stage. Acquisition was recommended.
Conducted PLT course work for oil Companies engineers.
