Work History

Production Engineer

PEDEC
09.2017 - 03.2023
  • Monitored production, water injection, and gas lift well performance, including flow rates, water & gas injection rates, pressure, and temperature, to identify deviations and take corrective actions.
  • Analyzed and optimized oil and gas production and export processes, including 90k bbl/d light, 45k bbl/d heavy, and 100MMscf/d gas plants.
  • Planned and oversaw annual well surveillance operations, including Asphaltine removal, static and dynamic flowing surveys, well testing, PLT, stimulation, etc.
  • Coordinated Management of Change (MOC) Framework to manage operational changes and program deviations.
  • Established waste management procedures for Asphaltine removal, well testing, and well stimulation operations, ensuring efficient and environmentally friendly processes.
  • Planned and supervised annual production budget, cost control measures, and prepared tendering documents for procurement of services and equipment required for production activities.
  • Interpreted technical data such as wireline logs, pressure and temperature data, and production flow test data.
  • Prepared regular production reports to track performance metrics, well productivity, and production rates.
  • Developed hazard analysis and precaution measures procedures.

Well Engineer

OEID
07.2010 - 09.2017

⦁ Supervised and recorded drilling operations for 70 wells in vertical and horizontal trajectories with average 4400 m TVD.

⦁ Ran and interpreted CBL/VDL logging tools to evaluate well cement bonding condition and well integrity.

⦁ Conducted tubing material selection in HPHT and sour environments, supervised running completion strings for cased-hole and slotted liner wells, and set hydraulically and mechanically permanent packers.

⦁ Executed operation time analysis to identify lessons learned and optimize drilling and completion duration times.

⦁ Ensured all well activities complied with industry health, safety, and environmental standards.

⦁ Designed and supervised over-balanced/under-balanced TCP techniques to perforate production and disposal wells (net perforated interval 100 m).

⦁ Designed and supervised stimulation operations using Coiled Tubing Units (CTU) and bullheading techniques in sandstone and carbonate formations.

⦁ Supervised running and installed Gas Lift Valves (GLV) for low-pressure heavy crude wells (5 GLVs per well).

⦁ Ensured all well activities complied with industry health, safety, and environmental standards.

⦁ Supervised well testing, well stimulation, perforation, logging operations, and well suspension on-site.

⦁ Prepared final completion reports, including pre-assembly, workshop tests, well-site installations, and run completion string.

⦁ Managed and conducted Drill Stem Tests (DST), bottom-hole sampling, and coring to enhance static and dynamic reservoir models.

⦁ Developed hazard analysis, emergency procedures, and defined roles and responsibilities for well services operations.

⦁ Ensured adherence to company SOPs, as well as external regulations and laws, maintaining project compliance.

⦁ Executed cost control measures for well services and successfully negotiated disputed costs.

⦁ Conducted project meetings with clients and contractors, facilitating effective communication and collaboration.
