EXPERIENCE:
7/10 to Present SUEZ OIL COMPANY (SUCO), RAS BUDRAN EGYPT
Petroleum Engineering & Production Operations Advisor (Rotational)
As advisor to team comprising production, maintenance, petroleum and projects engineering, materials services, etc., report to the General Manager on a wide range of surface and sub-surface engineering activities with the primary objective of optimizing production of offshore oil wells. Using field reconnaissance, production modeling, and other tools, determine opportunities for improvement, recommend work, and implement approved plans in the field. Wells are a mix of ESP and Gas Lift, with water injection providing partial reservoir pressure support.
6/08 to 7/10 KUWAIT OIL COMPANY (KUWAIT)
Consultant Petroleum Engineer
Provided expert advice and supervision while applying broad experience and skillset on all matters pertaining to the optimization of gas development and production, including:
• Field development
• Monitoring of well performance
• Stimulation design and execution
• Nodal analysis
• Pressure transient analysis
• Production forecast and management
• Subsurface and facilities integration
• Production enhancement strategy
• Production facility design
• Asset action planning
• Mentoring of junior engineers
• Budgeting
Asset area involved six gas and volatile-oil fields with a total production of 150 MMscfd and 50,000 BOPD from HPHT Jurassic reservoirs below 15,000 ft. Reservoirs were highly heterogeneous carbonates, compartmentalized by faults and stratigraphy, and highly naturally-fractured.
5/05 to 5/08 CHEVRON NORTH AMERICA E&P (BAKERSFIELD, CA)
Consulting Facilities Engineer (Contract)
Advised the Temblor Thermal Unit on two onshore thermal recovery projects. One was the installation of a new gauge setting (well test metering facility) and the other, a greenfield development involving horizontal and vertical wells where, in addition to classical steam flood, in-situ combustion was considered as a recovery method.
CHEVRON INT’L E&P (CABINDA GULF OIL COMPANY, LTD)
MALONGO, CABINDA, ANGOLA)
Senior Offshore Facilities Engineer (Rotational)
As Lead Engineer for the Malongo Asset Integrity Team (MAIT), provided hands-on Facilities Engineering support for ongoing activities in Chevron’s Block 0 offshore concession. Responsibilities included coordination and oversight of projects related to: internal corrosion of pipelines, painting activity, well jacket safety assessments/ structure upgrades, risers/pipeline repairs, intelligent and maintenance pigging, subsea inspections, and surveys/mapping. Worked directly with all disciplines, departments, and authority levels to ensure that projects were executed in a timely and cost-effective manner.
CHEVRON INT’L E&P (HOUSTON, TEXAS)
Senior Facilities Engineer
As Functional Lead for Facilities Engineering in a multi-disciplinary team consisting of exploration, drilling, reservoir, and production engineering, contributed to the maturation of new field development projects in Angola’s Block 0. Activities included: facility engineering input for conceptual, feasibility, and early FEED definition including project feasibility analysis, notional field development concepts, cost estimating, field development alternatives generation and selection, preferred alternative optimization, and input into basis of design. Facilities were a mix of satellite field tie-ins to existing infrastructure (brown-field work) and new dedicated facilities (green-field work).
3/04 to 2/05 GAFFNEY, CLINE & ASSOCIATES (HOUSTON, TEXAS)
Senior Professional (Petroleum Consultant)
As petroleum engineering and technical advisor, provided hands-on analyses to clients in wide range of projects domestically and throughout the world. Typical projects included:
• Identification and analysis of requirements for major Middle East field upgrade involving artificial lift (gas lift & ESPs), reservoir pressure maintenance strategies (water flood and gas injection), well stimulation (acidizing and fracturing), surface facility enhancement (compression, gathering, and distribution), and conformance (formation water shut-off)
• Technical and economic analysis of reserves and field development scheme for West Africa offshore prospect
• Recommendations for mature tight-gas field upgrade in Eastern Europe
• Field development cost analysis and compensation recommendations to national oil company for onshore/offshore public offerings in southern Gulf of Mexico. Required extensive cross-border analysis of S. Texas development schemes, especially in and around Texas RRC Dist. 4.
• Spillover benefits study for a local government involving major deepwater gas pipeline in the Timor Sea and associated onshore LNG facility development
Other international and domestic projects executed which involved drawing on a broad experience and skillset where ability to view the whole picture from reservoir to sales point was essential.
10/03 to 2/04 INTEROIL CORP (CAIRNS, AUSTRALIA)
Manager, Petroleum Engineering
Based in Cairns, participated in the early field development of company’s concession in the remote highlands of Papua New Guinea. Still in the exploration phase of development, provided hands-on support for well testing activities, including test design, identification and coordination of personnel and materials, and field execution.
4/91 to 8/03 SAUDI ARABIAN OIL COMPANY (DHAHRAN, SAUDI ARABIA), PRODUCTION & FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
N.A. Fields Development Engineer (9/02 to 8/03)
Was responsible for development and exploitation of all Northern Area onshore oil fields. Primary project was the development of a 500 MBD production increment from Fadhily, Abu Hadriya, and Khursaniyah fields. Work involved: development of surface network models, determination of appropriate operating conditions for wells and surface systems, identification of surface piping requirements, and specification of major system requirements of downstream plant. All work involved risk and economic analyses of production alternatives in a team environment.
Gas Plant Upstream Development Engineer (12/99 to 9/02)
Primary responsibility was Lead Engineer for upstream facilities development for the Haradh Gas Plant, a major grass-roots facility designed to deliver 1.6 BCF/D of non-associated gas from South Ghawar and satellite gas fields.
Specific work assignments included: steady-state and transient modeling of upstream production facility networks; facilities engineering and design; close liaising with, and coordination and monitoring of, Project Management teams and Petroleum Engineering organizations; and obtaining and tracking of funding for finite project elements.
