Qualifications
Internationally experienced Chemical Engineer with significant level of experience in the oil refining, gas processing, NGL and LNG production industries. Background includes preparing road map for the development of the local petrochemical industry in Qatar. Acted as company process engineer representative during detail design at EPC Contractors offices in various multi-million dollar projects such as Saudi Refineries Upgrading, Methanol-MTBE, Ethane Cracker and most recently, in five Ras Gas (QP/ExxonMobil) grass-roots LNG plants.
Assisted project owners in technical aspects of contractual negotiations for new adopted technology in core projects. Participated in several technology evaluation teams for the selection of most cost-effective process in the production of ethylene, LNG, polyethylene, alpha olefins and other related derivatives. Completed several conceptual, feasibility and economic studies for the selection of best gas monetization strategy for company management. Participated in numerous Hazops as part of Company Technical Team at EPC Contractor Offices.

2005 – 2010 Ras Gas Company, Ltd. – Ras Laffan, Qatar
LNG Plant Process Engineer
Accomplishments
• Reviewed and monitored liquefaction unit design and construction for five LNG trains and two NGL plants.
• Participated in extensive “punching” activities in all LNG construction projects.
• Coordinated process licensors activities for NGL Recovery and Lean Gas Liquefaction.
• Monitored contractor and sub-contractor during field construction activities in the LNG plants.
• Reviewed field design changes by contractor in relation to adherence to project specifications and cost control.
• Coordinated several risk assessments for the LNG projects and monitored resulting mitigation measures implementation.
