Work History
Senior Cosnsultant Petrleum Geologist
Saudi Aramco
02.1988 - 11.2024
- A leading senior consultant in the Peer Reviews(PR) and Multi-Disciplinary Technical Review(MTR) assessing all upcoming Projects in Exploration Organization & Petroleum Engineering, Workflows are well established governing the different technical disciplines : Geophysics, Geology, Petrophysics and Petroleum Engineering throughout different millstones using well defined technical Guidelines and including a technical rating criteria.
- Play a major role in the Internal Technical Reviews ( ITR) , Project Assist Reviews and workshops that are designed to promote professionals internally within the Geological Departments or petroleum Engineering departments to advise on project shorcomings in terms of the data integration, work quality and meeting the reviewers pass criteria.
- Implemented high quality control measures to ensure consistency and reliability in collected data sets, data interpretation and data outcomes during fieldwork project assignments such as Exploration Discoveries and Integrated Reservoir Studies(IRS).
- Technical engagement during the daily operation meeting discussion involving in the exploratory and workover drilling wells where involvement in the meeting could add values that are taking place in technical recommendations, data interpretation and overcoming difficult operation situations.
- Mentored junior and senior geologists by sharing expertise and providing guidance on project tasks, fostering a supportive work environment.
- Conducted comprehensive geophysical & geological studies for accurate subsurface characterization and hydrocarbon resource estimation in conventional and unconventional reservoirs.
- Maintained up-to-date knowledge of industry innovations and trends, attending conferences and workshops for continuous professional growth.
- Improved reservoir characterization work accuracy by implementing advanced techniques and technologies in data collection and utilization,
- Used geological knowledge and expertise to lead the way in new project assignments and management decisions,
- Developed comprehensive reports & presentations that are communicated in complex geological concepts, new geological applications and new technical maters to management and professionals effectively.
- Provided valuable insights into reservoir characterization, reservoir management, optimizing production rates and recovery strategies.
- Performed detailed geotechnical analyses for infrastructure projects, reducing risks associated with underground data limitation and conditions during project construction and reviews which took place mainly in Initial Public Offering (IPO) projects: 2D resource assessment projects and 3D resource assessment projects. Defined the workflow guidelines at different stages through the report submission of project acceptance and passing criteria.
- Evaluated many technical projects in hydrocarbon resource assessment as part of ongoing 2D and 3D model’s projects for Annual Pore Volume Report ensuring high technical confidence practices were followed deploying the Saudi Aramco Guidelines and major international societies such as SPE (PRMS).
- Coordinated project data readiness and feedbacks to external auditors such as international agency and consulting firm to facilitate smooth project execution processes.
- Identified hydrocarbon resources opportunities and potentials through the ongoing annual projects by utilizing all existing technical inputs to contribute into the additional reserves in well defined legitimate technical methods.
- Part of the improvement processes within the Exploration organization, Review meetings were conducted on regular bases to review and enhance existing milestones, workflows and scoring rates.
- Collaborated with multidisciplinary teams to develop integrated models of oil and gas fields for better decision-making processes, Worked in the first asset-team project in Saudi Aramco. Furthermore, many gas and oil field projects have been constructed using different applications & platforms and ensure utilization of all available subsurface data efficiently.
- Constructed 3D geological models in different fields and reservoirs within the Kingdom. These models are either built for field development, reservoir simulation or reserve booking.
- Developed the first application platform in Saudi Aramco containing all pore volume and reserve figures, historical volumetrics since the start of Aramco. Built a comprehensive database, data indexing and data upload, The application is project based to handle the ongoing projects every year, After the compilation of projects, the final Pore Volume Book is produced to include all volumetric tables and pore volume maps.
- Developed an application that provided the visualization of all pore volumes maps per fields and reservoirs.
- Developed a system that provide a full information of all existing 3D geological models in the kingdom in GIS platform.
- Headed up different 3D modeling teams in gas and oil reservoirs as part of management development program.
- Led the groundwater study team for data analysis, aquifer studies and 3D groundwater models.
- Provided a detailed 3D geological modeling course to E&P professionals introducing fundamentals, data integration, data quality check, data assurance and Reserve validation.
