During this work period, I was a member of the technical consultation team based in Cairo and responsible for the company services in Egypt, the USA, Qatar, and Oman. My accomplishments are: - Field development planning of Farha South and Saiwan East fields in Oman for CC Energy in 2011. The FDP led to increasing the production from 500 BOPD to 14000 BOPD. - Successful mature asset evaluation and rejuvenation plan of Mexico’s Altamira heavy oil field that led to successful service contract award for Cheiron Energy followed by achieving production peak (9 times increase of the base production) after the successful implementation of the rejuvenation plan in 2012. - Successfully developed two technical courses (Applied Reservoir Engineering and Capillary Pressure) for Petroleum Development Oman (PDO).

Starting my career at Scimitar Production Egypt Ltd., I embraced the complex challenges of heavy oil fractured carbonate reservoirs at the Issaran Oil Field. This pivotal role enhanced my skills in optimizing field performance and economic outcomes.▪ 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬: Led reservoir characterization and modeling for strategic field development. Optimized thermal recovery for heavy oil projects, including several SAGD initiatives. Implemented a monitoring system for over 300 wells, enhancing operational efficiency.▪ 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐀𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬: Reduced development wells by 65% through optimal well spacing in the Dolomite reservoir. Significantly improved recovery factors and field economics in the Zeit Sand reservoir with CSS and steam flooding. Developed a data management tool for intensive operations monitoring, improving process efficiency.▪ 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬: Participated in field operations like fracture and acid stimulation, and production logging. Conducted history matching, future recovery projections, and sensitivity studies for SAGD operations. Designed strategies for complex reservoirs with multiple drive mechanisms.
