Drilling Engineer
CurrentAt Petrotel Inc., I oversee multidisciplinary engineering support for exploratory vertical, directional, and extended reach drilling (ERD) wells. My responsibilities include ensuring operations comply with safety standards, legal requirements, and environmental policies. I develop detailed well designs incorporating advanced predictive models for pore pressure and fracture gradients, alongside managing comprehensive well cost estimates. I craft procedural plans for critical operations such as cementing, casing, and liners and promote real-time data analytics to enhance drilling operation accuracy. Additionally, I manage the logistical aspects of equipment maintenance and supply ordering, ensuring project requirements are met, and collaborate with crew leaders to communicate work plans, facilitating safe and prompt project completion.Also, I design different completion and fracture strings, and approve designs from suppliers for various completion and drilling products, such as packers, SSDs, sub-surface safety valves, wellheads, Christmas trees, liner hangers, liner tiebacks, tubing, casing.I am skilled in onshore drilling operations, workover and completions operations, drilling optimization, project management, rig sizing calculations and selection, casing design, BHA design, directional drilling skills, drilling fluids (OBM & WBM), PDC and roller cone bits, casing, liner systems, cementing, real-time operations, budgeting and AFE, leadership skills, technical and commercial bids evaluation, data analysis, problem-solving, time management, and planning.
