Egypt, Middle East

Business Development & Project Management▪ First to engineer to initiate a FORMATE MUD in the Middle East, successfully engineered, approved and validated by Saudi Aramco Petroleum Company in May 2005 in Saudi Arabia.▪ Successfully trained and evaluated five new drilling fluid engineers until they were capable of handling the different engineering assignments on several locations.▪ Established and implemented the mud program for oil well drilling that resulted in time record in reaching the target total depth.▪ Managed the chemical inventory through requesting, maintaining and back loading all the chemical products at the rig site. Customer Focus & Teamwork ▪ Utilized fluency skills in Arabic, both verbal and written, to successfully trained Saudi new oil rig crews and contractors working on ADC drilling rigs, in addition to Chinese crews and contractors on SINO drilling rigs.▪ Achieved a cost reduction up to 25% of the total drilling fluids cost in several locations.▪ Identified, reported, and replaced inefficient drilling fluids products, which led to improvement in treatment time and drilling fluids cost.▪ Developed flawless communication methods within the mud plant teams for loading and back loading drilling fluids, which led to the minimization in drilling time lost (Non Productive Time (NPT) improvement).Problem Solving & Experimentation ▪ Engineered effectively the application of lost circulation pills, up to (200 Ib/bbl), in critical formations.▪ Successfully instructed and engineered modifications in different mud systems on several oil rigs, which improved in drilling operations and NPT by expanding the pumping capabilities and optimizing the active cycling system.▪ Solved and handled both differential and mechanical stuck pipe problems using various grease pill recipes.▪ Managed various drilling fluids systems under critical oil well flow situations.
