• Assess optimal reservoir management, development and surveillance strategies for the Rumaila Main Pay and Mishrif reservoirs (86 BBO OOIP). Oversee technical reservoir management of two substantial pilot projects in the Zubair formation, 1) Produced Water Reinjection (PWRI) project and 2) the Upper Shale Water Injection Project (USWIP). Mentored 6 young Iraqi professionals in fundamentals of reservoir engineering.

• Constructed a CMG IMEX black oil model of Cobalt’s Angola deepwater Pre-Salt carbonate oil discovery (Orca) importing static properties from a Petrel model prepared by my geoscience teammates. Attached to Gap production, water injection and gas injection surface network models and controlled 20 wells through Resolve. After history-matching DST performance in two wells, a range of full-field development performance profiles and ultimate recoveries were predicted in order to inform FPSO facilities design and an optimal development plan.• Mentored young Angolan reservoir engineer in nodal analysis, probabilistics, reservoir simulation, economics, etc and have been teaching her to think critically and to ask open-ended questions of her team mates. Emphasized to her the need for integration of all the disciplines to accurately describe the problem or the opportunity the team seeks to solve. • Prepare conceptual development plans and probabilistic rate profiles for recent Angola deepwater Pre-Salt discoveries in blocks 9, 20 and 21. • Build worldwide analogue database for carbonate reservoirs relevant to Angola Pre-Salt in order to establish range of uncertainty on oil, gas and condensate recovery factors, reserves per well and spacing per well. • Support MDT/RDT and DST operations on exploratory wells and predict anticipated flow rates during DST and permanent completion scenarios.

• Assess optimal reservoir management, development and surveillance strategies for the Rumaila field in order to increase field production from the current 1.4 mmbopd to 2.4 mmbopd by 2017.• Work with ROO Operations, Developments and BP-Sunbury in starting full-field water injection in the giant Mishrif carbonate reservoir.• Mentored and promoted development of promising Iraqi & Chinese (CNPC) reservoir engineering staff in the subjects of material balance, nodal analysis, surveillance, metering, allocation and waterflood expertise. Assessed gaps in skills and experience. Recommended appropriate training, exposure to and development of skills in relevant software, next assignments in their development as technical experts. Built relationships with Iraqi and Chinese management and promoted plans for development of talented staff.

• Actively led 14 reservoir engineers (Argentine nationals, Columbian, Venezuelan & US expats, both men and women) to evaluate and recommend development of 3 “GasPlus” reservoirs in the Neuquen basin, aggressively ramping-up production in 2010 to meet a 50 mmcfd contract starting January 1, 2011. Argentina’s Secretary of Energy approved higher gas prices for these reservoirs due to challenged development economics and a need for domestic production. The fields are technically difficult, low-permeability, fractured volcanics which require multiple hydraulic fracture stimulations to achieve adequate initial rate. Had to increase drill rigs from two in January to five by year-end 2010 to achieve goal and avoid deliver-or-pay issues. • Led a multi-disciplinary team to apply state-of-the-art, brute-force uncertainty simulation to identify an optimal development plan for the La Sara waterflood in Tierra del Fuego.• Led 2 engineers in conceptual development planning & risked valuation of numerous conventional oil & gas exploration targets. • Participated in Neuquen basin unconventional gas regional assessment, screening and prospect identification. • Responsible to manage $250+ million in 2010 capital spending and $335+ million in 2011.• Responsible to track the performance of Apache Argentina’s 2010 capital investment. Apache will achieve its highest return on investment in 2010 delivering superior value to our shareholders despite the challenges of state control of oil & gas prices and higher costs driven by strong unions.• Architect of a 5-year plan to double Apache Argentina’s net production by 2016.

• Responsible for engineering support of Brazil and China deepwater exploration efforts. Coordinated a multi-disciplinary process to consistently assess the risk and value of Brazil and China deepwater prospects for inclusion in an exploration portfolio. • Established a consistent methodology for determining Brazil deepwater minimum commercial field size. Built analogue databases of fields similar to Brazil’s deepwater Pre-Salt and Post-Salt regions as well as China’s deepwater South China Sea. • Evaluated the merits of acquiring a fully probabilistic software package (Geox) to improve exploration and development decision-making. • Evaluated the long-term economic benefits of various artificial lift alternatives for Brazil deepwater developments so that an optimal type can be chosen.

• Responsible for development planning of the giant Yem-Yegavskoye field in Western Siberia. I led a Russian-American, multi-disciplinary team of engineers, geoscientists and contractors. Our initial objective was to build representative geological and dynamic simulation models of the subsurface so that we could recommend an optimal development plan for this large waterflood of 1,100 wells. Using Petrel, Eclipse 100 and MEPO, several history-matches were achieved in segment models containing 200-300 wells each with approximately 25 years of production history. Streamline models (FrontSim) were built for each history-matched model which predicted a range of additional oil recovery (up to 25%) could be achieved if water injection was simply redistributed to more "oil efficient" injection wells. This recommendation would result in decreasing water injection to ineffective injectors which were just cycling the water to offset producers and would increase water injection to injectors which were more effective at sweeping oil to offset producers. • Coached and mentored Russian engineers and geoscientists to integrate their work such that all available static and dynamic data was honored as models were constructed of a western Siberian oilfield. • Co-led a leadership development program of young Russian talent where English was used exclusively as we studied and discussed General Patton’s leadership traits as it related to the business world. • Identified a north-south directional permeability trend in the Yem-Yegavskoye field which was cycling water needlessly between injectors and producers. Waterflood patterns which had injectors aligned with producers in the north direction recovered significantly less oil than patterns which had injectors oriented with producers in the east-west direction.

• Led a multi-national, multi-disciplinary team of 14 engineers and geoscientists in the development of Kuwait’s two oilfields (Abdali and Ratqa) which share the border with Iraq. The team handles a high level of rig activity dealing with 2 drilling rigs and 2 workover rigs. All wells are lifted with Electric Submersible Pumps (ESP). Coordinated all ESP design and installation as well as all workovers, recompletions, stimulations, wireline and coiled tubing activities with Drilling and Completions staff. • Successfully integrated and led a multi-disciplinary team of about 30-40 people from four Kuwait national companies (KPC, KOC, KNPC, KISR) in planning a very large, heavy-oil development of the giant Ratqa Lower Fars reservoir (12 bbo OOIP). A significant effort was made to build relationships among individuals of the different companies to share data and insights with the entire team for the benefit of all. Participants of each company were influenced to collaborate and cooperate with each other in non-competitive ways teaching them to ask the right questions of their teammates and to understand how their piece of the project might affect the work of other team members. Together, the team agreed to a unified stage gate project plan where all companies and team members advanced from stage to stage together in unison. The initial stage of the project was recommended in December, 2005 for $110 mm consisting of subsurface and surface studies, drilling 10 data wells, running 3D seismic, and installing facilities to operate a cold heavy oil primary production pilot.• Introduced performance management processes to KOC’s New Fields Team to improve business performance in the following areas: production, ESP runlife, well downtime, shut-in oil potential, workover results, new well results, and reserve progression.

• As a reservoir engineer within a multi-disciplinary, multi-cultural team, I recommended developing the Wollaston and Whittle gas discoveries with 2 new subsea wells.

• Evaluated Aqua Marine East exploration prospect. The success of this stratigraphic play will also open-up other similar plays in the GOS.• Built a value-based GOS exploration portfolio based on anticipated reserves, rates, risks, drilling costs, facilities costs, and economics by concession. Helped BP-Amoco to understand the value of continued exploration in the GOS and was key in procuring $23 MM funding for exploration in year 2000.• Simulated the GS365 Matulla reservoir with a GCOMP reservoir model for additional development potential.• Provided engineering, risk, decision tree, and economic input to the Titan Nubia exploration prospect. A discovery in the Nezzazat was made.• Evaluated the October J Nukhul exploration prospect. Target was reached by drilling about 2,000 feet deeper for minimal incremental cost. A small oil discovery was made in the Hawara formation.

• Exploitation reservoir engineer in the October Asset Team, a multi-cultural, multi-disciplinary team of engineers, geologists, geophysicists, petrophysicists, drilling engineers and facility engineers responsible for development of GUPCO’s October field. After adding over $400 MM of present value to shareholders in 1996-1997 through significantly improved work processes, co-location of team members, a centralized PC engineering database and world-class technological leadership, the team represented GUPCO at the 1998 Progress Share Fair in Orlando, Florida.
