Technical focal point for Cementing operations. Completed Casing Equipment Sales Training at Halliburton Manufacturing Plant (M1), Johor, MY - December ‘22Completed and attained top of the class in Halliburton’s Advanced Cementing global training course conducted in Dubai, UAE - February ‘23Certified DIANA Finite Element Analysis (FEA) user. Attended Halliburton's internal training course for WellLife analysis conducted virtually from Houston, USA - July '23Operations ExperienceNoble’s Viking at Rotan-2, Sabah MY (1x Appraisal Well) - Deepwater campaign for a major operator in Malaysia using the HGS-8000X glass beads as lightweight cement used in the top-hole section. Borr’s Idun at Nafiri-1, Sarawak MY (1x Exploration Well) - Completed a 5 string HPHT exploration wellBorr’s Idun at Bekok AA, Peninsular MY (2x Development Wells) - Implemented the utilization of EZ FLO II within cement mixtures, resulting in decreased bulk transfer losses. This approach offers customers an economical resolution while concurrently diminishing carbon emissions in cement manufacturing.Borr’s Idun at Bekok A4, Peninsular MY - (1x Well Control Condition)- Effectively achieved HC isolation within the perforated 9-5/8" casing by employing the pump and pull cement plug technique. This involved pumping an 11ppg Tuned Light cement plug through a 1.5" coil tubing inserted inside a 3.5" production tubing.- Considering the well's specific well control challenges, a comprehensive internal critical well review (CWR) was conducted in collaboration with Halliburton Global. This thorough assessment ensured that all processes and associated risks were carefully evaluated before proceeding with the cement job.Borr's Idun at Bekok AA-19, Peninsular MY (1x Gas Injector Well) - Implemented the use of a lightweight slurry design (Tuned Light slurry) for the production casing to manage ECD during planning phase - target to ensure no losses observed during cementing operations.

Responsible for: - - Delivering comprehensive engineering services in hydraulic simulations by analyzing and utilizing well data to optimize operational outcomes.- Developing slurry and spacer designs that align with customer requirements while ensuring cost-effectiveness.- Facilitating the coordination and preparation of all bulk cement, cementing chemicals, and equipment, ensuring their readiness for deployment in job operations.Operations Experience Borr's Idun at Bakau NAG, Sarawak MY. (3x Development Wells) - Provided engineering services for cementing operations, utilizing an optimized conventional offline cementing setup for the top-hole and intermediate sections. This effectively minimized non-productive time (NPT) and resulted in cost savings by reducing rig hours.- Incorporated Super CBL EXP (expansive additive) and Lost Circulation Cement Spacer in the crucial 7 x 4-1/2in Liner section to guarantee optimal cement coverage for effective zonal isolation in sand formations. Sapura's SKD Pelaut at Kumang East, Sarawak MY. (2x Development Wells) - Assisted a Sr. Technical Professional in operation requirements. - Implemented a dual stage cementing technique and employed a LC spacer to attain the desired top of cement level and fulfill zonal isolation requirements while effectively managing the anticipated loss zone.Borr's Idun at Bekok BB & AA Wells, Peninsular MY. (7x Development Wells) - Delivered engineering services in cementing, emphasizing both conventional offline cementing and dual barrier offline cementing. This comprehensive approach significantly minimizes the risk of non-productive time (NPT) and enhances operational efficiency.- In the depleted 9-5/8" Production section, the application of Super CBL EXP (expansive additive) and a LC Spacer was employed to facilitate and guarantee a strong cement bond formation. Simultaneously, this approach effectively mitigated the risk of any potential losses during the cementing process.
