Experienced and skilled to lead multidisciplinary team consisting of reservoir engineers, petro-physicists, geologists, drilling engineers and operation engineers. He has the expertise in Well-test analysis (Pressure and Rate transient) of vertical/ slanted and horizontal well in sandstone and highly complex fractured lime-stones reservoirs and interpreted at least more than 400 pressure transients using Star, Weltest-100, Weltest-200, Interprest-2, Fekete, Pan-system and Sapphire.
In his professional career he involved in reservoir management and reservoir simulation of Clastic and highly fractured Lime-Stone, built static and simulation models in OGDCL & Orient Petroleum, Pakistan, Veba Oil Operations, Libya, Sasol Petroleum International, South Africa and ADCO, UAE. Prior to dynamic modeling he has QC/ QA, initialized and validated all of the model and subsequently history matched and ran different predictions scenarios for field development that includes, number of producers/ injector and depletion strategy. In problematic cases where history match was a challenge, he performed Streamline Simulation for the determination of flow paths for fluid moment and pressure distribution. During prediction scenarios simulated Water-flooding, miscible/ immiscible lean Gas injection, CO2 injection and WAG injection. In WAG injection different WAG schemes were formed by adjusting the WAG parameters, i.e. WAG ratio, WAG injection rate. These scenarios were ran to simulate the impacts of water flooding, lean gas injection and WAG parameters on the recovery of hydrocarbons for a limestone reservoir in order to evaluate the feasibility of different types of gas in WAG injections, gas injection and water flooding schemes.
