Senior Petroleum Engineer/Completions and Interventions Engineer

• Mar 2017 - Mar 2022

Senior Engineer focusing on Kurdistan region of Iraq, with additional projects offshore Oman and onshore Iran: o Well Intervention planning - responsible for design and program creation for rigless interventions including PLT's, water/gas shut-off, acid stimulation, asphaltene cleanouts, other through tubing scopes, via coiled tubing, wireline, slickline. Exploration and production well testing design, planning and execution. o Completions/Workover planning - design of lower and upper completions, program writing for long horizontal wells, ESP/PCP completions, multilateral wells, dual string completions, downhole diluent injection. Highly fractured carbonate reservoirs, light, medium, heavy and extra heavy oil, highly sour/high CO2. o ITT creation and evaluation for well intervention contracts (Eline, Coiled Tubing) and completion equipment, cost and time estimates o DNO Kurdistan artificial lift focal point – responsible for all aspects of ESP and PCP management on Tawke including ITT creation and evaluation, monitoring of stock levels, ordering, modelling of ESP performance. o Integrated Production System Modelling focal point for DNO (GAP/PROSPER). o Acid stimulation focal point – matrix acidization design of highly fractured carbonate as well as tight carbonate reservoirs. Responsible for introducing new stimulation design which delivered 50% improvement in deliverability of selected oil and water disposal wells.
