Roles and Responsibilities
I am a Senior Drilling Engineer and Wells Operations Team Leader with over 20 years of international experience in Iraq, Yemen, and Saudi Arabia, working with major industry leaders like Antonoil, OMV, and Schlumberger. My core responsibility involves the end-to-end delivery of complex HPHT, deep, horizontal, and exploration wells specifically within H2S and CO2 environments. I am an expert in bridging the gap between high-level engineering design and field execution to drive NPT reduction, cost efficiency, and safety compliance. My operational leadership extends to managing full-cycle rig operations for high-specification rigs up to 3000 HP. This includes leading multi-disciplinary crews and managing complex daily logistics to deliver high-risk projects on time and within budget5. I have advanced proficiency in designing Drilling and Workover programs, incorporating critical well integrity principles and detailed offset well analysis. Furthermore, I possess extensive experience supervising technical well services and interventions. This includes cementing operations, DST operations, ESP installations, and Coiled Tubing campaigns involving nitrogen lifting and acid stimulation. I am also highly skilled in complex fishing and milling operations. My role often encompasses commercial and contracts management, where I handle tendering processes for rigs and mud services, negotiate LSTK and Day Rate contracts, and enforce rigorous contractor quality via audits and SQMs. Finally, I ensure all projects adhere to international standards such as API, NORSOK D-10 and ISO 16530 to guarantee long-term well integrity.
