Planned more than 60 onshore and offshore directional well profiles for clients (Qatar Petroleum, CNOOC, Qatar Shell)
Designed bottom hole assemblies (BHA’s) and selected appropriate drilling tools for planned wells and analyzed torque, drag, pressure drop and vibration thresholds for the designed BHA’s
Followed-up daily with the drilling team by checking well surveys and drilling data and giving necessary feedback
Optimized bottom hole assembly design and drilling performance using post drilling data
Optimized the entire planning phase and parameters by comparing with actual results
Major accomplishments:
- Improvement and optimization of drag and pressure drop simulation results, which enabled the client to plan and drill deeper wells (up to 1000 ft) and minimize operation interruptions due to reaching rig pressure and torque limits
- Trained and supervised the new well planner for 9 months
- Established strong relationship with client’s drilling engineers
Projects:
- Auditing of Drilling Database: audited and made many corrections and improvements to the data quality of all drilled wells in Qatar in ASW database. I presented my findings to the drilling department at QP to review and apply these changes in their database as the two are almost identical
