Managed Pressure Drilling Field Engineer
Weatherford
Total years of experience :3 years, 7 Months
Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) is a technology that enables drilling wells that previously were thought of as impossible, safely, while reducing cost and time. MPD manipulates bottom hole pressure by applying back-pressure at the surface, achieving required equivalent circulating density (ECD) with lighter drilling fluid, and enabling drilling wells of very narrow drilling windows.
I worked in the office and in the field simultaneously.
My responsibilities in the base included:
- Hunting and tracking potential well candidates
- Authoring drilling programs and well feasibility studies based on my hydraulic well modelling (WellFlo and Secure Hydraulic Modelling)
- Authoring end of well reports - a detailed report stating every occasion and action, recommending on how to improve the services, and the lessons learnt from the respective well.
- Building official internships plans from ground up and training and supervising interns.
- Equipment maintenance and green tagging.
My responsibilities in the field included:
- Giving a safety presentation to the client, the rig crew and the service hands.
- Assisting rig-in operation
- Discussing game plans with the client representative.
- Making sure the well is drilled according to the hydraulic model in the drilling program.
- Maintaining an improving the relationship with the client.
- Making sure all operations are conducted in a manner exceeding both, safety and professionalism standards.
- Making sure to deserve the best evaluation from the client.
- Step-by-step detailed reporting to my local and regional superiors.

Leader of Senior Design Project team:
Solar Water Disinfection Unit - Design and Build
A device that uses sunlight and photo-catalysts to disinfect water, killing bacteria, viruses, and dyes. The project included two prototypes, a parabolic trough and a flat plate.
The former, concentrates sunlight by on a UV-transparent pipe though which water passes on a photo-catalyzed stainless steel strip, by a parabolic reflecting surface. The latter, employs a flat reflecting surface containing water, in which powder photo-catalyst is spread.
The parabolic trough water disinfection unit was significantly more effective than other prototypes at the time. It performed at a much higher rate, with capabilities of disinfecting much larger volumes of water.

My coop training was 7-months long, of which 4 I spent on HVAC, 1 on REVIT Modelling Software, and 3 on Fire Fighting & Plumbing.
On my last month of HVAC, I ended up working as an HVAC systems design engineer working on the King Abdullah Mega Project 2 (KAP 2), and my tasks included:
- Performing building modelling on HAP, Revit, and Autocad.
- Zoning
- Cooling and heating loads calculations
- Fresh inlet air requirements calculations
- Ducts and plenums sizing and distribution
- A/C units sizing and selection,
- Shop drawing revisions
My tasks as a Plumbing & Fire Fighting Systems Design Engineer trainee included:
- Pipe sizing and material selection
- Pumps and tanks sizing
- Nozzles selection & distribution
- BOQs and BOEs revision
- Shop drawings revision
