Total years of experience :31 years, 9 Months
Consulting services in Petroleum exploration for oil & gas field development. 2D & 3D seismic interpretation focussing in particular on the crustal architecture and fault systems, with a view to producing an interpretation report detailing the evolution of a given margin and its petroleum potential. Interpretation of gravity and magnetic data using Oasis-Montaj software. Providing a course “Magnetic and gravity in the oil Industry” in-house and customised to company’s needs.
-Project manager for the Gravity map of Libya, the work includes data de-archiving detailed survey, measurements, processing and interpretation.
Member in 'A Regional Geological study of the Paleozoic Deep Plays of the Sirt Basin' Project it is joint project between Libyan Petroleum Institute and CoreLaboratories UK.
-Leader of Geophysical group in “Western Sirt Basin project“
The aim of the project is to integrate geological and geophysical data to define the sedimentary evolution of the tertiary Sirt Basin. The interpretation has been done in the main office of Teknica Oil Company in Calgary Canada.
-Follow up the Aeromagnetic survey, processing and interpretation done by Sander Geophysics for Repsol Exploration Company at Kufra Basin.
-Follow up the gravity and magnetic survey done by BGP Company for Wintershall Company in Concession 97 Sirt Basin Libya.
-Selected to be a member of “Libya Area Regional study” as joint project with SRK Consulting Sydney Australia.
During this period
I involved in several projects for National Oil corporation and oil companies. These
projects are listed below;

PhD University of Birmingham (Structural and Tectonic Evolutions of the Sabratah Basin NW Offshore Libya. under the supervision of Professor Tim Reston. Three volumes of seismic data, together with longer 2D lines, well data and regional gravity and magnetic data, have been used to investigate the structure and formation of the basin. The gravity and the magnetic data were subjected to several analytical and FFT frequency-based analysis. This study investigates the crustal structure, the subsidence history and structural evolution of the basin, apart from the overall basin subsidence and rift history, the study focused on two main aspects of the structural evolution: evidence for shearing related to plate movements and halokinesis, diapiric phenomena related to Upper Triassic Lower Jurassic salt.
