      Master’s degree well design and engineering distinction

      Graduated with distinction and I have developed a simple semi-analytical “risk on sanding” model for both vertical and non-vertical well trajectories that allows doing probabilistic computations. Such a model for non-vertical wells has not been described in literature before. The developed model provides a mean of minimizing sand production by finding the optimal well trajectory. It helps well planning engineers to design the well trajectory parameters such that critical drawdown sanding… Show more Graduated with distinction and I have developed a simple semi-analytical “risk on sanding” model for both vertical and non-vertical well trajectories that allows doing probabilistic computations. Such a model for non-vertical wells has not been described in literature before. The developed model provides a mean of minimizing sand production by finding the optimal well trajectory. It helps well planning engineers to design the well trajectory parameters such that critical drawdown sanding pressure is largest. The financial gain in realizing a drawdown pressure where there is a manageable sanding problem is considerable. Show less

      Bachelor's degree chemical and process engineering distinction 3.35/4.00

      Graduated with Distinction in Chemical & Process engineering degree from Sultan Qaboos University (SQU). In 2008, I have been selected as one of the top 50 Students in the Middle East in the 2008 ADIPEC Education Week in Abu Dhabi, UAE and participated with “The Role of Technology to meet the Oil & Gas Demand” project and wining the third best project price.
