May 2012 – Present: Junior Reservoir Engineer, General Petroleum Company (GPC), Egypt; 2+
years of extensive RE experience including Onshore/Onshore Fields With Heavy/Light/Gas
Condensate/Dry Gas Wells Produced by Primary/Secondary recovery methods
Job Responsibilities:
 Performing reservoir evaluations to recommend and implement the appropriate technical/operational actions
e.g. infill drilling, well recompletion and workover programs, or abandonment
 Providing reservoir engineering support for Geologists, Geoscientists, Petrophysicist, and Production/Drilling
engineers as member of a multi-disciplined asset teams
 Interpreting open and cased-hole logs (quick look & interpretation by IP* and Techlog*)
 Performing petrophysical analysis to support geologists in exploration and reservoir characterization
 Attending different operation meetings to select the perforations intervals for (Development & Exploratory & Re-
completion) wells and the optimum completion type
 Determining initial Hydrocarbon in place (STOIIP): Volumetric, Decline Curve Analysis (DCA) for Oil and Gas
phases, Material Balance
 Analyzing production data: performance evaluation, forecasting, and reporting
 Analyzing RFT/RDT data to determine: initial reservoir conditions, fluid gradient, contacts (GOC/OWC/GWC),
and reservoir communication
 Interpreting PTA (Pressure Transient Analysis) data and designing well tests for Black Oil, Gas Condensate,
and Dry Gas wells (KAPPA-Saphir) to determine skin effect, well performance, reservoir characteristics, and
calculate well productivity index
 Evaluating Reservoir & Wells performance and make surveillance (AVOCET OFM*)
 Following up and QA/QC PVT and SCAL laboratory tests/workflows
 Analyzing reservoir fluid property and EOS modeling for Black Oil and Gas Condensate (PVTi* & PVTP) & fluid
model (Petrel* RE)
 Analyzing conventional and special core data (RCAL & SCAL): group/correlate core data and determine
permeability variation and heterogeneity & capillary pressure/saturation-height relationships, correlation with
well logs, estimation of free water level FWL/transition zone, pore-throat size distribution and relative
permeability
 Integrating Well Performance/Nodal Analysis, PTA, Material Balance, Volumetric, and DCA data in the process
of reservoir evaluation
 Analyzing reservoir/fluid recovery under secondary or tertiary recovery mechanisms
 Optimizing selection of Improved and Enhanced Oil Recovery scenario (IOR & EOR)
 Quality checking (QA/QC) 3D static (structure) reservoir models (Petrel*)
 Building dynamic reservoir simulation models (Petrel* RE & Eclipse* 100): model initialization, History
Matching, reservoir characterization, prediction of reservoir performance, and defining optimal field
development plans (FDP) including different depletion scenarios
