2. I have Worked in land and offshore rigs in Iran, UAE with various types of mud. Encountered various hole
problems such as; tight hole, Loss Zones (With Partial, Severe, complete loss) Salt Water Kick zones, High pressure
Gas Zones, Hole instability, Faulted areas.
Details of skills:
 Prepare mud for different hole sections and pills needed while drilling operation.
 Test fluid properties and apply treatments needed.
 Experienced and knowledgeable on all aspects of drilling and drilling fluids.
 Perform pilot tests to find out moderate properties of mud depend on drilling situation.
 Understand safety rules during work at well site.
 Familiar with drilling fluids, mud materials properties, mixing order, Needful treatment.
 Maintain the inventory at customer well sites.
 Providing real-time solution for drilling problems and providing technical support for customer projects
 Prepare, test and monitor drilling fluid, according to API standards
 Analyze fluid hydraulics and recommend adjustments in drilling parameters accordingly
 Balance between fluid performance and proposed cost estimates
 Handles logistics, material transactions and inventory on well site
 Provide a daily reporting system to operator, illustrating all fluid related operation, tests and sales.
Additional information:
I have master degree in organic Chemistry which helps me have a suitable view of what is happening in mud
system and how it treats with different formation lithologies and choose the best system for mud and treatment.
