Makhlouf Boubahziz is seeking a position as a geologist with over 8 years of experience in the oil and gas industry. He holds multiple masters degrees in geology and has worked for companies such as Ikon Science, Sonatrach, and Petraphysics. His experience includes pore pressure prediction, well planning, seismic interpretation, and reservoir characterization. He has strong technical, communication, and teamwork skills.
I am a senior geologist, drilled exploration and development wells, HPHT, deep wells , vertical and horizontal wells, land and offshore wells.
I am a Senior Pore Pressure Engineer science 14 years and 26 years in oilfield dealing with all geological and drilling operations, managing a team of experienced geologists, providing geological reports and all related work to costumer.
I have a long experience in the oilfield as described in my detailed attached CV.
I have a very good knowledge about the directional drilling got it from my experience and the good relation with the people.
Also worked for more than 4 years in Dubai with Sperry Sun in a COMBO unit containing (Mud logging/ M/LWD/DD).
Through these period I worked as MWD engineer for almost two years on loan from mud logging due to the high activity.
I learned too much from the directional driller at rigsite like how to design a holding assembly, building assembly, and dropping assembly using only stabilizers, and I learned too much from the people about the performance.
I have strong willingness to learn new technologies.
I am ready to travel any where any time.
Hope that I will get the help from your excellency.
Highly appreciated
Thanks and best regards

La principal problemática en la detección y cuantificación de posibles fugas es diferenciar entre el CO2 de origen natural del que se ha inyectado, dado que el CO2 está presente en los gases del suelo y en la atmósfera.

PERSONAL PROFILE
A geologist holding a B.Sc. in geology, an M.Sc. In petroleum geoscience and an M.Sc. in reservoir
characterisation and modeling with over 8 years experience in the oil and gas industry. Previously held
roles as log analyst at Petraphysics and geologist at Sonatrach, and spent last 3 years working for
Ikon Science as geologist/Pore pressure specialist focusing on pore/fracture pressure and seal/fault
analysis in both clastic and carbonate with strong interest in non-conventional resources (shale and
tight gas). Possesses good interpersonal and communication skills, attentive to detail with a practical
approach to problem solving, familiar with PC and keen to learn new software and skills, enjoys being
part of a successful and productive team, seeking a position as GEOLOGIST.
EDUCATION

M.sc. Reservoir Characterization and Modeling.
Research project:
Characterization and Geomodeling of the Cambro-Ordovicien tight gas reservoirs of the
HNIA field, Illizi basin, Algeria.
2005-06 University of Manchester, UK.
M.sc. Petroleum Geoscience
Research project:
Lithofacies characterisation of Dentale Formation, Gabon, using cores and logs, and its
impact on the interpretation of reservoir properties.
