Work Background:
• Worked at HKN Energy Company as a Reservoir Engineer (Jun 2018 – Jul 2020)
• Using Saphir and Topaze software from KAPPA for pressure and rate transient analysis for
the wells, to analyze reservoir parameters and design well tests.
• Using Harmony Enterprise software from IHS and MBAL from IPM, to calculate the
static and dynamic material balance and decline curve analysis.
• Using Prosper software from IPM to conduct nodal analysis and vertical flow profile of wells, and
calculated BHP and study different artificial lift methods
• Using PVTP software from IPM to conduct PVT analysis and apply different correlations to
best match reservoir conditions.
• Using GAP software from IPM to conduct field performance analysis and production allocation for
commingled wells.
• Using Petrel and Eclipse software from Schlumberger, to perform a numerical simulation of the
reservoir and conduct a variety of reservoir engineering studies.
