SUMMARY OF WELLSITE EXPERIENCE
3 horizontal wells drilled onshore Qatar
I am currently working onshore in the Dukhan Field for Qatar Petroleum. I am involved in top-hole and lateral sections, which target the Arab Formation.
23 horizontal wells drilled offshore Qatar
I worked offshore in the Al Shaheen Field for Maersk Oil Qatar. I was involved in top-hole and lateral sections. Target formations are confidential.
104 laterals drilled in the United Arab Emirates
Sajaa Field (Sharjah) and Margham Field (Dubai) lateral wells are onshore United Arab Emirates, drilled with an underbalanced coiled tube drilling (CTD) rig. Laterals targeted the carbonate Thamama Group (Shuaiba, Kharaib, Lekhwair and Habshan Formations). The Sajaa Field is a complex thrust structure, the limits of which were defined by exploration CTD laterals. Laterals in the Margham Field were drilled on the steeply inclined limbs of an anticlinal structure exhibiting high-angle reverse faulting.
22 horizontal wells drilled in the Sultanate of Oman
Lekhwair Field wells are onshore Oman, drilled using conventional rotary rigs, mainly overbalanced with a few underbalanced. The build and horizontal sections were monitored / biosteered / geosteered. Casing points were picked. The lateral sections targeted the carbonate Thamama Group, Shuaiba Formation (and very occasionally the Kharaib Formation). Horizontal drilling records were established during the course of this work.
Numerous office based studies
In addition to wellsite work, I have undertaken numerous single and multi-well research, proprietary and multi-client projects. These have been from stratigraphically and regionally diverse areas. Regions of study have included Kuwait, UAE, Yemen, Oman, Pakistan, Turkey, Libya, Egypt, Equitorial Guinea, Ireland, North Sea, East Coast USA, Canada and Brazil.

· Margham Field, Dubai, UAE, pilot study. Review of log data and analysis of microfacies and microfossils to enable biosteering/ geosteering.
· Sajaa Field, Sharjah, UAE, post drilling appraisal. All biostratigraphic, log and field data reviewed in order to re-define structure and determine areas and targets not fully developed. These data were used to identify future drilling prospects.
