Expert is a senior lead drilling engineer. He has worked for major oil companies and dealt with many horizontal, extended reach, multi-lateral and re-entry drilling projects. He is experienced in vital worldwide on- and offshore shallow and deep water drilling projects, as well as applied new drilling technology and drilling optimization to minimize the NPT impact to reduce drilling cost and enhance drilling performance.

His expertise includes the following:
1. All aspects of the directional drilling technology and applications.
2. Evaluation of oil tools and equipment: Evaluated downhole motors of many vendors in the market.
3. Experience in "TIC"; testing, inspection and certifications in the oil industry.
4. Discussion and evaluation of mergers and acquisitions in the oil industry.
5. Major oil companies measures and planning during the slow period.
6. Economical aspects and competition trend of new mergers in the oil industry.
7. The competition landscape and the future trend of global tubular manufacturers.
8. The OPEC perspective towards the oil prices and the differences among the OPEC members.
9. Wear-resistant materials and hard-facing in the oil industry.
10. The importance of "re-entry" projects during the slow period compared to drilling new costly wells.

Expert has utilized tubular wear technology, torque & drag software for extended reach well design. He has managed, designed and executed vital Extended Reach wells and workover re-entry projects. His responsibilities have also included preparing drilling and completion programs, including smart well completion, preparing AFE’s, drilling budget and cost.

Experienced in oilfield development and utilized the latest technology to execute the planned offshore wells to enhance the oil productivity of the drilled wells. Through this experience, it was possible to solve many drilling and well completion problems that may directly impact the NPT "non-productive time".
During the well completion with ESP's (Electrical Submersible Pumps), the best installation procedure & steps were followed to make sure the ESP was installed correctly.

His work experience has included negotiating contracts, joint operation agreements and interacting with oilfield service companies. He is experienced in business development and the setup of services for marketing oil tools and equipment.

Provided consulting in the following areas:
1. Tubular technology, casing and tubing and new connections of high quality casing manufacturers.
Studied the market landscaping and competition of the casing manufacturers worldwide
2. Experienced in all tubular in the oil and gas industry, drill pipe, drill collar and heavy weight drill pipe
3. Provided study about the premium casing connections to be applied in complex deep wells and deep water projects.

Provided the following consulting in the oilfield services:
1. Provided consulting to include the tubular services in the oilfield
2. Provided consulting to evaluate the equipment and oil tools rental in the middle east and the impact of this service at current downturn of the oil industry. Also elaborated on the major players of this service and the competition and the near future growth of this business.
3. Studied the economical impact on the oilfield services and the effect on the services including the market share among the major players.
4. Evaluated the offshore rig inspection and the acceptance criteria by the operator company
5. Studied the "Turn-key" drilling concept compared with drilling contracting concept in Saudi Arabian oilfields
