Mechanics, Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering
Department. University of Missouri, Columbia, U.S.A.
1979 Worked with Abu Dhabi National Petroleum Construction
Company (NPCC) as a Mechanical Engineer. The company
was providing services to Abu Dhabi offshore oil fields,
such as fabricating and installing Jackets, Well Head
Platforms, Helidecks, Offshore Pipelines, wells Hook-up to
Production Network…etc.
13th
March 1980 Joined Zakum Development Company, Drilling
Department, as a Field Drilling Engineer, at Abu Dhabi
Offshore area. Worked offshore as a company-man with all
duties and responsibilities on Drilling Barge. My duties and
responsibilities were as follows:
 Responsible for preparing the well programs, following-up
closely the offshore field operations and providing technical
assistance and support to Senior Supervisors.
 Checks equipment availability for planned wells to be drilled
and advises if re-rescheduling is required.
 Evaluates the drilling efficiency and analyze the reasons for
problems to avoid such occurrences in the future.
 Performs other related duties such as studying and analyzing
well data and recommends optional drilling procedures, the
supervision and training of Junior personnel in both written and
practical aspects of the well engineering.
 Prepares the contracts of Rigs and their amendments with close
liaison with budget officer.
 Prepares all final well drilling reports.
 Supervises the trial / pilot tests for new equipment.
