Resume: Present Assignment in India:
November 2008 – Present
Senior Drilling Fluid Engineer on HERCULES 258 (Jackup rig), Drilling for ONGC offshore South East Coast India, Drilling HPHT exploratory wells (YS 5 1A,YS 6 1, YS 7 1 and YS 8 1) using THERMADRIL Water Base Mud. Mud weight up to 17.6 ppg at a Bottom hole temp. up to 420°f.
Last Assignment in Egypt before Joining India:
Senior Drilling Fluid Engineer on Scarabio 6 deep water semi, drilling for British Gas in the Mediterranean, while working with BG, we drilled Deep Water Exploratory well with Atwood Hunter semi (Water depth 990m), Three wells with K Manhattan Jackup and one HPHT Exploratory well with K Manhattan, while drilling the Exploratory HPHT well (Je 72-1), I was honored a “Thank you letter from both the drilling and HSE side in BG, This Exploratory well (Je 72-1) was the first well in Egypt to be drilled with the Stress Caging Technique which helped drilling the 8.5in hole with a FIT 17ppg also we have achieved another success when applying the same technology principle for a 6 inches hole in the same well. The results were amazing as we got an FIT of 18.92 ppg for the first time in the Mediterranean. The test value was important not only from the higher well bore strength value consideration but it also gave the operator much confidence to drill safer and control kicks with no fear to break the casing shoe during the killing operation – if any, and hence contain any influx properly as the formation pressure reached 17.0 ppg in the upper zone. The operator considered to utilize this technology in the deepwater operation as well as a result of this success.
