Experience

CAREER OBJECTIVE

To develop an outstanding career as a faculty member or in an academic administrative position in a challenging environment as a “professor” in a reputed university

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE

1) My specialization is in reservoir engineering and EOR/IOR where I have completed five projects (Projects no. 4 – 7 in CV). Currently one project (Project no. 4 in CV) is running. The total funding is over three million Saudi Riyals. One patent application is filed related to EOR (Wettability alteration). I have published 12 journal articles, 8 refereed conference articles and five manuscripts are submitted that are related to EOR/IOR. I am capable of using new concept (memory concept) in enhancing the understanding EOR process. My specialization is also in the area where I can model any complex phenomena related to EOR.

2) My specialization is in sustainable drilling operations where I have completed four projects (Projects no. 3, 8, 11, and 12 in CV). Currently two projects (Project no. 2, and 6 in my CV) are running. The total funding is over 2.5 million Saudi Riyals. In addition, I am engaged with a 3.5 million Saudi Riyal project related to LCM funded by Saudi Aramco. Three patents applications are filed related to sustainable drilling fluid development. I have published 13 journal articles, 5 refereed conference articles that are related to sustainable drilling operations. I have written one textbook on “Fundamentals of Sustainable Drilling” (Book no. 3 in my CV). Another book is in progress related to the problems and solutions while drilling (Book no. 4 in my CV). I am capable of using any new concept toward the development of new drilling fluid and modeling ROP optimization.
