Biography

I am a SCAL (Special Core Analysis) professional with over 16 years of experience in the petroleum industry. Currently, I work as a Research Assistant at Khalifa University in Abu Dhabi, where I apply my technical skills and passion for problem-solving to support advanced research in petroleum engineering. My role involves performing technical lab work, analyzing data, and ensuring rigorous quality control.

Previously, I served as a Team Leader at SCAL Arabia Ltd. and Weatherford Labs, where I managed daily operations, guided teams, and developed testing procedures. I take pride in mentoring junior engineers and technicians, and I’m always eager to improve lab processes and equipment to keep up with industry demands.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Applied Chemistry from Aleppo University. I am fluent in Arabic and English, and I excel in communicating complex ideas clearly and effectively. I enjoy working in fast-paced environments where I can leverage my project management and problem-solving skills. Beyond my professional life, I am keen on exploring new technologies and continuously advancing my expertise in the field.

Research Projects

Residual and Remaining Oil Saturation of Carbonate Reservoirs in Abu Dhabi (ROS)

Quantifying of the remaining oil distribution in carbonate reservoir has remained a challenging task in the middle east. Understanding the pore structure morphology, granular property, fluid distribution and two-phase fluid dynamic migration is the basis for remaining oil saturation also the foundation of selection of EOR methods that are applicable and economically suitable for oil reservoirs.

As part of this project the following will be executed:

  • Spontaneous imbibition experiments to evaluate the wettability of the samples
  • Flooding experiments (steady state and/or unsteady state experiments) including saturation profiles using either x-ray or CT scanner.
  • Centrifuge experiments (single speed/multi-speed).
  • NMR at different saturations
  • Developing ML models out of the results produced
