About Hamid B.

Creative, collaborative and self-motivated Petroleum Engineer with diverse work experience from field operations to detailed modeling in conventional, unconventional and EOR assets. Ethical O&G professional with proven track records of delivering results of increased cash flow and production, maximized efficiency of major capital projects, and OPEX reduction in multiple areas as well as reserves booking following SEC guidelines and working closely with auditors. Successfully developed new paradigms and procedures to test and implement cost effective and low risk field development options. I have propelled various scale projects from +10-billion-barrel offshore highly faulted/fractured oil reservoir in middle east to multiple CO2 injection projects in Permian Basin and various unconventional development in Central Basin Platform as wells as TX Delaware Basin. Unconventional: Technical evaluations associated with base and wedge production forecasts, project economics analyses & optimization studies, asset performance input assumptions for A&D opportunities, subsurface reservoir engineering planning, science planning, well design analysis and geological evaluations and simulation studies. Conducting, supervising and reviewing RTA analysis, numerical simulation and well interference across Permian basin assets for appraisal, development and reserves purposes. Conventional: Designer and executer of multiple water and CO2 flood projects in West Texas. Surveilled and optimized +90 MMSCF CO2 injection over 100 injectors. Excelled in classical reservoir engineering methods, reservoir simulation, uncertainty analysis, identification of well and reservoir production enhancement opportunities, production engineering concepts and applications, business planning, economics, and reserves evaluation through a multi-disciplinary team to optimize the development strategy of the asset. Expert in numerically modeling water and EOR floods in the Permian Basin from including Cisco/Canyon Formation (fast flood), Clearfork formation (slow flood), San Andres and Grayburg Formation. Innovator of a new approach to analyze EOR performance aiming to optimize cash flow. Experience:+15 years of diverse experience in international E&P companies and research institutes including, Advisor Reservoir Engineer (Oxy), Researcher (UW-EOR) and Reservoir Engineer (NIOC).
