About Rachid Haddak

Dynamic Reservoir Engineer with over a decade of experience optimizing reservoir performance and driving impactful results in both onshore and offshore projects, including the Gulf of Mexico, West Africa, and Guyana. I specialize in reservoir simulation, pressure transient analysis (PTA), and well testing (DST), consistently delivering data-driven solutions that enhance production forecasting, reduce costs, and improve reservoir management strategies.Throughout my career at industry leaders such as ExxonMobil, Noble Energy, and BP, I have led cross-functional teams in reservoir modeling, carbon sequestration (CCUS) projects, and economic evaluations. My ability to collaborate with geoscientists, engineers, and operators has enabled me to develop and validate integrated reservoir models, optimize CO₂ injection projects, and deliver actionable insights for well performance optimization.Key achievements include leading the development of a dynamic simulation model for a $4B offshore field, which improved estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) accuracy by 20%, and saving $600M in capital expenditures through well location optimization. Additionally, I spearheaded carbon sequestration injection tests and developed advanced simulation models for CO₂ storage, securing critical regulatory approvals.With a strong background in uncertainty analysis, nodal analysis, fluid sampling, production forecasting, reservoir characterization, CCUS and CCS implementation and multidisciplinary team leadership, I am committed to driving value through innovative solutions and continuous performance improvement.I am available to discuss new opportunities in the Greater Houston area or virtual (remote), please contact me at r••••••@gmail.com.Technical Skills:Reservoir simulation, Pressure Transient Analysis (PTA), Material balance, Reservoir modeling, Decline curve analysis, PVT analysis, Numerical simulation, Eclipse/Petrel/CMG, Well testing (DST, MDT, RFT)Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS/CCUS), Production optimization, Reservoir surveillance, Nodal analysis, History matching, Uncertainty analysis.Software: Kappa Workstation, Petrel, Eclipse, CMG, Nexus, GAP, Prosper, MBAL, Saphir, PIE, PEEP, Visual Basic VBA
