2005-
present CONSULTANT, CANADA
1997-2005
SAUDI ARAMCO, SAUDI ARABIA
Senior Research Consultant, Regional stratigraphic
and basin analysis studies of deep gas reservoirs of the Arabian
Plate. My projects ranged from those that were designed for the
exploration, characterization and the exploitation of these reservoirs.
Modern concepts of sequence stratigraphy, sedimentology and reservoir
properties were extensively applied. I was also involved in an ongoing
and formal program of training of local Saudi geologists.
1990-1996
SIRTE OIL CO., LIBYA
Senior Staff
Geologist.
Regional stratigraphic studies of Western Libya Paleozoic Intracratonic
Basins. Conduct sedimentologic/stratigraphic and reservoir sedimentology
studies on clastic sequences utilizing electric logs, cores and
surface geology. Made detailed sedimentologic analysis of fluviatile,
deltaic, shoreline and offshore sandstone reservoirs. I was also
conducting a two years study of the stratigraphy, sedimentology
and reservoir quality evaluation of the Upper Ordovician clastic
glacimarine deposit in western Libya. Evolving concepts of sequence
stratigraphy were successfully applied to the study of these strata.
Basin analysis and hydrocarbon assessment. I was involved in training
of local Libyan geologists
1982-1990
CANADIAN HUNTER EXPLORATION. LTD, CANADA
Exploration
Advisor And Senior Research Geologist Conducted
applied research on the various aspects of clastic reservoirs, such
as stratigraphy, depositional environments, facies analysis, diagenesis,
and hydrocarbon productivity assessment. Regional stratigraphic/sedimentologic
studies of clastic reservoirs in the Western Canada Sedimentary
Basin. Advised exploration staff and management on various aspects
of clastic stratigraphic trapping. Conducted in-house clastic reservoir
courses and field trips.
1978-1982
ALBERTA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY, CANADA.
Manager Of
Sedimentary Geology Section and Associate Research Officer,Research
activities of the section consisted of the study of the stratigraphy,
sedimentology, palynology and ichnology (trace fossils) of the coal-bearing
Mesozoic strata of Alberta. My personal research consisted of the
detailed study of the sedimentology of an Upper Cretaceous coal-bearing
clastic sequence. This study resulted in the establishment of sedimentary
models for coal exploration in tidally-dominated estuaries and barrier
islands. Data for this study consisted of surface measured sections,
subsurface geophysical logs and extensive collection of cores.
1977-1978
KUWAIT INSTITUTE FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH, KUWAIT.
Associate Research
Scientist,Initiated and conducted research in applied stratigraphy/sedimentology
of energy resources, source rock geochemistry and construction material.
1976-1977
GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF CANADA, CANADA.
Research Scientist,
Research on the stratigraphy, sedimentology of hydrocarbon and coal-bearig
rocks of the Mesozoic System of the western Sverdrup Basin of Arctic
Canada. Data for this research consisted of surface measured stratigraphic
sections and subsurface borehole material.
1974-1976
, SHELL CANADA RESOURCES, CANADA
Exploration
Geologist, Oil and gas play generation through detailed stratigraphic
and sedimentologic analysis of the Mesozoic clastic strata of Western
Canada Sedimentary Basin. This work involved the extensive utilization
of cores and geophysical logs.
1973-1974
, ALBERTA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT, CANADA.
GeologistSpecial
research projects on the environmental geology of groundwater, hydrocarbon,
sanitary landfills, and subsurface waste disposal and storage.
