DATE OF BIRTH 03.01.1969
NATIONALITY Algerian
PROFESSION Petroleum Geologist / Geochemist/Basin Modeling
POSITION SONATRACH, Algeria
SPECIALISATION Basin modelling, basin evaluation and geochemical interpretation.
KEY SKILLS Specialist in Basin modelling and Hydrocarbon migration with other petroleum geological specific disciplines. Interpretation of geochemical data and basin evaluation.
Qualifications
With more than ten years of domestic and international working experience as Petroleum geologist, geochemist and basin modeler (Petroleum Systems Analyst). My proven abilities include petroleum geology and organic geochemistry, and petroleum systems analysis. Background includes regional geology, source rock evaluation and prediction (richness and quality), organic geochemistry of source rocks and crude oils (precursors and correlations) and numerical basin modeling (geological model definition, thermal history regime and hydrocarbon generation modeling, fluid flow modeling, pressure prediction using geological modeling, sensitivity analysis by means of uncertainty in geological modeling)
A self-starting, motivated, initiative, responsible conduction of projects, with very good interpersonal skills.
Emloyment/Work Experience 1996–1999 Sonatrach E&P Algiers
* Working as a geologist exploration projects in Department of Geology/Sonatrach
* Regional geochemical studies
* Interpretation of the geochemical data.
* Evaluation of source rocks by Rock Eval pyrolysis.
* Basin modeling 1D using Matoil, Genex and Basinmod softwares.
* Prospect generation
* Predicting petroleum composition using basin modeling
2000- 2008
* Petroleum evaluation and geochemical characterization and basin modeling 1D and 2D in the West Saharan basin, algeria
* Working in collaboration with IFP about 3D petroleum system modelling of Berkine basin, eastern Algeria as a consortium project.
* Evaluation of source rock and hydrocarbon generation in Benoud trough, western sahara Algerian.
* Petroleum evaluation of Ucayali and Maranon basins, in Peru, a joint study betwin Sonatrach and repsol.
* Petroleum evaluation of wadi sirhan basin in Jordan, a joint study between Sonatrach and Jordan petroleum company.
* Petroleum evaluation of keboudia block in Tunisia, a joint study between Sonatrach and Etap Tunisian company.
* Petroleum evaluation hydrocarbon generation and migration and accumulation in Berkine and Illizi basins using Temis 1D, 2D and 3D software, Saharan Algeria.
* Prediction of thermal history of avermature basins in south Algerian Sahara using basin modeling software 1D & 2D.
* In 2004, with collaboration of IES institute, Some tentative of application of Petromod 1D, 2D and 3D software in the Berkine basins to evaluate petroleum system and then comparison with the results of Temis softaware.
* integrated structural geology, sedimentology, palynology, regional geology and stratigraphy, log correlation, seismic interpretation, organic geochemistry, production data, and source rocks to build sound regional basin models
* Used basin modelling tools to model overpressure development, reservoirs properties (porosity, permeability) prediction, thermal history reconstruction, hydrocarbon generation and entrapment both in single and multi-dimensional domains
* A small experience in reservoir fluids caracterisation (density, viscosity, GC, GCMS) for oil to source rock correlation studies
* Prospect evaluations and charge risk analysis for well planning (using basin modelling).
* Surface geochemical survey in Hassi D'zabat area, Amguid-Messaoud basin, with Gore Company.
* 3 D basin modeling of Berkine basin, domestic project in cooperation with IFP (in consultancy). A 3D simulation was undertaken in order to determine migration pathways from kitchen zone to structural satellites (GC/MS results is used for calibration).
* A joint study between sonatrach and Petronas in Petroleum evaluation of ahnet basin, western saharan algeria.
* Petroleum evaluation in logon birni basin, Cameroun, a joint study between Sonatrach and Cameroon compagny
Current responsibilities include various exploration activities related to basin modeling software application as well as petroleum systems analysis using geochemical techniques and basin modeling in various basins of Algeria.
Education
* 1989 –1994 Algerian Petroleum Institute Boumerdes (Algeria)
* Academic Degree in Petroleum Geology (Engineer)
