About

As a development geoscientist at Khalda Petroleum, I apply my geoscience expertise to optimize reservoir performance and enhance oil recovery for one of the leading oil and gas operators in Egypt. I have over 16 years of experience in the industry, with a Ph.D. in Geophysics and a Master's Degree in Structural Geology and Tectonics from reputable Egyptian universities. <br> My core competencies include well logging interpretation, well correlation, reservoir modeling, seismic interpretation, and pore pressure prediction. I use advanced software tools such as IP, Petrel, Decision Space, ARCGIS, ERDAS Imagine, PCI Geomatica, and Open Works for subsurface and surface geological applications and data management. In addition, I share my knowledge and passion for geoscience as a part-time lecturer of structural and stratigraphic seismic interpretation courses at several Egyptian universities. I am always eager to learn new technologies and methods to improve my skills and deliver value to my company and the industry.
