I am currently working as a Mechanical Static Engineer in the FEED office since early 2022, where I’ve contributed to projects like the Habur Project (FEED + DD), delivering complex designs for static equipment. One of the achievements in Habur Project (FEED + DD) was to eliminate the requirement of 13 silencers on the off-plot scope resulting in savings up to 700K$ (without considering maintenance cost of theses 13 silencers ).

Below positive outcomes i gained in FEED office :

• Developed positive working relationships with stakeholders to effectively coordinate work activities.
• Established strong working relationships with clients through exceptional communication skills, fostering trust and collaboration.
• Evaluated vendor proposals for equipment procurement, selecting optimal solutions based on performance requirements.

Senior Mechanical Construction Engineer in Qarn Alam Area Covering EMC/Off plot contracts in Oil & Steam fields.

Projects worked on

• Implemented quality control measures at every stage of construction, ensuring high levels of workmanship were maintained consistently across all projects.

• Worked Gas well test project and getting commissioned. (EMC)

• Middle Gharif Project (Gas, $60M) – 1 coalescer, 1 test separator, 1 bulk separator, 2 pumps
• GG Well Test Project (Gas, $80M) – 8 vessels in scattered locations
• Mabrouk Phase 2 & Phase 3 (Gas, over $100M) – Major equipment and pipeline installations (ring-fenced projects)
• QASP Projects (Oil/Gas/steam) – Wet air cooler off-plot, valve upgrades
• Al Ghubar Pipeline LLRTP – 4 km oil pipeline completed within 1 month
• Musallam Trunkline Project – CS to GRE conversion (Station to RMS)
• Tank Maintenance (QA, Oil) – Bottom plate, annular plate, and roof replacement for tank T-1201.
• Additional work on SRL infill projects, SRL LP KOD, Burhan NW Shuaiba Phase 1 MSVs, and multiple FCPs and ICNs.

As a service planner in Sperry Drilling (in supply chain SAP):

• Raise/create PO(purchase order) & PR(purchase request) .

• Ship equipments (sending drilling motor to rigs in system) .

• Build equipments( building MWD and DD tools) .

As an assistant operator in Well test unit SMS (Sand Management System) :

• Rig-up and Rig down SMS unit.

• Maintain SMS equipments such as valves PM &CM.

• Clean out of well effluent with solids such as propent/FRAC.

• Had the chance to interface with different well services such as wireline, FRAC, CoilTubing.

It was a great experience although it involved much of body work rather than mental or critical thinking and which

made me appreciate the tough jobs done in Oil & Gas industry.

The training period involved both theoretical and practical (field work)

aspects. There I became acquainted with the significance of well testing in the

exploration and production of crude oil. During the training period I attended a course

that explained the aim of well testing, how it’s done and how to analyze data obtained

from the test. Also, did some research on sand erosion during well testing activities.

Understanding PDO'S workplace,

safety and life saving rules. Understanding the NRPS(Nimr production station) various departments, significantly

the mechanical operation department. On the other hand, I got hands on practice in

servicing pumps and changing mechanical seals, shaft alignment, PM for export pumps

and maintenance of compressor. Also witness projects in Nimr that includes several

activities such as fusion welding, shrink sleeve, blasting and holiday test for carbon

steel pipeline , NDT (non destructive testing) for pipeline.

Understanding of ORPC’s organizational structure generally.

Familiarization with various engineering departments including mechanical engineering.

Learnt about different refining equipments and their significance in the refining process

such as centrifugal pumps, positive replacement pumps, compressors, gas turbines, storage

equipments, etc. Nevertheless, learnt about process of refining crude oil such fractional

distillation, chemical treatment.
