Vice President RESPONSIBILITIES & DUTIES Basic function and scope

President Office

I was the second man in the company and vice-chairman in the Management , Human Resources, Tendering and HSE committees.

I approve the Exploration budget and follow with Managers to ensure that MC directives are fully implemented , company exploration objectives are met and proposed reserve increment is achieved on the time.

I was the project director , responsible of Project Management process to ensure all development projects including new fields tie-in , facilities upgrading, debottlenecking the old facilities and IOR/EOR projects in brown fields are on time schedule and as per budget ; without compromising quality.

I initiated, followed-through and implemented the Chemical EOR as Huff and Puff to Improve Oil Recovery for Heavy Oil Field by Chemical Treatment (SEMAR) in Bamboo Oil Field. The result was oil gained of 18,000 BBls in 50 days . See SPE-189-MS.

I discussed & approved all Plans of production operations in all fields to ensure that crude oil and associated gases are


produced in the quantities and at the qualities level to meet shareholder need and off take requirements. I managed to present news concepts of four scenarios to the Hosting Government to approve the incremental of WNPOC Production level by 400%. Finally the government approved the plan and agreed that WNPOC can build a pipeline to Fulla and mix their crude with Block 6 . That allowed WNPOC to increase the production to 40,000 BOPD instead of 12,000 BOPD.

I managed a specialized group of engineers and specialists to formulate strategies and plans to maximize commercial oil recovery of developed fields through well/well review and performance enhancement. I initiated a full study of steam injection to increase the recovery factor of Tharjath Field by 12% . I achieved the 3 project steps and reached the Sector model , reservoir simulation and the economical model stage.

I was fully responsible of Company's occupational health , safety, and environment policy . I effectively follow the implementation of these policies in all operations assets and departments. I continuously lead audit teams to inspect the systems and to ensure all procedures are adequately implemented. During my time in WNPOC we achieved the minimum LTI in all projects and WNPOC was awarded the ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 after 2 years of system preparation and enhancement , staff training and orientation program and internal and external rigorous auditing . . During my time in SUDAPET as VP , I initiated the process of Quality management in the company . I enforced all the departments to map their work processes and procedures and hired a reputable consultant to help on gap filling to ensure proper system management is in place. After three years I managed to change Sudapet from a local Governmental Company to an international E&P company and Oil Service Provider of Excellence . I managed to improve work process, staff competencies . SUDAPET has been awarded the awarded the ISO 9001 , ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001.

I was supervising the company WP&B Cycle from the begging of preliminary thoughts, through SWOT analysis . approval , Budget Performance Review and analysis and Reporting to the shareholders and the host government.

Due to my previous experience in GNPOC , I managed to initiate the ERP system and established enthusiastic team to drive this project.

The team chosen SAP system in SUDAPET & other operating companies. After many years of hard work , the system now is fully functioning .

This ERP system caused drastic changes in resources


management, affected positively procurement procedure, warehousing management, finance and accounting, and assets operations &maintenance.

BLUE NILE PETROLEUM OPERATING COMPANY ( BNPOC ) :- The shareholders of the company were Gain Yield Investment Ltd., Hong-Kong 90 % & SUDAPET Ltd. 10%. This company was registered as off- Shore Company.

I managed to register a branch in Sudan in two weeks’ time, established the company HQ in Khartoum and I managed to negotiate the contract with the landlord and reduced the cost by 20% compared to the similar building in the area.

In the beginning the company establishment, and due to limited budget and work, interviewed the local staff and hired only 3 support , trained them to be of multi-skilled disciplines who can work on many projects and trades like accounting , secretary , logistics , GS , PR , translation , receptionist , driver ,..etc.

I managed to fully furnish the HQ building , established good tele-communication system with full ICT infrastructure , including provision of future expansion with very reduced prices.

I managed to arrange secured, quality and comfortable fields trips (More than 700 KM away from Khartoum ) to the oil fields and around all the concession area with minimum cost and met all the company fields survey and mapping objectives.

Sr. Production Manager RESPONSIBILITIES & DUTIES Basic function and scope

Reporting to : GM E & P

I achieved GNPOC production plateau of 280 KBOPD from 10 Production Fields in Block 1,2 and 4 (. Heglig, Unity, Toma South, El Naar, El Haar, El Toor, Garaad, Bamboo, Munga, Khairat NE Dfra & Neem ). This achievement was above to the approved WP&B ,target of 269 KBOPD.

I managed to achieve 300 KBOPD as peak production in few months. These high Production achievements were realized

because of the following actions taken :

I continuously attend to Well/Well Review.. Took decision on the spot about production issues, such as sand production & completion problems, Water Injection issues , artificial lift issues, workover / Re-completion analysis and production data aquision issues.

I was reviewing with engineers and technologists idle wells status and discuss the plans to bring them back on stream in due course of time.

I was reviewing with reservoir engineers and G&G group well performance and artificial lift or secondary recovery phase required.

I was energizing operations & maintenance by highlighting my observations about processing facilities performance, pipelines integrity, De-bottleneck projects and tank farm performance. I thinking out of box and encourage my staff to do the same .

I was responsible of all electrical feeders to wells and processing plants , that include 600 klms of HV transmission lines , 3 power plants and utilities . I was chairing meetings regarding HV& LV transmission lines, power plants performance, spare parts availability, contracts …etc.


I was very restricted about power outage issues. I encourage the power committee & consultants to suggest many improvement incentives such as transmission line retrofitting, sectionalization , outer closers system protection enhancement .. Lost production index due to power(LPI) reports showed outstanding improvement ; LPI DECREASED from 7% to only 2.5 %.

I managed a professional engineering and specialist team who assess processing facilities, pipelines integrity, Power Plants , tank farm and meters performance .

I was responsible of 412 wells performance ( most of them on PCP& ESP) and water injection plant . Manage 5 power generation plants , 600 klms of HV electrical transmission lines .

I have the ability to motivate and energize staff for performance improvement . I always empower staff and encourage them to make decisions and come with new ideas. I always follow the rule of (make it right first time). This is happening because of training , development & couching programs offered by my subordinates .

When I left the company, I had in my department 400 skilled engineers , technicians and operators. My budget was more than $ 600 MM per year.

I was the HSE System custodian in my department . I ensure all activities are carried out in full accordance with Company's Health, Safety and Environment policies and procedures .

I go through the G&G phase until the final geological model is finished. Then I follow with the reservoir engineers on the Engineering Dynamic model. I challenged the field economics to ensure its fit-for-purpose and no additional cost encored.

Worked as project director of Field Surface facilities phase 1 ( FSF1 The scope was 100 wells to be tied in and put on stream to produce 150,000 BOPD . The value of this project was $70 MM and the mode was on fast track bases to be completed/commissioned before June 1999 . ie. In one year time.
