He previously served with Shell from 1968 until 2004, joining the company in Nigeria as a petroleum engineer after basic training in the Netherlands. He worked in Nigeria, the UK, and the Netherlands and rose to the position of deputy managing director of Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria, a position he held until February 2002 when he retired

Session Overview: Well Plug & Abandonment (P&A) is the final operation in a well, this work required by local governments represents a huge liability for the oil & gas industry. The objective is to place permanent well barriers which shall extend across the full cross section of the well, including all annuli and seal both vertically and horizontally

Energy4Me Lama Mattar, Publications Chairperson The SPE NE section has launched a new volunteering Campaign (Energy4Me) to familiarize the younger upcoming generations of high school students , with the oil & gas industry professions, especially petroleum engineering and various responsibilities of a petroleum engineer
Session Overview: This presentation will be related to the geothermal industry in which the speaker will discuss what geothermal energy is, its most common uses, and how geography can affect the various geothermal applications. In addition to this, the new frontiers in the geothermal technology to develop green energy with new methodologies currently being tested in various areas of the world would also be reviewed

SPE-NE is launching a new Energy4Me programme for Dubai/Sharjah schools. If you are interested to give a career talk to high school/university students, contact us at spe-ne@spemail.org. The students will be excited to hear your stories!
Abstract: In volume terms Petroleum Development Oman is by no means amongst the giants in the region, but it is certainly the most diverse. PDO has been producing oil since 1967 and in this talk the history of PDO is presented against the back drop of the continuous implementation of technology. PDO is renowned for its implementation of technology usually first in the region and sometimes in the world. We have done not out of fashion but out of shear necessity to tackle our difficult and diverse geology and crudes. The history will take us from primary to today’s tertiary recovery where we have Thermal, Miscible and chemical floods in operation. It will take us to the building of the world’s largest wetland water treatment facility and much more

As a result there has been a drive to implement such approaches into our industry. However, in petroleum engineering, reservoir characterization and flow in porous media, we are actually faced with the opposite scenario: limited observations with ambiguous interpretation (example well log or seismic data) and relatively well know physics and equations. Over the last 50 years, we have seen the establishment of physics-based approaches, with numerical simulation at the core of it

2012 ADIPEC conference organised by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), is an opportunity for like-minded professionals to join and contribute to one of the largest industry shows in the Middle East. The theme of the conference "Sustainable Energy Growth; People, Responsibility, Innovation" will encompass a variety of topics under five main categories. Papers that demonstrate the latest technology and innovation will be given preference
