Work history

Senior Coiled Tubing Field Engineer

TAQA (Industrialization & Energy Services Company)

2019.09 - 2026.04

Engineering Simulation & Planning: Perform advanced Tubing Force Analysis (TFA) and hydraulic modeling using industry-standard software (Cerberus/Circa) to ensure safe reach and prevent helical buckling during RIH/POOH.
Operational Leadership: Manage the end-to-end execution of Coiled Tubing jobs, including wellbore cleanouts, stimulations, and nitrogen lifting, while serving as the primary technical lead on-site.
Real-Time Data Monitoring: Supervise live operational parameters, including Weight-on-Bit (WOB), circulating pressures, and pipe heavy/light transitions, to provide immediate troubleshooting and "Forward Plan" strategies.
Asset & Fatigue Management: Execute rigorous pipe fatigue tracking and string management protocols to maximize coiled tubing life and prevent downhole mechanical failures.
Technical Reporting: Author comprehensive Post-Job Reports (PJR) and technical failure analyses, providing data-driven "Lessons Learned" to optimize future well intervention efficiency.
Client & Safety Management: Act as the technical liaison between TAQA and client representatives (Saudi Aramco); led all on-site safety audits and JSA reviews to maintain a zero-incident record.
