Accomplishments

An extensive and well-rounded industry background in petroleum geology, hydrogeology and sequence stratigraphy with expertise in geochemistry, basin analysis, source rock characterization & modeling, and Sedimentology that highlights the following skills and abilities.

1. Petroleum geology:

· Twenty nine years of industry employment in domestic and overseas exploration and development (light oil and heavy oil) with experience in the various Sudanese rift basins and a bit on offshore Malay basin.

· Hands-on industry experience and industry courses in petroleum geochemistry emphasizing on oil fingerprinting, source-rock evaluation, source rock maturation studies and basin modeling.

2. Geologic research: Strong creative thinking and interpretive skills demonstrated by the development of exploration opportunities:

· Industry research as a hydro-geophysicist that resulted in the development of a new mathematical formula for calculating the depth to water surfaces within basement fractures using the Electromagnetic technology (Unpublished).

· Highlighted the role of the organo-facies variations within the Abu Gabra source rock of the Muglad basin in GNPOC oil classification using biomarker analysis (AAAPG-2004 Proceedings & 2008 Taylor & Francis Group, London).

· Identified a new petroleum system in the Kaikang trough of the Muglad basin through an oil fingering analysis opening the window for a new exploration opportunity.

Discussed evidences for a marine incursion event in the Muglad Basin during the Late Cretaceous using biomarker, biostratigraphic, and stable Carbon isotopes data (October 2019, IOP Conference Series Earth and Environmental Science360(1):012030).
