Short Biography:

My name is Mohamed Elsaadany, and I work at Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) as an Associate Professor in the Geoscience Department. with more than seven years at UTP and more than 29 years in the field (industry). Geoscientist with a special combination of teaching and industry experience (oil and gas upstream E&P). Rich background in all geological sciences, methods, and practices related to oil and gas reserves, including hydrocarbon characterisation, feasibility and complex field development planning, well planning and implementation, reserve mapping, analysis, evaluation, and modelling, and technical supervision of E&P operations from geological viewpoints. devoted to reserve maturation, safe and optimal reserve recovery, operational technical integrity, productivity, efficiency, and superior geophysical and geological services.

In 1988, I began working for E.C.S. (Electronic Construction Service, Germany-Cairo Branch) as a logging engineer (mud logging). I worked in various basins in Egypt from 1988 to 1991. Gulf of Suez, Mediterranean, Delta, and Western Desert. It was with Khalda (Apache) Petroleum Company, Shell Pecten, Petrobel (ENI), and Bapetco (Shell Egypt). The Exploration and Development Department of Badr Petroleum Company (Bapetco), a joint venture between Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC), was where I was moved to work in 1991. I worked as a seismic interpreter for seven years and an operation geologist for three years from 1991 to 2002. I worked on Shell Egypt's North-Western Desert regional project from 1999 to 2002 during this time.

The most productive period of my experience was the first five years. I learn a lot about drilling, mud, operation, well monitoring, well proposal versus actual, and other topics while working on the rig and drilling operation on site. Furthermore, my career and understanding have been greatly enhanced by working closely with the drilling team (crew), mud engineers, directional surveys, drilling and core bits, and logging engineers. These contributions have continued to this day. During my secondment, I was heavily involved in the Obayied field (then Shell Egypt), exploration (BED 15), and development (BED 1, 2, and 3).

I worked for Petronas Carigali from 2002 until 2017. From 2002 to 2010, I worked as a Retrovir geoscientist. From 2010 to 2015, I was a specialist (staff) reservoir geoscientist. From 2015 to 2017, I was a principal (reservoir geophysics). From 2004 to 2007, I worked as a secondee for CPOC, a joint venture between Petronas Carigali and PTTEPI. I was employed at the time as a seismic interpreter for the FDP project in the JDA area.

I received my bachelor's degree in geology from Ain Shams University in Cairo, Egypt, in 1986. 1995. The same university awarded me a part-time master's degree in biostratigraphy in 1995. My thesis was titled "Biostratigraphic Study of Some Cretaceous Exposures in Northern Sinai, Egypt".

2009 experienced the completion of my doctoral (PhD) thesis, "Structural Style and Tectonic Evolution of the Central Part of the Northern Western Desert, Egypt," from Ain Shams University in Cairo, Egypt.
