A petroleum reservoir geomechanics consultant with nearly 25 years of global oil and gas industry
experience. Specializes in advanced finite-element–based 1D, 3D, and 4D geomechanical modeling for
complex subsurface systems.
Professional experience includes providing geomechanics solutions for U.S. shale gas reservoirs and
deep-water developments in the Gulf of Mexico, addressing drilling stability, hydraulic fracturing interaction,
reservoir compaction, fault reactivation, and long-term well integrity.
Currently provides advanced geomechanics support within Saudi Aramco, contributing to onshore and
offshore gas reservoir management and unconventional resource development through specialized studies,
including time-lapse (4D) finite-element modeling of depletion and injection-induced stress changes.
Academic background includes studies at the University of Khartoum, University of Saskatchewan, and
