Ahmad Shammari (Guest Speaker)

A principal petroleum engineer with more than 20 years of experience in oil and gas production optimization and Digital Oil Field solutions. Currently working as Product Champion for the industry standard multiphase flow simulator Pipesim, which is used for modeling and optimizing petroleum production systems.. Previously served 15 years with Saudi Aramco as a technical consultant and a project manager in various oil and gas design and optimization projects that covered diverse production engineering areas such as: integrated asset modeling, flow assurance, advanced completions (ICV, ICD, MRC…) and artificial lift (ESP and gas-lift). Designed and led the implementation of various automated engineering workflows in the area of virtual metering, production and reservoir surveillance and automatic well model building and calibration, for which I was granted two patents from the US patent office (US8688426B2 and US8731892B2).
