Ali Abdulwahab Oshaish

Laboratory Engineer, Laboratory Technical Support & Services

A petroleum engineer with +10 years’ experience acquired at top technology providers for oil and gas industry. The 1^st 4.5 years after graduation were spent working within Schlumberger’s formation evaluation team as a wireline field engineer. Then, I joined the industry of surface production and completion services working with Cameron for 6 years. My vision is to exploit the acquired experience combined with the petroleum engineering knowledge to develop new ideas, improve the current practices and find innovative solutions for the challenges facing oil and gas exploration and production.
