Dr. Ali Zaher
With over 30 years of cumulative expertise in Petroleum Sector, encompassing significant roles across KUFPEC, Fugro, Tatneft, OXY, INA, ENI and Cairo University, my work has spanned in operator , service provider capacities, and academia. My contributions to the discovery of hydrocarbon reserves globally are underpinned by eight peer-reviewed publications and presentations at international conferences.
As a Geoscientist, I have played pivotal roles in major discovery projects, including KUFPEC’s strategic hydrocarbon finds in the Mediterranean, Gulf of Suez, and Western Desert. My work in Petroleum Industry has also yielded rediscoveries, such as in Syria's Wadi Obeid with Fugro, Libya’s Zueitina-103 Concession with OXY, and Sudan's GNPOC-Heglig field. Additionally, my collaboration with INA resulted in East Yidma Concession-Sidi A. Rahman discovery, while my involvement with ENI facilitated multiple successful explorations discoveries in the Mediterranean, Nile Delta, and North Sinai regions.
