My unique goal is to benefit my fellow colleagues with the vast experience and expertise acquired by documenting and working in almost all basins and geological settings around the globe including North & South America, MENA region, East and West Africa, and Europe.

1. PhD Thesis (McGill & Laval universities) completed in 1994 on the Petroleum potential of the Behar Basin. My PhD Research was funded by Sonatrach-Exploration.
2. Published more 10 papers on prestigious journals like AAPG bulletin, Sedimentology, facies, SPA…
3. Made numerous technical presentations and posters on Algerian basins.
4. 2016 – 2018: Identification of a new Tight Oil Play in SE Constantine Basin, with vast undiscovered oil/gas resources. Estimated the potential reserves/resources using our own AI-powered software. Presented twice to Sonatrach & ALNAFT.
5. 2019: Investigating a regional stratigraphic glaciogenic reservoir constrained by Late Ordovician paleo-valleys in SE Algeria. I did not have the chance to present it to my Sonatrach’ colleagues.
 Presented twice to Sonatrach-Exploration in Boumerdes & ALNAFT the results of my studies on SE Constantine Basin.

I received an invitation by the CNES (Conseil National Economique et Social) to  make a presentation to the experts in Algeria about the clean energy transition in Algeria. The idea was to open the discussion with the experts in the field to develop a road map for the clean energy transition in Algeria.
