Overview

In conjunction with the Energy theme of IChemE100, Malaysia NECC is hosting a forum, filled with speakers on the use of carbon capture in our energy systems, how CCS fits into the energy transition landscape, CCS capacity and potential in Malaysia and Southeast Asia and recent advances in carbon capture processes.

Speakers

Arsham Avijegon, Senior Production Technologist, PT Technical Authority, Well Integrity Focal Point & CCS Technical Scope Lead, Shell

Arsham started his career with Schlumberger in 1996 as a wireline logging engineer and gained experience in offshore & onshore oil & gas well services aspects such as formation evaluation, workovers, perforations, conveyance methods and well integrity. His work took him to various locations such as India, Yemen, Oman, UAE, Malaysia, and Iran. After ~7 years in the field, he moved to a technical management position looking after the wireline business including contracts management and tender preparation.

In 2007 he took a year’s sabbatical to complete his master’s degree in petroleum engineering from Curtin University after which he joined Chevron Australia as a Reservoir Engineer working on Greater Gorgon fields and later branched out to Production Engineering following Gorgon FID. As the Lead PE on Barrow Island, Arsham was involved in the commissioning and start-up of the subsea wells and LNG plant start-up. He then moved to Hess Corporation in 2016 as the Production Technology Advisor to help with the development of the Equus Project. In his last role prior to joining Shell, Arsham was the Project & Operations Manager for the CSIRO CCS Project in Harvey, the first successful CO2 injection project in WA. Arsham is currently the Local Discipline Lead and Technical Authority for Production Technology at Shell and supports the Prelude asset and the Crux Project.
