Instructor
Hisham Saadawi has 35 years industry experience in the design, construction, start-up, operation and project management of oil and gas processing facilities. He has worked on numerous multiphase pumping projects and unique applications. They include the world’s first installation of multiphase screw pumps operating in series, the first helicon-axial multiphase pumps operating in series, and the use of a mobile multiphase ram pump and multiphase ESP.
Saadawi has run numerous seminars on multiphase pumping and authored many papers on the topic. He is an SPE Distinguished Lecturer and a recipient of the 2011 SPE Regional Award for Projects, Facilities & Construction.
He is a Chartered Engineer in the UK, a Fellow of IChemE and a member of IMechE. He earned his PhD from the University of Manchester, UK.
