Better Well Cementing for ALL

The Leading Online Support Hub for Better Oil Well Cementing.

Know Dr Hussain Rabia

November 5, 2016 By Lenin Diaz Torres 4 Comments

Know Dr Hussain Rabia

Hussain RabiaDuring February in 2001, as a young cementing engineer with high expectations, I was finally in for the advanced cementing training in Schlumberger. (After a long delay due to the 1998 downturn.) 

During the training, a professor called Hussain Rabia was appointed to deliver the Geology and Pore pressure course. To be honest, at that time I was utterly unaware of Dr. Hussain Rabia’s excellent reputation in drilling and well control. 

I finished the practice, and 14 years later my young Iraqi apprentice was arriving from his drilling engineering training. He was delighted and proud that Dr. Hussain Rabia had been his training instructor. I immediately, remembered the name and asked my dear apprentice, Who is he? And He proudly said: Dr. Hussain Rabia is our pride.

And indeed He is.

    Many thanks Lenin for this nice introduction.

    I do remember taking you and two other engineers ( one of them a Brazilian, I recall) to a football match in my car. We also had to change a flat tyre.

    A very happy evening as my team then, Leeds United beat Coventry City 1-0. The traditional English dinner Fish and Chips and mushy peas was very nice. The weather was ,of course , very cold. I recall the Brazilian engineer saying after entering the stadium : this is like a theater…it was.

    Happy memories.

    The very best of luck.
    regards
    Hussain Rabia

In 2016, I launched Better Cementing for All. Now, I want to keep it alive.

For more than 26 years, I have worked in oil well cementing, offering my services to some of the largest oil corporations in the world and committing myself to excellence. I have mastered my role, and in doing so, I have accrued a skill set that is extremely valuable to my fellow professionals. Eager to do whatever I can to help them, I have owned and operated Better Cementing for All since 2016.
Let me tell you what Better Cementing for All does and what it means. A resource for all oil industry professionals and for cementers both established and prospective, this is a non-profit resource that I established in order to do nothing but serve and make an impact on people who are looking to build careers for themselves in cementing.
From primary cementing to remedial cementing to plug cementing to post-job results, I do it all, and I am comfortable answering in-depth questions about each and every one of these topics. I also offer tools and tips for jobseekers, general self-development advice, and guidance for equipment choices. TO put it simply, this is the go-to spot for anyone who wants to know anything about oil well cementing.
The problem, however, is that covid-19 has made the structure of the website seem untenable. I am trying to juggle the work that I do and my non-profit initiatives and finding it all unhealthy and unsustainable. I want to keep Better Cementing for All up and running, but to do that, I need your help.
