The Hamrin field produces oil primarily from the Tertiary (Miocene) reservoirs — the Jeribe and Euphrates formations — with the Dhiban formation as a secondary reservoir.

At HKN, our strength lies in our highly experienced, diverse team, whose professionals bring insights from working across 80+ countries. We are committed to building a culture deeply rooted in our Core Values, which include Integrity, Respect, Commitment, Excellence, and Teamwork.

Plans and monitors of local transport of materials between Kirkuk and the HKN Hamrin field sites, recording every service request in P-SRP and choosing cost-effective logistics options.
Leads the warehouse team and ensures that warehouse operations and materials handling follow the MMP.
Works closely with the contractors serving the warehouse (for example warehouse rental, transport and forklifts) to make sure they deliver as agreed. Escalates service failures or poor performance to HKN's Contracts department and the contractor concerned and follows them through to resolution.
