Profile
Engr. Owais Manzoor is a graduate Engineer in Metallurgy & Materials, encompassing more than 6 years of experience.

He has served in upstream and downstream sector (oil & gas) in Pakistan and Middle East. Owais specializes in

microstructural characterization of materials, Lab analysis, damage assessment and corrosion failure investigations. He

has worked in both the metallurgical Lab environment and also on the field. He possesses substantial and demonstrable

Oil & Gas materials knowledge and intrinsic expertise including macro and micro examination and fractographic

analysis. He has performed several failure analysis of the in service components in Petrochemical, Power generation

and Oil and Gas sector. His interest lies in determining the root cause of the failed components with special emphasis

on their metallurgical properties. He has hands-on experience in performing innumerable site (In-situ) metallography

to evaluate nondestructively the conformity of microstructure of equipments. The ability to determine the detrimental

phases in the microstructural analysis of carbon steels, duplex stainless steels and Inconel material are his trade mark.

He has been the part of corrosion monitoring and testing team, working in the field and Laboratory. These technical

traits enable him to conduct the fitness for service studies of varied equipments.Owais is fully aware and well versed

with the latest standards relating to metallurgical evaluation, risk based inspection, fitness for service studies and

remnant life assessment. He is pro-active in nature and enjoys working in team. Moreover he has in depth knowledge

of welding procedures, inspection of weldments and related scope of work. He has been actively participating in the

work related to asset integrity and machinery maintenance
