27+ years of petroleum industry excellence, transforming custody transfer operations through innovative methodology and proven results
Sherif Hikal is the Founder and CEO of S.C.T DeltaZero, a pioneering company that has revolutionized petroleum custody transfer operations through patented real-time API gravity testing methodology. With over 27 years of hands-on experience in the petroleum industry, Sherif has transformed the way Fortune 500 companies approach quality testing and operational efficiency.
Drawing from nearly three decades as a field inspector, dispatch coordinator, and Operations Coordinator at Amspec, Sherif identified critical inefficiencies in traditional petroleum testing procedures. This deep operational insight led to the development of the SCT-DeltaZero methodology—a breakthrough innovation that delivers laboratory-grade API gravity results in 10-15 minutes with ±0.01° variance, compared to traditional methods requiring 3-4 hours.
Under Sherif's leadership, S.C.T DeltaZero has demonstrated remarkable value creation for major petroleum operations. Validation trials with Chevron revealed $1.25 million in monthly savings by eliminating unnecessary mixing operations while maintaining 99.2% accuracy and full regulatory compliance. The methodology reduces testing costs by $3,000 per tank and delivers potential annual ROI of $10M-$20M for large-scale operations.
Sherif's approach combines deep technical expertise with business acumen, having successfully navigated complex intellectual property development, strategic partnerships, and enterprise sales processes. His commitment to innovation and operational excellence positions S.C.T DeltaZero as a transformative force in petroleum custody transfer operations.
