SUMMARY

Resourceful Chemical Engineer with over 7 years successful experience developing models for

conventional and unconventional reservoirs, estimating reserves, and performing well/field

production performance analysis, reservoir analysis, production forecasting, and numerical

simulation modeling. Strengths include solid communication, problem-solving skills, adapting to

change and a good team-player. Experience in:

Material balance analysis Type curve characterization Decline curve analysis

Economic evaluation Optimizing water and CO2 flood Fluid PVT modeling

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Schlumberger Technologies, Inc., Hobbs, New Mexico 2014 – 2015

Field Engineer, 2014 - 2015

Designed and performed cementing operations. Also, performed job safety analysis to ensure

jobs are performed safely in accordance with Schlumberger’s standard operating procedure.

• Simplified troubleshooting techniques for operations equipment, resulting in equipment

reliability and reduction in downtime by 10%.

• Modified service quality inspections technique, leading to improved service deliveries to

clients by 15%.

• Coordinated diagnosis of well performance problems and recommended remediation

actions for improvements to management.

Morco Geological Services, Carlsbad, New Mexico 2013 - 2014

Reservoir Analyst, 2013 - 2014

Performed reservoir analysis to identify hydrocarbon reserves, as well as evaluated and

interpreted geological data, including drill cutting samples, to identify potential well targets.

• Expedited analysis of reservoir geology using well information, leading to improved

efficiency in identification of reserves and development opportunities.

• Developed and implemented improved drill data collection techniques that eliminated

data inconsistencies, and assured integrity of geological studies.

• Streamlined geological operations at well sites through improved equipment reliability

and analytical techniques, resulting in reduction of operating time by 20%.

The University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, Alabama 2007 - 2013

Post Graduate Research Fellow, 2013

• Researched and modeled hydraulic fractures in horizontal wells, which was successfully

used to perform well production performance analysis and reserve forecast.

Francis Dumkwu (205) 534 - 6630 Page Two

Reservoir Engineer Assistant, 2007 – 2013

Developed accurate reservoir and fluid PVT models and performed successful field studies.

• Developed a simulation framework for enhanced hydrocarbons recovery from matured gas-

condensate reservoirs, which was used for optimized field redevelopment planning for Big

Escambia Gas-Condensate (BEC) field, leading to a successful simulation study.

• Built accurate simulation models for sandstone and carbonate reservoirs that were used to

determine initial hydrocarbons in place, estimate reserves, monitor reservoir performance,

and optimize water and Carbon dioxide flood.

• Developed and validated fluid PVT model for BEC gas condensate reservoir with laboratory

PVT data, resulting in successful reservoir study.

• Analyzed and interpreted geophysical wireline well logs data, resulting in successful

delineation of pay zones, determination of completion intervals, and accurate reservoir

characterization.

• Executed decline curve and material balance analyses for BEC and Citronelle fields.
