Well-rounded Reservoir and Production Engineer with over 12 years experience in both Conventional and Unconventional E&P. MS, PhD in Petroleum Engineering coupled with field experience including frac design, reservoir engineering, facilities, operations, completions and economics.

Independent Contract Engineer April 2015-Present

● Provide a full range of petroleum engineering services with a focus on detailed economic analysis

● Decline curve, Type curve analysis, Material balance, Analytical modeling to investigate Radius of Investigation.

● Analyze effect and cause of down spacing through Reservoir modeling.

Reservoir Engineer III, Kinder Morgan CO2 Co., Midland, Texas May 2012 - April 2015

Responsibilities and Outcomes as from February 2014:

Reservoir Planning, Forecasting & CO2 Management

● Facilitated, balanced, managed CO2 Switch List based on field supply and demand for CO2

● Managed CO2 utilization based on GOR surveillance

● Formulated and designed Pattern Activation for 5 year Long Range Plan (LRP)

● Used proprietary KMWAG software to history-match and forecast wells

Field Experience

● Cement squeeze job Ran injection profile (Vertical and Horizontal well)

● Use of cement bailer Surface stimulation job using coil tubing

● Perforation operations Used plug in the flow master to test for tubing leak

● Ran a Sub pump Witnessed collar strip depth logging for perforation

AFE for Development of Horizontal Injectors in Southwest Portion of SACROC

Carried out research and assisted writing By-passed Pay Horizontal Injector AFE to drill a 6500 ft., multi-stage acid fractured horizontal injection well through a section of the low permeable, OOIP-rich formation.

● Utilizing Wellbore Diagram well files, Petra Logs, well interconnectivity and production data of wells within the patterns, determined the injectors and total of 12 producers to be included in AFE

● Established the well work, generated Cost Estimation to drill and deepen producers and injectors along horizontal well path

● With Baker-Centrilift, designed ESP and the associated VSDs for the 12 wells.

● Developed well completion designs and cost estimates including frac sleeves, swellable packers, and acid fracturing treatment designs for the wells.

Surveillance

Monitored and documented the production data, CO2 injection rates and Intake pressure data to identify CO2 breakthrough on 12 patterned producers surrounding a horizontal injector.

Prospect Evaluation

Collaborated with CO2 Manager to develop a process for which he then wrote a proprietary software application to perform CO2 EOR planning. Using that application, areas of bypassed pay potential were forecast, evaluated and documented for future development.

Well Work

On an AFE to increase injection support and disposal capacity on 20 stacked out water injectors, wrote procedures and ran economic analysis to clean them out using coil tubing which increased the incremental return to 30,000 BWIPD.

Mentorship

When a newly hired Production Engineer was assigned, built up his know-how of best practices enabling him to better function as a contributing team member.

● Reviewed and critiqued his well work for familiarization with integration of SACROC facilities and operations.

● Taught ESP and VSD design procedures, assisting him to determine and design what ESP/VSD were best suited for the given well

Software Expertise: ARIES, COMET, ECLIPSE, Fakete RTA, PETRA, SCADA, DSS, SCALEUP, DrillingInfo, Wellview, KMWAG, KMPLAN (Kinder Morgan’s proprietary software for CO2 Pattern Forecast)

Production Engineer II, Kinder Morgan CO2 Co.

Responsibilities and Outcomes from start in May 2012 to promotion in February 2014

Production Optimization, Surveillance

● Analyzed injection and production well data to optimize well performance

● Designed and recommended ESP equipment changes for a producing well to optimize CO2 production

● Made peer-to peer presentations re developments on ESP sizing and lessons learned

● Performed CO2 pattern allocations, forecast injection, oil production data for reserves allocation

● Analyzed reservoir, modeled and designed CO2 WAG schedule to optimize CO2 utilization

● Analyzed reservoir for redevelopment and re-entry into existing TA’d wells as part of future development projects.

AFE to Harvest CO2 in SACROC

Wrote $1.0M AFE to harvest additional CO2 in support of increased demand in active CO2 injection projects which included Return-to-Production of 5 TA’ed wells. The AFE required designing ESP and VSD and clean out of stacked out injectors to offset the water production from the corresponding producers.

Senior Petroleum Engineer over Business, Capital Planning and Forecasting (BCPF) CONSOL Energy Inc., Canonsburg, PA September 2007 - February 2012

Reserves Estimation

Reservoir Characterization and Modeling

● Constructed a dynamic reservoir model in COMET of Chattanooga/Marcellus shale formations using geophysical, geological and engineering data to improve reserves estimation and decision making for development of the field

● Performed history matching comparing model to production history

● Used type curves generated by history matching to support business planning and budgeting group for forecasting and economic evaluation

Type Curves in CBM and Shale

Created time zero plots of actual production data and updated it in ARIES database to perform history match and generate new type curves

Reserves Reporting Using ARIES Database

● Obtained, updated daily and monthly production and pressure data for input to Aries database

● Updated the database using economic assumptions, NRI, WI, Gas price, Advolum tax, Severance tax, BTU, Shrink etc to run reserves reports and reconciliation to fulfill SEC-required documentation.

Property Development

● Determined IP of competitors’ property wells to establish decline from production data

● Performed statistical analysis of production data to come up with P10, P50 and P90 to generate PUD curve for SEC reserves.

Modeling and Simulation

● Developed reservoir simulation models in COMET for a Marcellus Shale single horizontal, multi- stage gas fracture well

● Validated the model with actual production data from the well to generate and validate PUD curves for SEC reserves

Prospect Evaluation for Coalbed Methane (CBM) in Illinois Basin

● Created COMET-modeled simulation of vertical and horizontal CBM wells from core hole data

● Ran sensitivity analysis of various drilling patterns using multiple reservoir parameters

● Presented recommendations to upper management for future investment/divestiture.

Special Projects

Gas-in-Place (GIP) Statistical Analysis

● Gathered shale thickness data, performed shale log interpretation (RILD, gamma ray reading) to identify productive shale

● Used scholastic method to estimate reservoir properties and GIP

Fracture Technique Optimization for Shale

● Developed per stage gas production type curves for different completion techniques

● Recommended best completion technique based on production and economics utilizing statistics of EUR and IP
