EMPLOYMENT HISTORY

Schlumberger ; Rosharon and Houston, Texas June 2004 - December 2009

Senior Technical Designer

Taking on a full time position with Schlumberger, I continued to help with the first production of the Sub Sea Data Hub and the Topside Data Hub. These two devices would electronically speak to each other giving the customer critical data about the production from the well. Before this equipment was placed on the market to sale. I was solely responsible for developing the jigs and fixtures for the commercial testing. On occasion I was ask to visit vendors to work out manufacturing issues. Later in 2005 both units were placed into service in Norway. I helped the Sales Department in marketing of the Units by supplying charts and graph as well as 3D graphic models. After the units were soled I helped the customer to retro fit our system to his existing system. While doing this, the engineering team I worked with made improvements to the design, which then I had to implement to the existing design. In March of 2006 this project came to a close so I transferred to the Wire line Truck Division. The last two and a half years were spent on developing a Wire line Logging truck for servicing Oil Field Applications. The remaining time at Schlumberger was assisting in the design of the EWAFE commercialization and the Acid Injection systems for the Offshore oilfields in Africa. Besides maintaining my daily discipline I took on another position within the company as Loss Prevention Team Member (LPT).
