Petroleum Engineer

Well Construction and Trouble Shooting

Expert in petroleum and environmental industries. Includes stimulation/drilling/completing,gas storage wells, class I disposal wells, class II disposal wells, oil and gas production wells. Experience in the uses of new technologies concerning alloys and fiberglass pipe in hazardous waste wells. Contributed to increased “injectivity” on saltwater, non-hazardous, and hazardous disposals wells for Navajo Refining, Williams, BP, Veolia, and Solutia. Directly contributed to cost reductions for Navajo an estimated $30,000.00 on the recompletion, Conoco/Philips saved $28,000.00 on a workover, and Veolia reduced well cost estimated $20,000.00 on fiberglass injection tubing. Directly contributed to the workover of Trisun disposal in the Big Lake area to reduce operating cost. One year with Eli and Associates well stimulation projects in Oklahoma for Newfield.

Oil well enhanced production methods:

fracturing, acidizing, chemical treatments, and cementing.

Leadership and supervisory skills:

Oversite of drilling operations, well workovers, well testing, and reverse unit drilling operations.

Creating well construction budgets for drilling and completion operations (AFE).

Fracturing and completions designs in horizontal wells for both South Texas and North Dakota shale formations using coil tubing and conventional wireline plug and perf methods.

Technical writing skills:

Completed compliance documentation for state regulators in Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, Wyoming, California, and wrote a paper that was presented at the SMRI conference in Lafayette, LA.

Professional sales experience:

Present proposal to various clients for usage of new fluid and electronic technologies to increased production on a number of wells for clients such as Unit Corporation, Laredo Energy, 1776 Energy, Oasis Petroleum, and Worsham Steed Gas Storage.

Professional Experience

Affordable Accurate Petroleum Consulting (AAPC), Houston, TX 2015 – 2017

Consulting Engineer and Owner

Performed stimulation fracturing consulting work for Newfield under Ely and Associates in Oklahoma. The work for Ely consisted of job oversite insuring that the well was fractured according to design and if necessary make changes to accommodate the downhole condition. Did contract work for Trisun Energy on three of their commercial disposal located in Texas. The work for Trisun consisted of stimulation, design, testing, and well over site of workover projects.

Baker Hughes Inc., Houston, TX 2013 – 2015

Application Engineer / Technical Support Sales Engineer

Expert in the development of horizontal well fracturing and cementing designs for clients in South Texas and North Dakota. In house engineering for all pumping service product lines, cementing and fracturing services in horizontal well wellbores, integrating coil tubing services with pumping services and supporting sales of water management services. A major achievement while at Baker was the development of cost estimates for the proposed designs for integration into the well proposal that reduced the client estimated budgets using new technologies, innovative in tools, procedures, and fluids. This lead to Baker increasing my exposure to client presentation of all engineering and technical data to further sales. Left Baker Hughes due a reduction in workforce.

Major Client Projects:

Oasis Petroleum: technical support development of fracturing designs and cost proposals

Cabot Oil and Gas: direct oversight of well cementing designs and proposals

Laredo Energy: indirect oversight of cementing design and fracturing treatments

1776 Energy: assisted with the development of fracturing designs and sales

Unit Petroleum: development of vertical well and horizontal well fracturing designs

Lonquist & Co., LLC, Houston, TX 2012 – 2013

Petroleum Engineer/Consultant

Provide expertise on a variety of petroleum engineering projects for the company, included hazardous waste disposal well design, well stimulation procedures and designs,

Workover procedure design - engineering designs for well solution mining for gas storage in caverns, in Sulphur, LA for Petal Gas and Storage, completion designs for cavern gas well storage in Petal, MS for Mississippi Hub Gas and Storage, successfully completed state required cavern testing and class II salt water disposal well testing, for Liberty Gas and Storage. Responsible for the design of cavern well leaching projects including updates and new well design.

Wrote a paper that was presented at SMRI conference in Lafayette, LA by Lonquist. The paper described different pipe cutting technologies used in gas filled caverns.

Leadership skills include on site supervision over cavern well operations in Kansas for Williams and Mississippi for Mississippi Hub. Left for a promotional position with Baker Hughes.

Major Client Projects:
