A leader in providing safety and operational performance coaching/consulting services in the upstream and oil/gas industry, I possess a record of success motivating teams to assure safety and operational efficiency within a variety of operator and drilling contractor organizations. In addition to stellar project management/hazard resolution skills, my strengths include:

Developing comprehensive standard and high-risk operating procedures (SOPs)

Tracking differing components to identify operational gaps and lost time

Streamlining procedures to lower costs and assure client satisfaction

Assisting 3rd parties in fortifying their Safety Management Systems

I am known as a change agent who helps clients identify and mitigate hazards, improve pre-tour meetings, and achieve high levels of rig move efficiency, cutting the number of move days and often saving tens of thousands of dollars. Self-driven with a tremendous passion and infectious enthusiasm for HSE, I generate trust and fierce loyalty at all organizational levels.

Selected Achievements

Enabled faster/more efficient move of oil rig, saving. Oil rig needed to be moved for every hole. The three players in the process, well owner, drilling company, and rig moving company were blaming one other for hold-ups. Set up pre-move meetings, outlining specific responsibilities. Inspected all equipment brought on location and developed an emergency response plan/SOPs for all 80+ loads. Cut rig move time by 1.75 days.

Salvaged contract for 3rd party company. Red Mesa, Engage Management client, had issues with its safety management system and was about to lose its Master Service Agreement. Assessed hiring process, finding several gaps/discrepancies. Developed new hire sheet, with training matrix and detailed list of job requirements. Worked with management to develop Job Safety Analysis program/SOPs for all operations. Took client out of “penalty box,” preserving its critical UT market share.

Assisted in Upgraded methods of communication, assuring rig workers and engineers “spoke the same language.” Communication from rig personnel to engineers was poor. Assisted in conference call meeting times. Assisted in developing contingency plan for well-drill breakdowns. Attended and Scheduled field visits for engineers and monthly meetings to review operational/safety issues, and re-wrote operational SOPs, solving critical communication issues on rigs.

Overhauled operations, cutting costs 2% and boosting profits 1.7%. Ryan’s Cash & Carry’s daily operating costs were too high, causing profitability to stagnate. Developed better flow plan, maximizing square footage of sales floor, freezer and deli space. Brought in vendors eager to help lower costs. Moved P&L in right direction, with vendors as partners vs. adversaries.
