Career Progression
StrataGen Engineering
FRAC ADVISOR, HOUSTON, TEXAS, USA April 2014 to Present
Designed frac jobs on bases of number of stages, amount of proppant and fluid per stage for an optimum estimated production rate, to ensure cost will not exceed projected revenue from each well within a set rate of return on investment
Worked with geologist to ensure that only certain areas of the lateral with high production potentials determined from logs are stimulated, saving cost on fracking known unproductive zones – engineered staging
Reduced number of screenouts by 10% of monthly average screen outs by making real time operational adjustments based on results from minifrac analysis and treatment pressure trends. Saved an average of $1,000,000 per month in coil tubing screen out clean out and resulting downtime costs
Provided real time job monitoring, QC of frac fluids/ materials and technical support on chemical additive optimization
Analyzed DFIT data to determine fracture closure pressure, after-closure flow regimes/pore pressure, and reservoir permeability; required data needed to optimize stimulation design and coordinate data acquisition.
Set KPIs for service companies to screen vendor’s performance and identify minimum requirements to establish basis for service discounts; saving the operator $200,000 monthly on unacceptable NPT from the service companies
Provided job efficiencies improvement to ensure each job is completed in a safe, efficient and cost effective manner and shared best practices/ lessons learned
Conducted post stage & post job analysis and made recommendations for future projects
Optimized materials such as FR concentration including best practices and lessons learned
Performed net pressure match to help calibrate fracture models on frac pro
Conducted special project analysis, as required, on lookback analysis in collaboration with the completions asset engineer and technical group such as studying the effectiveness of job design to production such as stage length, proppant type, concentration, fluid type etc. to EUR
Promoted HSE on location
Integrated Services Coordinator
WEATHERFORD INTERNATIONAL- HOUSTON, TEXAS, USA Feb. 2013 to March 2014
Developed areas of job efficiency improvement and operations bottlenecks and develop mitigation plan for best practices
Prepared comparative scorecard on service company performance (NPT, job efficiency, data quality, equipment maintenance, technology) & pricing
Assisted completion engineers in cost estimates, analysis, and well designs for implementing new technologies
Shared new technologies developed in eagleford shale with client’s completions engineers
Supported frac/completions onsite coordinators during frac operations.
Participated in look back activities, identified and championed improvement opportunities and implemented frac company’s standard operating procedures.
Monitored performance against schedule, plan, and cost and made recommendations for achieving completion goals
Assisted completions engineers with budget preparation and monitoring while ensuring the accuracy of field cost estimates prior to billing
Frac Engineer II
WEATHERFORD INTERNATIONAL- ALICE, TEXAS, USA Jan. 2011 to Feb. 2013
Conducted Inventory management and trouble shot operational issues and made recommendations
Optimized material additives such as FR by reducing cost of FR and pressure/ horse power requirement
Supervised field horizontal multistage frac jobs at well sites to ensure safe and successful executions
Bucket-tested all liquid additive pumps to ensure that chemical volumes pumped per stage are within design
Monitored pressure tests decline gradients are within acceptable ranges to call it a good pressure test
Performed necessary calculations for various Slick water, Crosslink, Linear Gel and hybrid fracs
Prepared hydraulic fracture treatment schedules and proppant schematics for each frac stage
QA/QC of frac fluids and made necessary setpoint adjustments to ensure proper hydration and blending of fluids
Monitored and analysed data from channel feeds from the hydration unit, Blender, frac pumps, C-10 CAS unit, Backside pumps, and the well head with DataAcqPT software.
Monitored surface treating pressure, backside pressure, slurry rate, prop concentrations and chemical rates as the job progressed using FracproPT and made real time decisions based on observed surface treating pressures on Eagles ford shale and Permian Basin formations
Trained and mentored junior engineers on Frac equipment maintenance and operations.
Wrote post frac reports for eagle ford shale wells after every frac stage to clients and management
QA/QC of frac fluids and proppants
