EMPLOYMENT EXPERIENCE

RPS Knowledge Reservoir, LLC, Houston, Texas 2012-2015

Senior Reservoir Engineer

History matched and made predictions for the Allen field offshore Equatorial Guinea gas cycle project (Eclipse 300 compositional model).

Performed simulation studies of the Nasen field, offshore Texas, the Songkhola field, offshore Thailand

and Geamana field, Romania.

Provided support for drilling operations during implementation of the revised development plan.

History matched Eclipse model for the Adanga South field, offshore Nigeria, generating three new production well locations and one additional water injection location.

Built eclipse models of the Greater Kita area and Antan field. Prepared field preliminary field development plans for the area, to be finalized after the drilling of an additional appraisal well. (Kita field now online)

Constructed Eclipse model of the Greater Ebughu field offshore Nigeria. Generated potential drilling locations and assisted in the Application to Drill process

Presented results for all field studies both internally and to third party reserve auditors for inclusion in the company’s reserve base.

Performed surveillance and day to day operations support and maintained reserve estimates for eight fields.
