Professional Experience

PETROLEUM ENGINEER

Tullow Oil / GNPC Jun, 2015 – Aug, 2016

Responsible for preparing, revising and completing a detailed Drilling & Completions Program for wells in Jubilee Field (Gulf of Guinea) (Inc. Well examination, detailed engineering of Mud, Cement, Bits and BHA)

Ensured drilling programs are optimized to quality, HSE and in compliance with the company.

Worked closely with other groups to assure the program is based on all available 3rd party Programmes, geological information and drilling information from other offset wells.

Executed the End of Well report (EOWR) after completion of every well in the campaign. This included collection of all data from third parties.

Responsible for preparing reports in DETAIL, capturing Lessons Learned, preparing and updating daily Time-Depth and operational analysis.

Undertook an offshore visit to the rig once a trip, to "Touch the Steel" both onshore and offshore to see operations first hand and spend time with the crews to ensure the drilling programme is being executed efficiently and Operational excellence is being achieved.

PETROLEUM / FIELD ENGINEER

BAKER HUGHES INC. – San Antonio, TX Jan, 2014 – Dec, 2015

Successfully managed well completions projects in Texas (Eagleford Shale) and Louisiana (Haynesville Shale) from inception to completion at client’s wellsites for various high profile clients in the oil and gas industry.

Performed well testing and diagnostics to determine formation properties and formation evaluation for new and existing wells.

Carried out field and reservoir studies and perform reservoir engineering functions including decline curve analysis, nodal analysis and pressure transient analysis for R&D department.

Conducted fracture analysis and fracture stimulation modeling for various clients.

Reviewed completions proposals, recommended project specifications, ordered lab tests and analyzed fracturing fluids.

Conducted economic analysis on various completions designs for projects, planning, and well justifications.

Performed studies and projects assuring adequacy and conformance to overall objectives of all phases of problems in areas, including stimulation, production, well design and testing programs, reservoir flow properties and fluid studies.

Conducted trouble-shooting exercises and solved mechanical, technical and chemical problems.

Directed preparation of appropriate documentation for assigned project phases and prepared required reports and summaries to communicate project progress or results.

Analyzed costs and benefits of various solutions then made recommendations and wrote engineering specifications and performed engineering calculations.

Wrote technical reports for clients and management personnel after each stimulation job. Provided technical advice, assessments, evaluations, recommendations and counsel to clients concerning the design, development and operation of well stimulation/completions services, processes and procedures and recommended design changes.

TEACHING AND RESEARCH ASSISTANT

CRAFT AND HAKINS DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING – Baton Rouge,LA Jan, 2012 – Dec, 2013

Multi-stage hydraulic fracture diagnostics using fracture network simulation and pressure history matching towards optimization of subsequent fracture treatment in an adjacent field.

Conducted simulation studies to determine effectiveness of water-alternation-steam processes in heavy oil reservoirs using CMG STARS. (Enhanced Oil Recovery)

Performed decline curve analysis and volumetric calculations, predicting future oil and gas production based on history matching.

Performed nodal analysis and formation evaluation to determine flow rate at which existing oil or gas well would produce considering wellbore geometry and completions limitations.

Conducted reservoir engineering evaluations on selected properties to evaluate their potential, predict reservoir performance, evaluate completion strategies, optimize future depletion and development plans.

TULLOW OIL – Accra, Ghana Dec, 2010 – Dec, 2011

Drilling stick chart operations on Jubilee fields in support of well planning activities, acquired knowledge of well information database management using Peloton WellView, introduced to AFE procedure for new well proposals, participated in drill team and vendor technical presentations.

Knowledge concerning well construction interface documents to produce drilling operations spreadsheets, includes day vs. depth curves, non-productive time charts, and planned vs. actual drilling information.

Collaborated with engineering professionals pertaining to offshore drilling projects.

Analyzed production data to recommend where new wells should be place and identified candidates for enhanced oil recovery to maximize production under supervision of senior staff members.
