PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
An Engineering and Science Professional with experience in a broad range of Filtration and Oil/Gas production technologies with a strong background in interdisciplinary support to R&D and Sales/Marketing departments. Extensive experience managing complex technical projects by integrating team members across organizations and disciplines. Projects have ranged from frac fluid and reservoir drilling fluid evaluation, sand control screen design, perforation optimization, fiber optic wet connect design, full-field simulation, and inflow and outflow analysis. Ultimately, whatever the work, a combination of intense focus, study, strong communication skills and an outgoing personality results in success that becomes recognized in the industry.
EMPLOYMENT HISTORY
FILTRATION AND PROTROLEUM ENGINEERING CONSULTANT 2015-Present Consulting and engineering, services in the Filtration, Metal Mesh and Petroleum industries. Services run the range from engineering design and analysis, database services, presentations and publications including technical papers and product literature.
CONOCO PHILLIPS, Houston, Texas 2006 - 2015
Staff Engineer, Completions Engineering
Involved in most areas of completion and production design and analysis.
Focused on integrating the reservoir with the completion and production stream to maximize production while minimizing potential failure modes, resulting in overall reduced well and field life cycle costs. This approach typically reduced well count by up to 30% and reduced well failures by more than 70%.
Worked in domestic and international projects from initial feasibility assessment before development to historical production analysis.
Created network models to answer critical questions about field development with respect to proposed pipeline and compressor designs, including studies that:
Predicted future field water production which determined that new water removal pipelines would not in fact be required in the future, resulting in approximately $3mm field Cap Ex savings.
Determined best surface pipeline routing and subsurface tubing configuration to minimize holdup and maximize production. Ultimately, the modelling revealed that the field would not be commercially successful, and the project was abandoned before additional expensive and non-productive wells were drilled, saving an estimated $10mm per well.
Predicted future production in a critical gas supply field showing that that the field supply would not meet demand within a 6 year time frame, and alternative secondary production methods were chosen based on the modelling results. Five years after the recommendations were implemented the field is still meeting demand.
HALLIBURTON, Houston, Texas 1999 - 2006
Principle Technical Professional
Performed broad range of technical work, including fluid testing, product design, and application engineering.
Worked in a large client office as a Technical Liason and was directly involved in several key deepwater GOM projects focusing on completion design, preparation and execution.
Spearheaded test program for advanced environmentally friendly frac fluids and weighted frac fluids for high pressure reservoirs.
Organized and lead solutions teams for major product developments and tender responses.
Worked on Open Hole and Frac Pack completion design and fluids, expandable sand control screen and annular barrier tools, and fiber optic distributed temperature sensor completions. PALL CORPORATION/OILTOOLS INC.– Scientific and Laboratory Services Department 1992-1999
