To: Company

Good morning,

I would like to apply to position: Senior Drilling Engineer

My Name is Hieu Ha. Currently, I am doing Drilling Engineer/ Drilling Consultant for both Precision Drilling and Hamison Corporation, accountable for delivering the engineering of wells, engineering and budget studies and develop well concepts.

With over 20 years’ relevant petroleum industry experience, with a strong exploitation background, experience in Drilling, Completions, Operations, Offshore and Onshore, Deep Water Operations, H2S concentrations, HTHP and Extended Reach Drilling (ERD) Engineering, my Tool Box of offshore Field and Office experiences serve me well to innovate and deliver on major operator's projects.

20 years of proven drilling experience in large multicultural organizations, possess leadership, office base and field experience for offshore, onshore projects and drilling consultant to optimize the performance of operations and safety during the execution of the well at the rig site.

I am experienced engineers and manager, working knowledge of field operations in all areas from shallow, sweet, low-pressure wells, depleted zones to deep, high pressure (HTHP). I can run software’s Peloton WellView, Accumap, GeoScout, Abadata, Wellman, Landmark Drilling Suite (Compass, Stress Check, Well Plan) - the basis of design, planning, project management, code and regulatory requirements, cost control, and budgeting expertise.

Scope: Currently working with land rigs, plus over 20 years for offshore Semi-sub, Jack-up rig w/ single, dual and multi-bowl -subsea wellhead systems; dual activity rig, motor & rotary steerable systems; risk analysis, WBM and SBM; horizontal drilling, fluids and cement, depleted formation, Clastics and Granite Basement and few experience with ERD wells, High Temperature High Pressure (HTHP) wells (400ºF) and well cost estimation.

Positions: Filled a variety of positions in career: Drilling Operations Engineer, Lead Drilling Cost / Drilling Team Leader/ Drilling Project Manager, Senior Drilling and Completions Engineer, D&C Performance Lead and most recently as Drilling Consultant, Drilling Optimization Specialist.

Achievements: Worked with team for the drilling, completion, production operations of over 50 production and injection wells and over offshore 30 exploration and appraisal included HTHP, ERD and deep-water wells, in Miocene and basement, setting many drilling, completion, and performance records, work over, slot recovery & Temporary and Permanent plug and abandon wells.

My experience in offshore environments has shown me the true meaning of "time is money". When in the hot seat running a $1.2MM USD per day operations we had to be prepared ahead and designed in advanced, had to be organized, and had to deliver. I am a person with exceptional organizational and time management skills, detail oriented, adaptable to change, and ability to multi-task and manage priorities in a deadline driven environment. The expectations demanded it.

Success and failure, after the oil downturn in 2015, I left Chevron as Drilling Operations Engineer position, have formed consultants which were planned to design, support, and well data gathering, Asset retirement, execute Drilling & Completions operations for few wells/clients across Western Canada, help D&C Teams ideas to improve productivity and/or reduce cost and risk.
