Artificial Lift Engineer with over 5 years of experience in onshore and offshore wellwork operations on vertical and horizontal injectors and producers. Experience with artificial lift design and application selection for various producing environments. Proven track record of reducing operating costs, improving well productivity, and increasing run life in all oil fields previously worked. Experience

California Resources Corporation (CRC) – Long Beach, CA

Artificial Lift Engineer

08/2018 to Present

o Reduced total wellwork costs on Sucker Rod and Water Injection Wells by 11% per job, which contributed to ~$3.2 million savings over 2 years.

o Reduced overall life cycle cost for Electronic Submersible Pumps (ESP's) by ~20%, resulting in a go forward savings of

$3.5 million per year.

o Evaluated idle wellbore inventories, and performed economic evaluation involving discounted cash flow models to determine project feasibility based on various oil price scenarios. o Provided artificial lift design recommendations on high failure wells involving various challenging conditions including extended reach horizontal wells, low gross and API gravity oil, high sand and gas production. o Decreased ESP and sucker rod failure rates by nearly 6% and 12%, respectively, through increased an increased focus on root cause failure analysis (RCFA) and improved corrosion inhibitor treatment plans, o Provided various weekly operational KPI updates to CRC and city of Long Beach management regarding job costs, problem wells, and anticipated workover rig allocations.

Production Operations Engineer 10/2016 to 08/2018 o Executed wellwork and fishing operations on injectors with dual and single string injection packers, as well as producers with artificial lift systems including ESP, sucker rod, jet pump, and progressive cavity pump. o Worked with development team to design and execute capital wellwork involving TCP and wireline perforations, water zone shut offs, sand control through gravel packs, and matrix acid stimulation. o Prepared necessary documentation and interfaced with various regulatory agencies for prep for redrills and plug and abandonment operations to ensure compliance with California regulations. o Provided cost estimates on proposed rig work with an average 5% cost differential between the actual cost and AFE. o Decreased life cycle and average job costs on ESP producers by 4% and 8%, respectively, through reductions in unnecessary tripping operations and reusing equipment from previous workovers.

Reservoir Engineer 06/2016 to 10/2016

o Improved and increased estimates of OOIP, HCPVI, RF, and EUR, and through core sample analysis previously overlooked and recent petrophysical data.

o Increased estimated ultimate recovery of the reservoirs by nearly 30%. o Evaluated potential for pilot waterflood project based on projected oil rates, anticipated workover costs, and necessary facility upgrades to improve waterflood sweep patterns.

Area of Review (AOR) Project Lead 02/2016 to 06/2016 o Created Area of Review projects involving analysis of the base of fresh water protection of over 3500 wellbores to ensure regulatory compliance of proposed drill wells and current waterflood permitted areas. o Through VBA-based automation, reduced total hours spent creating each AOR package by 65%. o Trained, mentored, and oversaw day-to-day operations of 19 new contractors to assist with reviewing wellbore histories and creating wellbore diagrams to assist with creating AOR packages. o Developed various KPI metrics to identify areas of process improvement, forecasted total project costs, and created project timelines to ensure deadlines were met.
