CAREER SUMMARY

Extensive work in unconventional plays in the U.S., Argentina, and Saudi Arabia. I understand their behavior, can identify flow regimes, and how to adapt estimation methods to capture correct forecasts. I have worked on probabilistically estimating volumes, implemented advanced statistical analysis, analyzed well spacing, ran economics, am experienced in programming, and machine learning. In consulting, I worked to ensure that the results captured consulting clients’ needs. Understanding of PRMS guidelines and SEC rules, and how to track Reserves and ROTR through the life of a project. In addition, I have experience with public speaking, with writing technical papers, and communicating effectively with people of different backgrounds.

EXPERIENCE

Reservoir Engineer Advisor, USI Technology, Houston, TX May 2020-current

Helping to solve underperforming infill well production by optimizing well spacing and reducing fracture interference for wells in the Permian and Delaware Basins. Not only increasing production but also increasing profit (NPV) for clients' unconventional projects.

Helped secure five new clients in one month through private events and public series, focused on maximizing infill well production and increasing NPVs.

Cross-functional team leader of developers and engineers, working to build a machine learning version of USI's software that will optimize customer experience. This innovative version of the software will provide customers with almost immediate forecasted results for their unconventional primary/infill wells.

Lead author on technical papers based on the work done for our clients, presenting at the SPE Hydraulic Fracturing Symposium in 2021. These papers were accepted based on the work done with USI since starting with them in May.

Reservoir Engineer Contractor, Gryphon Oil & Gas, Houston, TX May 2020-August 2020

Evaluate accuracy of Gryphon's MCMC hydrocarbon forecasts by hindcasting, using Python, SQL, and git repository

Reservoir Engineer, Pioneer Natural Resources, Irving, TX May 2019-August 2019
