GAS LIFT EXPERIENCE
Sales Engineer Gas Lift, McMurry-Macco Lift Systems, Houston, Tx. 1996 - 2001
City sales of gas lift equipment Houston
Managed the Chesapeake, Apache, and Seneca accounts as well as many more in the Houston area. Designed their horizontal Austin caulk gas lift wells
Highlights: The early designs for the Austin Caulk Horizontal wells headed so badly that the compressors were unable to run continuously. Working with the engineers we realized that the heading was caused by gas separating from the liquids in the lateral. We ran the tail pipe around the corner below the packer so that the end of the tubing would lay on the bottom of the lateral. The gas had to enter the tubing with the liquid and the heading stopped.
