I am interested in applying for the IT/petroleum assistant/Data Analyst position. My career has given me experience as an engineering assistant, network administrator, application and/or network support, software development, mapping, project analysis, data management, databases, spreadsheet on DOS, Windows, or UNIX OS. I have over 20 years of computer support in many different industries while completing my BS degree in Computer Science at Metropolitan State College. This has taught me the different levels of needed data that objects will be able to piece together in enhanced computer applications; different object combinations for different users. Giving both school, which focused on the object-oriented development/programming (C++, Java, VB), and work my full attention has led to more responsibilities, increase my broad communication skills, and understanding to what was needed through my queries.

While working part-time at HS Resources, a petroleum exploration firm, I built spreadsheets in Excel on new oil & gas well characteristics in and around the DJ area for additional exploration prospects. They hired me full-time to help produce and maintain the full extent of the Access database to aid engineers in their analysis of near by wells. I converted my Excel spreadsheets to the Access database where I built a user GUI. I ran daily/monthly updates importing data, made various SQL queries/triggers, and helped develop the SQL & Visual Basic (VB6, VBA) code in the Windows OS platform. I developed various SQL commands like AVG, MAX, MIN, SUM, OR, AND, BETWEEN, ORDER, INNER and OUTER join commands with others.When hired full time, I also made a database and template macro for the Marketing Department for tracking vendors' accountability.

I've made several graphs and equations in Excel spreadsheets with SQL at HS Resources and KMG; mud weight, pore pressure, fracture gradient versus depth, pore pressure, daily production for oil, gas, water, decline curves, Monte Carlo, etc... I've also made well bore diagrams with liners, tubing, casings, (float) collars, packers, pay zones, etc... I've dealt with financial AFE, input daily/monthly production, perforation(s), core, AOF and IP data, uploaded OPS into Aries, upload the Drilling Wire, and calculated well monthly cost and reserve forecasts. I was using my probability and statistical knowledge. Using Excel, I've also made and normalized tornado charts and made triggers for abnormal data. I've used Neurolog scanner/software, Geographix, Cross Section module, Kingdom data entrance, and A2D's Smart Section Software for depth registration.

At USGS-WRD and HS Resources under ARCINFO and ARCGIS, I've developed maps by digitizing, entered data, and added various attribute tables/layers as needed.

Kerr-McGee Rocky Mountain Corporation, HS Resources and Desk & Derrick have trained me in ArcGIS, Aries, Geographix, G & G Application, PowerTools, Aries, Nonverbal Communication, and Data & Engineering Software Awareness. Through KMG and IPAMS, I've gone on field trips to a seismic acquisition to Holyoke, Colorado, and a rig trip to Hicks 4-7 in the Wattenberg field, Weld county, Colorado.

I was working part time with Qwest and HS Resources, which has given me an opportunity to interact and communicate with customers and engineers. At one point I worked 80 hours per week while attending school that has yielded letters of recommendation from both employers.

I hope you had time to review my qualifications. I am highly motivated and anxious to get into the work field to apply the knowledge I have acquired and to learn new skills. I feel my skills and ability would be an asset to your company. The references and letters of recommendation I can supply will attest to my problem solving skills, dependability and conscientiousness as an employee.

Thank you for your time. Warren Gaal
