Work History

Completions Engineer | Bakken

ConocoPhillips
04.2013 - 10.2013

Completion Design of Bakken Wells in North Dakota:

  • Designed 24 detailed well completion & workover procedures for 6 multi-stage horizontal wells including cased-hole logging, frac treatment, and installation of liner, tubing and rod pump assembly.
  • Conducted first successful multi-well communication study utilizing DFIT, microseismic, chemical tracers, and surface gauges.
  • Interacted with field personnel daily to track scheduling and ensure necessary safety and environmental policies were followed.
  • Performed risk analysis of offset P&A and non-operated wells to determine if safety precautions should be taken to prevent inter-well communication during fracture treatment.
  • Coordinated with sub-surface, production, and facilities teams to ensure life-of-field requirements were built into completion design.
  • Monitored and QA/QC on-site drilling, completion, & workover operations and evaluated execution.

Completions Engineer | Canada

ConocoPhillips
10.2012 - 04.2013

Fracture Modeling and Cold-Weather Well Operations in Alberta

  • Conducted first extensive completion optimization study of the Bluesky field using a sensitivity model to determine optimum stimulation design including frac placement, fluid type, proppant, and number of stages.
  • Performed 500 hours of pre and post-treatment fracture propagation modeling, reservoir simulation, production forecast, and economic analysis using software packages including GOHFER, Predict-K, and WellWhiz.
  • Analyzed fracture growth potential and provided recommendations for prevention of of out-of-zone growth.
  • Monitored and QA/QC on-site fracture operations of 5 wells in the Duvernay, Montney, Cardium, Glauconite and Notikewin formations.

Well Interventions Engineer | Alaska

ConocoPhillips
05.2011 - 08.2011

New Techniques for Coil Tubing Cleanouts on North Slope

  • Researched viable technologies for coil tubing fill cleanouts in extended reach multi-lateral wells containing sand fill issues.
  • Identified & tested new coil tractor intervention technique to fully access and cleanout long horizontals.
  • Utilized viable technology for West Sak heavy-oil field and wrote procedure for first successful $0.5 million coil tubing fill cleanout using this technique.

Reservoir Engineer | North Dakota

ConocoPhillips
05.2010 - 08.2010

EOR Analysis of Cedar Creek Anticline in Williston Basin

  • Analyzed pattern level performance for 15 Cedar Hills gas flood injection patterns in Williston Basin.
  • Determined and quantified effectiveness of high-pressure air injection by utilizing flood efficiency diagnostics.
  • Studied reservoir compatibility to gas flooding in order to determine effectiveness of potential CO2 flood program.
  • Contributed to reservoir development and asset EOR strategy.
  • Asset sold to CO2-savvy Denbury Resources in Q1 2013 for $1.05 billion as a result of team valuation.

Production Operations Engineer | Louisiana

Artificial Lift Optimization in North Louisiana

  • Monitored, evaluated, and analyzed effectiveness of gas well artificial lift methods in North Louisiana including plunger lift and surfactant foamer.
  • Determined combined benefit of plunger lift and surfactant foamer usage for 33 gas wells in Haynesville, Bossier, and Cotton Valley formations while optimizing usage amounts and increasing plunger up time.
  • Created economic uplift by adding field value of $78,000/month.

Geological Engineer | Gulf of Mexico

Anadarko Petroleum
05.2008 - 08.2008

Geologic Structure Mapping in Deepwater Gulf of Mexico

  • Created map contours, fault structures, amplitudes, and estimated oil in-place volumes for Deepwater Gulf assets in East Breaks area - including prolific Nansen and Boomvang Fields.
  • Flew to the world's first truss production platform, Nansen Spar, to bring well online for first-oil production.
  • Became familiar with in-place volume calculations, well data acquisition, and geologic mapping through Petra software and organization tasks.
