Experience:

Petroleum engineer with five years of experience, both domestic and international, in reservoir, production, and drilling projects. Experienced in reserve estimation, field studies, sand control and management, decline curve analysis, project economics, production forecasting, field development planning, gas-lift design and operations, and production log analysis. Geographic areas worked include the Gulf of Mexico and the Niger Delta. Proficient in using PC and UNIX based petroleum engineering applications, nodal analysis tools, SAM, PROSPER, GAP, MBAL, Perform, WePS, HORVIP, PEEP, OA Tool, PA, PUMA, and EPPROMS. Skilled in all Microsoft Windows applications.

Was responsible for workover proposals, new wells, well-work proposals, acid stimulation, production log analysis, pressure transient analysis, gas-lift optimization, reserve estimation, field review, budgets, depletion plans, and risked project economics. Planned and executed drilling and workover programs in a gas field, boosting production by 85% and optimizing wellbore use. Planned and executed a compression project in a gas field. Boosted liquid production ten-fold with a workover program and a new gas-lift design. Increased production by installing orifice check valves in oil and gas wells that have no gas-lift mandrels. Identified bottlenecks in the production facility. Managed wells with sustained casing pressures.

Was responsible for workover proposals, field and well surveillance, gas-lift optimization, and field development planning. Planned and executed through-tubing acid stimulation, through tubing sand consolidation, through tubing internal gravel packs, through tubing perforation, wireline repairs, and recompletions. This boosted short-term oil production by 75 percent. Initiated the use of strip guns in underbalanced perforating and eliminated skin damage seen in previous completions. Designed and implemented acid stimulation treatments.

Was responsible for reservoir management, reserve estimation, volumetric calculations, pressure transient interpretation, reservoir fluid estimation, programming wells for BHP survey, preparing area and depth plots, and determination of gross bulk volume from area and depth plots. Created a reservoir database for producing fields.
