M. S., Mechanical Engineering, Texas A & M University

Experience:

Production and reservoir engineer with 7 years experience working for major oil producing and oilfield service companies. Expert in well test and inflow performance analysis. Experienced in reserve estimation, decline-curve analysis, risk evaluation, formation evaluation, economic evaluations, acquisitions and divestitures, and reserve reporting. Geographic areas worked include Alaska and the Gulf Coast. Computer skills include ARIES, Production Analyst, PanSystem, Dwight's/PI, Prophet, DBOS, Excel, Lotus 1-2-3, MS Word, WordPerfect, Power Point, Eudora, and GroupWise.

As contract reservoir engineer, developed new acquisitions through well test analysis, log interpretation, enhanced recovery, reserve forecasting, and economic analysis.

As senior engineer for drill bit optimization systems, evaluated scores of commercial projects, saving one operator in south Texas $90,000 and 9 days drilling time as a result of the lithology analysis and drill bit recommendations. Directed and scheduled projects in the engineering department in Houston, and served as advisor for the company's 10 international satellite stations. Researched drill bit database to improve computer-modeling accuracy and to conceive new correlations for the next generation of simulators.

Increased oil production rate and reduced pump vanes, installing replaceable wear bushings, and coating pump with pressure gas gathering system. Conducted pressure transient analysis to characterize the reservoir for optimum exploitation.

Pioneered the use of a lightweight battery-powered well logging tool for remote Alaskan wells. This inexpensive alternative logging tool allowed the testing of wells that were previously prohibitively expensive. Researched company files and developed uniform vendor drilling systems measurement of oil production functions on offshore platform.
