As a nimble and responsive Reservoir Engineer, I find it important and love to dig and ask “does this make sense” which provides the insights into opportunity identification, asset development, and solving problems. I enhance asset value utilizing Improved/Enhanced Oil Recovery and optimization strategies by understanding the economic factors I can influence (production, ultimate recovery, operating, and capital expenditures). I promote understanding, and confidence by framing the risk and uncertainties for decision making. My broad experiences have provided a strong understanding of all functional team roles which enables constructive discussion, promotes mentoring relationships and this results in team development and better decisions. I am a “Reservoir Specialist” in applying Improved/Enhanced oil recovery techniques, and an “Asset Maximizer" focusing on efficient use of funds and recovery. With experiences gained in piloting new technologies, the value lies in improvements and mistakes. For example: should one implement a single or seven-well pilot? Additionally, not all infill opportunities are equal with reservoir and fluid variations. My passion as a “Principled Thinker” ties to improving decisions with these uncertainties based on the data available but also correlates with the scale of the investment. It is essential to ask whether this makes sense with theory, a given dataset, and how we optimize and maximize the performance. There is also the need to characterize, and mitigate risks and uncertainties. “Asset Maximizer” also applies to the performance of our knowledge assets. I’ve found it essential to harness the diversity within the team and ensure constructive discussions to ensure cross-functional learning and improved decision-making. When I’m not at work, I love spending time with my wife and daughters, their activities, and planning our next world experience. I also enjoy trying new things, like spinning 33 wands for a Harry Potter birthday party. With my girls’ influence, I’ve developed an appreciation for the arts, music, other cultures, and history. Visiting Tallinn, Estonia, and a safari in South Africa were two absolute gems. To recharge the mind and body after a long day sitting at the computer, I can be found on the ice (curling, skating, or skiing), on the court playing badminton, or on weekends escaping to the fresh mountain air in our backyard the Rockies. “Let’s connect and discuss optimizing assets and creating value.”
