Managed daily production responsibilities for ~ 500 EF shale horizontal wells averaging 30 Mbopd, 36 MMcfpd.• Designed and implemented artificial lift systems for multi-well pads, including rod lift, plunger lift, gas lift, and electrical submersible pumps (ESPs), maintaining base production of wells.• Conducted tri-weekly route reviews, evaluating production goals vs. forecast and base optimization opportunities, exceeding team goal of 2017 base production improvement of 2.5%. • Held bi-annual route reviews in the field, assessing highest production variance and controllable expense wells in addition to identifying incorrect allocation or coding of costs for accounting purposes. • Generated economics for capital / operating expense AFEs, including rod lift installs, repairs, coil tubing / work-string lateral cleanouts, for routing and approval by upper management prior to scheduling of all projects.• Followed drill / frac schedule closely for impact on timing of drill-outs, SIMOPs, offset frac interference, confirming proper opening of new turn-in-line / shut-in wells, and helping to achieve 2017 team goal of 40% reduction from drill-out end to turn-in-line (12 days). • Assisted with planning developments, midstream, pipeline, and central facilities for proper handling of volumes, and ensuring year-end budget goals were met.• Coordinated with land and regulatory departments for filing of P&A documents with state and county on inactive wells for regulatory compliance.

Utilized Chesapeake Surveillance Tool / Cygnet to oversee 650 wells for production and LOE trends, primarily located in Woods County, OK and provide technical support to field personnel. • Organized marginal well analysis for lower-producing vertical wells during declining market conditions for evaluation of shut-in, workover, or review for recompletion in other formations.• Communicated with land and regulatory on sensitive dates for production, required shut in payments for leasehold acreage, hunting season restriction, and / or intent to P&A for down wells per regulations.

Managed daily rig operations for Eagle Ford shale horizontal wells for multiple rig contractors utilizing water & oil base mud systems, including running spudder rig program for surface-hole operations.• Created directional plans for multi-well pads including generation of drill-string / casing design models for torque and drag analysis through Landmark Compass and DecisionSpace Well Engineering programs, effectively planning ~ 50 deviated horizontal shale wells, with lateral lengths ranging 5K’ – 9K’.• Generated AFEs, created drilling procedures, and developed cost code cheat sheet for field personnel, assisting in accurate coding of invoices / costs in WellView in addition to querying data.• Optimized efficiencies in drilling performance with field personnel, troubleshooting any issues encountered, emphasizing safety and industry standard drilling best practices with new technology for continuous improvement, and achieving target spud-rig release days and under $100 cost per foot.• Monitored daily expenditures of all tangible and intangible drilling costs to ensure reporting accuracy of tracked items in WellView database resulting in less than 5% variance of drilling AFE and final field cumulative estimates. • Coordinated with supply chain on new request for proposals for reduction in cost of services during down market conditions, resulting in 20% decrease in contract labor costs.• Collaborated closely with asset team, holding pre-spud meetings for review of geological targets, lease / unit boundaries, downhole completion equipment, HSE, and expected wellbore deviation for future artificial lift design, addressing any concerns, constraints, or last-minute design changes prior to spud.

Aided superintendent, company representative, and drilling engineer with daily drilling duties at the field and corporate levels to ensure proper safety and execution of drilling operations.• Worked as evening tour company representative, ensuring operations were executed according to drilling procedure provided by engineer.• Recorded 24-hr activity of drilling parameters and mud properties, updating bottom-hole assemblies, surface and production casing inventory, and keeping track of daily costs in WellView database.• Coordinated with 3rd-party vendors for services needed during operations including casing crews, containment and trenching, cementing, float equipment, blow-out preventer / wellhead testing, power-washing, wireline, drill bits, pipe inspection of corrosion, wall loss, or other defects, preventing unnecessary non-productive time.• Monitored real time data in OKC drilling operations center, managing 20-rig program in south Texas using NOV MD Totco system in addition to Spotfire tools built in the DOC, assisting engineers with identifying potential issues during drilling while also helping to mentor younger drilling analysts.
