(Merged with California Resource Corporation on Aug. 2024)- Support process and mechanical integrity for Valley Wells team (Belridge, Lost Hills, MWSS)- Manage mechanical integrity program of 22,000+ in-service equipment (inspections, repair plans, hydrotest plans, bad actors, Fitness-for-Service (FFS) assessment, implementation of ASME/API code)- Simulate process models on SLB Symmetry for analysis (debottlenecking, sizing, heat transfer)- Optimized DTR (Diatomite Thermal Recovery) MI program by removing +430 inspections/year: o Led team of MI Engineers, Production Engineers, Safety Team,and Operations in a risk management project to eliminate 160+ low risk inspections per year. Applied Six Sigma techniques for analysis (DTR Cyclic) - Identify and apply process improvements that deliver net savings: o Successfully executed project to bypass highmaintenance/energy DTR fans. Resolved high failure Cogen line with chemical injection solution. Optimized Lost Hills Chemical Injection (Using temperature correlation). Implement flowline replacement with composite pipe rather than cement-lined CS for cost savings.- Generating and actively pursuing incremental oil production opportunities including reduction of well backpressure (20+ psig reduction on DTR/Tulare wells) and system debottlenecking- Lead MOC/PHAs to implement operational change/address process safety concerns (15+ projects completed till date) - Conduct RCFA analysis to identify/resolve root issues for process upsets (leaks, shutdowns)- Collaborate and communicate with key stakeholders to develop and align on project deliverables (Operations, Subsurface Engineering, HSE, Finance, Contractors, etc.)

- Direct ESC by managing the executive board of members, guiding directors/liaisons in promotion of inter-chapter communications and events, attending/overseeing conference meetings that consist of members of domestic and global AIChE chapters.- Lead and oversee board of 5 executive directors that in turn look over the chairs and liaisons for each department [over 100 chairs and liaisons]- Led recruitment of ~ 200 ESC applicants across from 12 countries

- Correspond with Student Chapters in Western region monthly (Previous year was with Mid-Atlantic)- Help grow and improve assigned Student Chapters, assist with any problems the Chapters may encounter- Participate in monthly calls with other Regional Liaisons and attend region-wide and ESC-wide conference calls to report updates and discuss details regarding all the chapters in the area

Wilmington, California, United States

Optimized and troubleshooted 4 units (Hydrocracker, Acid Plant, Fluid Catalytic Converter (FCC), and Alkylation Unit) - Resolved issue of lack of flow rate in Acid Plant to reduce H2_S emissions by conducting Darcy hydraulic calculations (Excel and Aspen HYSYS) and using pressure surveys. - Developed Advanced Process Control inferential calculations for DCS (Distributed Control System) to reduce steam usage for economical savings and conducted test runs and lab samples for debutanizer in the Hydrocracker unit. - Generated Excel/PI Vision tool that automatically updates feed/outlet compositions aroundAlkylation unit for mass balance visualization- Created Troubleshooting document for catalyst losses in FCC unit that can be used at all refinery sites. Includes overview of the impact of losses and describes likely areas where the losses are likely coming from

Ucla

(Under Doctor Guio)- Currently studying electrochemical catalysis, particularly with respect to energy and chemical transformations for sustainable energy applications. - Run SMR (Steam Methane Reforming) and run GC analysis of the gas products in the reactions.

Ucla

- (Under Dr. Manousiouthakis) -Worked on new model and diagram of the super capacitors of the hydrogen powered electrical tricycle that is efficient in functionality and safe. The areas of focus also include the motors, programmable DC motor controllers, and Hydrogen fuel cell. -In 2019, reassembled (setup and wiring) the old model of the tricycle (used in the past) which allowed us to figure out how to create the new model with improved specifications with fuel efficiency, power, speed, and so on. - Also developed SOPs for handling and conducting trial runs and experimentation. - Project #2 in link

Bakersfield, California, United States

- Analyzed twin wells for SSD Maturation team in the Kern River field and created recommendations that include shut-ins, RTFs, and abandonments to help improve operational expense management. - Used ARM tools (RaView, ArcMap, Foresite, Excel) to analyze over 470+ wells that relate to production, location, downtime history, and other key operational aspects. - Collaborated with cross-functional teams to demonstrate impact of recommendations, financial impact, and solicit diverse feedback - (SSO, Finance, Earth Science stakeholders, etc.)- Quantified and analyzed the economic value that the recommendations generate for the company - Surface/subsurface maintenance, electricity, heat management

Bakersfield, California, United States

- Generated remedial opportunities for the SSO East team at the Kern River oilfield to maximize oil production while being cost-efficient. - Recommended remedial work-overs such as Sidetracks, Deepenings, Proactive/Reactive Pump lowers, and Salvage Perforations- Used software applications (which include RaView2, Arc-Map, E-Map, LOWIS, Offset Productivity Tool, and WOQ) to analyze wells and the different zones that need attention and determine the economic quality and chance for improvement of each one. - Maximized oil incremental while being cost efficient for financial success by determining payouts, disposable personal income, and net present value (NPV) across the wells analyzed.

- LEAP (Lifetime Engineering Applications Project) project that uses Pro II, a CAD software, to create and show the chemical process design that will be used to demonstrate real-world application through presentation. - Team process design for the production of anhydrous ammonia through Pro II software with beneficial financial incentive as it involves several processes such as cryogenic distillation, Haber-Bosch, natural gas purification, and etc.-Have the design producing 99.8% pure Ammonia with MDEA recycle streams to reduce waste in process.

- Project includes process design for alcohol manufacturing through Pro II with team. Team developed a process requiring methods of separation (distillation) by using the properties of different states, temperatures, and amounts to get to final products. - Team financially analyzed the production of the final design by looking at labor costs, profit, return of interest, and etc. -Process produces 87.5 Liters of 80 Proof Tequila per day at proper temperature and pressure.

Ucla

- Responsible for developing bioreactor which automates the conversion of waste oil (from the UCLA dining halls) to usable biodiesel through a processing and washing method. - Assisted with the installment of the heater for the product to be further purified. - By purifying the oil, the products of biodiesel were usable in several departments (oil, energy) while the left-over glycerol was to be used in the soap manufacturing.
