• Maintaining compliance with all local regulatory requirements and internal Repsol norms and standards. norms and standards.
• Providing day-to-day technical support during the project execution phase by participating in the management of change (MOC) process, providing real-time analysis, supporting Daily Drilling Reporting (DDR) and working.
• Maintaining rigorous cost control during the execution phase by generating Purchase Requisitions (PR), Purchase Orders (PO) and Service Entry Sheets (SES) in order to certify drilling costs daily.

Calgary, Alberta, Canada

1). Monitor real-time data throughout drilling operations for assigned rig lines.2). Learn and assist with recognizing trends in real-time data which relate to improvement opportunities or health of the well and the avoidance of drilling hazards.3). Performing torque & drag, buckling, hydraulics analysis.4). Develop daily reports with remote operations.

Calgary, Canada Area

1) Worked with engineering and operations teams to assist in developing detailed drilling procedures (DDP’s) for all phases of the drilling operations.2) Liaising with Supply Chain Management team to generate key documentation including equipment quality plans as well as providing technical inputs during the competitive bid process.3) Completed project.

North Sea, United Kingdom

Rotational wellsite drilling engineer for HPHT exploratory wells on semi-submersible & jackup rigs in the North Sea. Duties include:1). Monitoring the daily progress of well operations. Keep track of current daily costs, comparing actual costs with expenditure proposals and recommending cost-effective changes.2). Ensuring Process Safety Information (PSI).

Calgary, Canada Area

1). Implemented and followed the Nexen Well Delivery Process (WDP) for completion operations, ensuring a consistent approach to all factors which influence Process Safety Management (PSM). These included the application of sound completion design, planning and operational practices that meet regulatory requirements.2). Conducted and stewarded Hazard.

Calgary, Alberta, Canada

1). Assisted the drilling team in identifying abandoned surface holes in the oil sand asset, and helped accurately construct the wellbore event. From this, the wells were brought into compliance in line with AER directives, and better standards of practice for the engineering team was developed. 2). Helped the Abandonment team create missing legacy wells.

Evans, Colorado, USA

1). Involved in the project evaluation and economic viability of horizontal plunger lift systems in the Denver-Julesburg Basin with production packers in the wells. Made recommendations for well optimization 2). Created a workover cost summary sheet of the major intervention activities in the Wattenberg field. In doing so, this will help create more.

Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

1). Supervised 3-5 man pit crews in the installation of graded mainline sewer/storm pipes in residential & commercial developments. 2). Guided operators in the digging of residential services to proper elevation, then supervised installation of the service pipes.3). Guided operators in the digging of catch basins and manholes, then supervised installation.

Dawson Creek, British Columbia, Canada

1).Helped supervise 2-3 man crews in daily rig operations.2).Maintained mechanical/electrical/mud systems around the rig.
