Current projects include:1) Inductive couplers and fully electric sensing and control platform called Manara that can branch umbilicals into laterals. 2) Thru-tubing Retrievable Intelligent Completion System (TRICS).3) Density sensitive ICDs4) Spoolable monitoring system for ICDs - permanent monitoring of 20 compartments, for the same price as one PLT run.5) Universal Horizontal Completion system - imagine we got the whole horizontal completion concept wrong. What if one completion design could fill the needs for intelligent wells, ICD completions, barefoot, two trip, MSF, extended reach, ESPs and more? That is what UHC intends to solve. Show less

WellDynamics was fully acquired by Halliburton. All duties and responsibilities remained the same.

Was the systems architect of the world's first SmartWell completion. Was Chief Engineer in charge of developing the SCRAMS system, comprising the HF-1 Packer, Sensor Actuator Module (SAM), and 4P-ICV. Was demonstrated in 1996 and run into the first commercial well in 1997. Further developments included IV-ICV and GL-ICV in 1998, Digi-Hydraulics in 1999, MC-ICV and MC Packers in 2003. Many other improvements and size developments completed along with these products. Developed next… Show more Was the systems architect of the world's first SmartWell completion.
