Oversee 5 third party custody transfer metering stations | Manage Directive 017 maintenance program of 1100+ transmitters | Direct continuous emissions maintenance program of 8 CEMS units | Creation and ongoing maintenance of measurement schematics | Execute daily review of facility volumetric balances to ensure data integrity | Validation of flow calculations | Support corporate measurement EPAP and environmental GHG audits | Train & mentor measurement technicians | ✓ Successfully identified and eliminated noise on custody transfer meter, then collaborated with a third-party provider to implement a flow cut-off. Estimated cost savings of $1.2M over nine years by preventing noise migrating through to production accounting tickets.✓ Implemented Directive 017 exemptions, deferring 285 calibration and internal inspection work orders from annual maintenance schedules, resulting in average annual workforce savings of $161,775.✓ Developed and implemented standard operating procedures and site-specific check sheets for regulatory measurement tasks, meeting AEP and CEMS Code requirements. Achieved annual cost savings of $47,500 by bringing previously outsourced tasks in-house.✓ Discovered center shifts in two ultrasonic custody transfer meters, resulting in significant flow rate errors. After third-party cleaning, diagnostics returned to baseline levels, saving an estimated $225K/year based on energy content and flow rates.✓ Identified opportunities for single-point fuel gas measurement on offsite pads, saving an average of $27,400 in workforce and material costs per pad per year, while also improving measurement reliability. As of 2022, installed on 16 pads (and increasing), resulting in $438,400 in annual workforce and material savings.✓ Contributed to annual cost savings of over $1M by implementing various cost-saving initiatives and year-over-year performance improvements.

Christina Lake Sagd Facility

Performed analysis, troubleshooting, calibrations, and inspections on all MARP meters as well as Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEMS) | Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) | HIPPS testing |✓ Upgraded magnetic flow meters to incorporate smart meter verification capability, facilitating quicker calibrations and yielding annual workforce savings of $31,680. Successfully implemented the upgrade across 18 meters.✓ Effectively coordinated the planning and scheduling of the Measurement group throughout 2015 and 2016, achieving over 95% compliance both years.✓ Optimized the calibration methodology for raw water meters, resulting in annual savings exceeding $5,300.✓ Enhanced test equipment calibration practices by extending calibration intervals from one year to two years, leading to a 50% year-over-year cost reduction. Historically, site-wide costs averaged $20,000 annually.✓ Ensured adherence to the site MARP by identifying and generating preventive maintenance tasks for over 55 meters across operating phases.✓ Developed a comprehensive 10-year schedule for the radiography of flow elements, balancing compliance requirements and costs. Achieved a notable 32% reduction in costs from 2014 to 2015, amounting to $28,500 in 2015, despite the addition of new well pads.✓ Spearheaded strategic improvements in measurement and calibration practices, resulting in annual cost savings of $75,480, contributing significantly to operational efficiency and financial performance.
