•Performed pre-job activities including chemical compatibility testing, fluid system baseline testing and frac program creation. •Recommended technical solutions to possible hydraulic, geologic, or chemical issues encountered during hydraulic fracturing operations.•Consulted with customer representatives on location to implement design changes and troubleshoot issues. •Interpreted real time pressure and rate data in order to classify stimulation effectiveness as well as promptly diagnose downhole or surface issues.•Managed various types of hydraulic fracturing fluid systems such as crosslink (delayed and instant), slickwater, HVFR (High Viscosity Friction Reducer), and linear gel using QA/QC and real time pressure response analysis.•Managed the gathering, processing, and reporting of critical data obtained during a hydraulic fracturing operation.•Responsible for accurately tracking materials including sand, water, and chemicals to facilitate low non-productive time. •Responsible for generating and ensuring accuracy of field invoices. •Performed laboratory analysis including water TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) testing, and Biocide effectiveness bacteria testing•Worked with various hydraulic fracturing methods such as plug and perf (ball in place and ball drop) as well as dual well fracturing (hydraulically fracturing two wells at once). •Worked in various basins such including the DJ, Powder River, Piceance, Appalachian, and Williston.

Hays, Kansas, United States

•Analyzed the pumping condition of various producing wells by reading surface cards and pump cards that were generated by a well diagnostic tool (well dynamometer analysis).•Quantified the effectiveness of various wells’ chemical programs through analytical testing such as corrosion coupon analysis and field oil grind-outs.•Performed well failure analysis on downhole equipment during numerous well pull operations.•Completed a project that described how to reduce well failures by optimizing production fluid conditions as well as mechanical pumping conditions which was presented to a board of district managers.

Williamsport, Pennsylvania, United States

•Worked closely with the well tenders to test, troubleshoot, and perform maintenance on surface equipment (Gas production units, Wellheads, and Surface gathering pipelines).•Assisted the field team in performing a field compression operation by maintaining a strict flow rate schedule on assigned wells.•Performed LDAR methods on specified surface equipment.

Denver, Colorado, United States

•Continually practiced analytical skills by performing quality control on production data to create production reports and plots along with trends, which were shared internally and with partners. •Contacted several compression companies and evaluated their quotes in order to determine the compressor package for an onsite compression project.•Created Well Record reports as well as Well Completion reports that were delivered to the PA Department of Environmental Protection.

Denver, Colorado, United States

•Examined completion data in an attempt to understand and resolve flowback problems, which was successfully done and presented to the engineering department. •Completed a project that compared water production to well seasoning time in an attempt to discover more about the reservoir, and how to adjust operations accordingly. Results were eventually adopted.

Denver, Colorado, United States

•Performed detailed quality control by strategically analyzing production data obtained from two different sources and proposing possible problems to upper management.•Assigned to pull production data from ProdView for production reporting.

Denver, Colorado, United States

•Worked closely with the engineering team on various tasks in attempt to better day to day operations, resolve existing problems, and prevent future problems.•Managed invoices by ensuring specific approval elements and confirming correct entry into WellView.
