Daniel Bour Email & Phone Number

Granite Falls, WA, US

• Aided in introduction of foam cementing technology that solved a severe lost circulation cementing problem
• Act as drilling engineer and superintendent on projects ranging from geothermal drilling in Indonesia to drilling an exploration well in the Caribbean
• Lead and participate in renewable energy and recycling projects

Frisco, Texas, US

• Provided Technical support for drilling & cementing X-HP-HT well — 450 °F and 30 KPSI
• Developed and performed testing of a cement replacement system and an all-metal external casing packer for production zonal isolation
• Evaluate EGS Geothermal power development opportunities

Milton, QLD, AU

• Drilled, completed, stimulated, and produced from an enhanced geothermal system (EGS) well, enabling Geodynamics to prove the concept of EGS electrical power production
• Directed technology resources to advance the company’s ambitious goals
• Performed well construction cost analysis and design changes that reduced well costs by over 50%
• Solved a thermal expansion issue by improving thermal efficiency of a well, obviating the need for constant monitoring and for purchasing $50K in equipment
• Led the successful design, execution, and evaluation of the first reverse circulation cement job in Australia

Seattle, WA, US

• Developed multi-zone stimulation technology and method for EGS and conventional geothermal wells without the need for a drill rig or mechanical isolation methods, resulting in 40–60% increase in production and.
• Awarded 4 patents and filed multiple provisional patents

Houston, Texas, US

• Identified root cause of cement job failure, which led to adjusted practice of rheological modeling for well fluids
• Determined cause of failure of liner cement job that led to change in thermal modelling standard practices
• Assembled and taught multiple oil well cementing schools for well operator personnel
• Designed a process to extinguish coal mine fire using oilfield cementing equipment with cement and lost circulation materials, recouping millions of dollars’ worth of mining equipment
• Designed ultra-high-density cement slurry and helped execute pumping of 22 lb/gal cement used on a tie-back string, averting a potential blow-out and enabling the customer to complete the project
• Resolved a well failure in a high-stress geothermal well by performing FEA of cement, recommending alternative cement materials and placement method and assisting with field implementation
