Part of GE’s Customer Innovation Centre in Calgary, my division specialized in serving LNG clients with goods and services including frac pumps, remote water heating, and drilling rigs. Applying data analytics and machine learning to industry challenges, my team improved operational efficiencies and delivered solutions to meet our clients’ needs. While supporting oil and gas compression, LNG, CNG, and power projects, a few of my achievements have included:► Performed FEED studies for $1B in turnkey LNG liquefaction processes and rotating equipment (pre-cooled mixed refrigerant, single cycle mixed refrigerant, closed loop nitrogen expansion, and open loop methane expansion).► Acted as design lead on $243M project for City of Calgary’s transit system, providing bidding team with efficient and low OPEX/CAPEX solution (Waukesha, Jenbacher CHP, HSR compression, electrical, and M&C) to fill 400 transit buses daily.► Supported bidding on multiple 200 MW power projects, providing economic modeling, lifecycle NPV analysis, and technical support on Jenbacher J920 Flextra LNG Gas to Power Initiative.► Prepared data analytics for business development opportunities in digital, renewables, grid, transportation, lighting, and healthcare projects.► Redesigned Electric Submersible Pump (ESP) for long-term 275 degree Celsius service in SAGD operations, collaborating with engineers to improve factory processes and test a high-temperature motor and pump prototype. ► Awarded GE Canada’s Above and Beyond Award in 2016, earning recognition for developing codes and standards for industry designate CSA Z276.

Working on PennWest’s 500 MMSCF/d Cordova Mitsubishi joint venture unconventional shale gas project, I piloted, permitted, and designed full cycle water source, storage, and disposal systems for multi-well pad drilling and completions operations. Partnering with regulatory bodies and area stakeholders, we successfully applied for and managed 1M+ cubic meters of water use permits and pumping campaigns. Designing a pressurized on-demand water supply and UV light treatment system, supply costs were decreased by 60%. In this role I also debottlenecked a 140 MMSCF/d plant for shale gas operations, planning infrastructure requirements and advising on costs. Highlights of this role include:► Eliminated on-lease frac water tanks, water storage bins, and surge tanks, designing on-demand supply and frac manifold systems. ► Built one of the largest aboveground frac water storage impoundments and high-rate water treatment systems, serving as a water hub for several multi-well pads. ► Designed 21,000 BHP gas turbine generator and electric drive “clean-side” pressure pumping platform, reducing shale gas completion costs by 30%.► Updated foreign JV partner and management teams, mentored EITs and junior personnel, and led safe opeations.

A Senior Production Engineer within Alberta Foothills, NW AB, NE BC, Horn River, and Liard Shale Gas Basins, I investigated and applied new technologies to more than $1B in upstream LNG feedstock developments. This work included multi-frac well design, application, and production engineering on the New Venture Exploration Team, as well as water management, sand handling, completions, operations, and resource assessments. Most significant to this role was the development of the Debolt Aquifer Storage Reservoir and water treatment processes, and additional highlights include:► Defended multi-million dollar SR&ED tax claims with CRA, securing 100% success on claims for drilling, completions, and evaluations of pilot wells.► Managed multi-rig projects in NEBC and Alberta, leaving no stranded wells and employing novel non-disturbance pipeline installation techniques.► Delivered new foothills area gas plant, gathering and sales pipeline in record time.► Communicated with environmental companies, hydrologists, field staff, consultants, stakeholders, and executives, ensuring timely and cost-effective water management systems. ► Eliminated $8M in capital (compared to HSP pumping system), implementing high horsepower medium voltage drive multi-stage ESP frac water pumping system.► Spearheaded new water supply technologies, including 30 MMBTU remote frac water heating, 10” lay flat hose, HDPE, surge water tanks, large diameter portable storage bins, electric submersible pumps, control valves, automated tank levels, and surge tanks.

With Denver-based Evergreen Resources (formerly Pioneer Natural Resources), I fulfilled our corporate goal of sustainable unconventional resource development. The sole Alberta-based engineer, I fulfilled production, pipeline, facility, and regulatory functions, including initial completions, resource and economic assessments, AFEs, contract and JV negotiations, equipment procurement, cost control, construction supervision, HAZOP, P&ID development, and loss prevention review. Notable achievement include:► Doubled production in less than a year, lowering execution costs through vertical integration. ► Maintained facility cost averages under 5% of AFE, initiating design, engineering, supervision, execution, and permitting of pipelines, facilities, and gas compression projects.

Managing processes and mechanical engineering in the LNG and Cryogenics divisions, my work supported two commercial natural gas liquefaction, nitrogen rejection, and refuelling systems for stranded well locations which generated 5,000 gallons daily in Texas and California. ► Championed start-up and component testing for pilot scale N2 Turbo Brayton 500-gallon/day landfill gas liquefaction system (LFG to LNG process) at Hartland Landfill in Victoria. ► Integrated Cryostar ECO 70 and TC 120 Turbo Expanders in the Turbo-Brayton Refrigeration System, converting CAT D3406 to bi-fuel, diesel pilot ignition with raw landfill gas as fuel.

Prior to being purchased by Husky Energy in 2000, Renaissance operated a number of oil and gas facilities, batteries, wells, and pipelines at the Munson, Wayne North, and Verdant Valley Oil Operations. I reviewed production, enhanced efficiencies, resolved problems, and expanded production levels for 70+ wells and associated pipelines.
