Designed data analysis tools and displays and worked with development personnel to build and troubleshoot. Collaborated with drilling and geology teams to increase team interaction, communication and discussions. Integrated third party contractors into our office adding to team environment and reducing personnel on location. Oversaw operations remotely from office, intervened with field personnel making corrective action, increasing optimization.● RTOC reduced sidetracks 75% within 6 months of beginning operations● Intervened and prevented unnecessary assembly replacement, saving over 2 days of rig time (>$100K savings)● Revised & Implemented Standard Operating Procedures which reduced failed drilling assemblies by 64% Show less

Liaison between field personnel and the engineering and geology teams in the office. Calculated and monitored anti-collision in real time and maintained definitive survey database. Reviewed and confirmed planned versus actual well construction. Assisted onsite foreman with data analysis, adherence to plans and decision making. Prepared pre-project risk assessments and recommended changes with supporting documentation. Analyzed performance, cost, and non-productive time data to improve processes… Show more Liaison between field personnel and the engineering and geology teams in the office. Calculated and monitored anti-collision in real time and maintained definitive survey database. Reviewed and confirmed planned versus actual well construction. Assisted onsite foreman with data analysis, adherence to plans and decision making. Prepared pre-project risk assessments and recommended changes with supporting documentation. Analyzed performance, cost, and non-productive time data to improve processes and positively impact the bottom line.● Successfully tested new survey process for surface holes, enabling 10’ well spacing. This increased number of wells per pad and reduced number of pads needed to be built saving $2MM+ per pad. Show less
