• Planned and executed assessment of survey and location database; developed new company wide policies, procedures, data flow, and enterprise solutions to improve data quality and refine processes• Wrote policies and procedures for management and quality control of company survey and well location data• Wrote standards and procedures for anti-collision and well planning• Supported the development of a web application to distribute and manage well data• Developed 2D and 3D well plans during the planning and execution phases of the well• Trained new survey management personnel as well as drilling engineers and geologists to use software for well planning and anti-collision• Audited surface locations of offset wells, resulting in the discovery of 5 unknown wells or incorrect surface locations which posed an elevated collision risk to actively drilling wells, potentially saving millions of dollars in well cost• Assisted in developing and refining tools in MATLAB used to assess and correct survey data quality

• Geo-steered nearly 100 live wells using petrophysical data; making time sensitive decisions in collaboration with a multi-discipline team to ensure maximum formation exposure, and well production while minimizing drilling time• Reviewed and assessed viability of geologic pre-spud planning based on available offset and seismic data

• Acted as the direct client contact in the field, explaining tool operations and measurements to the client and making suggestions to improve the efficiency of the drilling process and reduce cost for the client• Identified and resolved problems with software and high value equipment using creative problem solving and limited remote support • Trained new personnel to use software and equipment; acted as a point of contact for troubleshooting as a lead engineer• Made quick, correct decisions while under pressure resulting in no non-productive time due to human error• Monitored quality of data acquired while drilling directional wells, assuring comprehensive and accurate data is delivered to the client in a timely manner• Assembled, programmed, tested, and ran measurements and logging while drilling equipment• Obtained direction and inclination, and reservoir characterization data on site during the drilling process; working 12 or more hours a day for 7 days a week on jobs lasting up to several months• Offshore LWD experience with projects in Equatorial Guinea, Africa as lead and second hand running nuclear, sonic, formation pressure, annular pressure, resistivity, and gamma ray tools
