• Reduce drilling costs by ≈$200,000 per well by decreasing non-productive time• Create Wellbore Stability Models (Techlog) for a 5-6 drilling rig program• Predict flow, loss, collapse, and breakdown pressure gradients• Work closely with development Geologist and Drilling Engineer on developing casing designs and predictive mud programs

Irving, Tx

• “You Rock” performance award.• Lead the planning of cost-effective horizontal wells in Andrews and Martin counties from surface location to total depth (up to 3 drilling rigs/40+ wells).• Incorporate Geological and geophysical data to mitigate hazardous drilling zones.• Produce evergreen geologic maps for area of responsibility including gross structure and isopach as well as stratigraphic hazards within specific formations.• Create drilling event Spotfire dashboard for all Planning Geologists and perform well lookbacks to capture successes and opportunities for improvement on past wells.

Irviing, Tx

• “Exceeding Producer” performance award.• Geosteer 50+ wells in multiple counties across the Midland Basin.• Frequently responsible for the simultaneous operations of several riglines.• Analyze the drilling performance of 100+ historic wells to identify optimal drilling zones and drilling hazards.• Train incoming Operations Geologists.
