Technical coach and mentor for five junior engineers and formal authority for assurance of safety-critical activities across Ann Gulf of Mexico operations.Mars TLP is Shell's highest producing and highest activity asset in the Gulf of Mexico. 95 kbeq/d production and 50 kbw/d water flood.

Delivered country-level well integrity expertise for all Shell ventures. Established well integrity management practices for Pearl GTL and demonstrated excellence across internal and external benchmarks.Managed team of 7 multi-disciplinary / multi-cultural professionals for 6 months as Interim WRFM Team Lead to ensure business continuity. Coached and developed multiple technical professionals, with a focus on rapid development of Qatari talent, to deliver results beyond expectation. Responsible for well integrity and performance of the production and injection wells at Pearl GTL. Pearl is the Shell production unit in the North Field, the largest natural gas field in the world.

Well, Reservoir, and Facility Management (WRFM) Led, without authority, a multi-disciplinary team of 13 surface/subsurface technical professionals to debottleneck a new platform from 40 MBEPD to 100 MBEPD while achieving voidage replacement target and staying within $35MM budget.Deputized as operations manager with full HSSE and business accountability for 30 days. Safely led operations through 7-day platform turnaround. The WRFM Team provides engineering support to Perdido production operations and field development. The Perdido Hub is in deepwater Gulf of Mexico with three subsea fields tied back to a SPAR in 8,600 feet of water.

"Well owner" for the asset. Accountable for well integrity and production optimization.Well integrity focus identified and corrected design and operational shortcomings to improve process safety.Planned and executed new well unload and ramp up to max sand-free rate for the original 8 subsea production wells.On call 24x7 for operational support with daily calls to the field and routine time on site.Project engineer for subsea-ESP replacements including stakeholder management for $30+MM in project costs.Refined regional well operating envelope standards to blend industry modeling/visualization standards with Shell-proprietary tools.The Perdido Hub is in deepwater Gulf of Mexico with three subsea fields tied back to a SPAR in 8,600 feet of water. 90 MBOPD, 120 MMSCFD, 10 MBWPD-Injection.

Applied LEAN principles based on success at Toyota and Aera Energy to build a central surveillance system for Shell's deepwater assets.Developed value stream workflows, standard operating procedures, and visual measures for lagging and leading KPIs.Change agent engaging with a diverse population to align on vision to centralize routine surveillance for all deepwater assets.Personally developed superior surveillance skills by working with subject matter experts to co-create an algorithm-based surveillance toolkit to notify about operational anomalies. Later adapted as Shell's Group standard for exception-based surveillance.

Rotated as junior engineer to support 3 different assets while learning the foundations of well integrity and production surveillance.Developed a practical method for annulus pressure bleedoff for mature wells with micro annuli pressure leaks. Lead onsite engineer for 19 well interventions: slick line, eline, and bullhead stimulation.Lead onsite engineer for new gas well unload and flow back to mature facility.

Volunteer Committee (Board) Member for the Power Ties Program. Chair of sub-committee which connected more than 80 at-risk students with New Orleans professionals for a work place visit and future mentoring.Power Ties develops middle-school age students from at-risk to raise awareness on the importance of education for professional development. The program includes a series of workshops focused on developing professional skills, creating professional connections for the students, and celebrating achievement through community out-reach events.
