Optimized daily production and set points for 100 wells in an unconventional Delaware Basin gas lift field including flowback, natural flow, primary artificial lift, and late-life plunger-assisted gas lift operationsIdentified workover and slickline opportunities, designed gas lift installations, generated AFEs, and evaluated and mitigated execution risks using PROSPER wellbore modeling, decline curve analysis, and economic evaluationCommunicated daily with field operations teams and built strong relationships through frequent field visitsForecasted monthly and yearly production and expense targets and outperformed 2023 prior plan targets with the lowest production downtime among analog fieldsCollaborated with a multi-discipline asset development team for well reviews, future development planning, facility upgrades, and produced water disposal in a sensitive operating environmentMentored a student intern to progress multiphase flowmeters from pilot phase to full scale deployment

Covington, Louisiana, United States

Led a cross-functional project team to plan, cost, and execute a $20MM capital development projectSimulated multiphase fluid flow in reservoirs and wellbores with a variety of fluid and pressure drop characterizations to accurately forecast future production and flow assurance constraintsInfluenced operating partners to evaluate new vendor technologies and share technical workUpdated hydrocarbon reserves in compliance with government and company regulations for external reporting

Houston, Texas Area

Reviewed literature to construct a complete chemical reaction network for refinery isomerization processesFormulated and programmed in Fortran a first-principles kinetic model to improve prediction accuracy compared to existing modelImplemented rigorous thermodynamic flash calculations to model multiphase fluid temperature and compositions at client's request

Covington, La

Evaluated incremental recovery of 18 development opportunities for production and injection wells on a mature deep-water reservoir using simulation and 4D seismic dataRecommended a cross-functional team prioritize 5 development opportunities with a combined net present value of $184 millionDeveloped probabilistic forecasts to identify the uncertainties with largest impact on simulation outcomesPiloted a new feature of a simulation tool and suggested productivity improving features

Returned for second year and received additional responsibilities. New accomplishments as a scientist included:Developed Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for measuring wet tack, dry tack, peel adhesion, shear strength, pouch seal strength, and tensile strengthDecreased time required to conduct above tests by 70% by creating projects and macros using Exponent software for the TA.XTPlus (Texture Analyzer)Assisted conducting 1H-NMR and HPLC tests to model pharmacokinetic behavior of products.
