• Sole proprietor of Geosphere LLC, an independent operations geology services provider. Drilled over 100 wells with a dozen different clients and operators, providing 24/7 operations geology consulting to multiple rig lines, focused on geosteering complex wells in the Eagle Ford, Haynesville, Bakken and Permian basins.• Utilizing best practices in geology, geophysics, and operations geology to make the best decisions while drilling a horizontal well to land, drill, and increase in-target percentages. These results decrease drilling time, increase well productivity, and provide a streamlined approach towards operations geology.

Houston, Texas Area

• Geosteered 80 horizontal wells for 15 operators in North America in most major unconventional plays, including the Permian, DJ Basin, Eagle Ford, Haynesville, Woodford, Bakken Fayetteville, Mississippian Lime, SCOOP/STACK, and Marcellus.• Integrated with clients, supervisor, and product line champion to develop and deliver more pertinent and advanced geosteering results, including Mass Spectrometry utilization while geosteering, software development and report generation, advanced statistics and summary enhancements, and improving real-time responsiveness of the team.• Developed new SOPs, created training programs, and developed communications techniques to improve teamwide communication and workflows to streamline new-hire onboarding processes and increase ongoing technical and soft-skills development of team members.

Houston, Texas Area

• Geosteered 160 wells for operators in North America in most major unconventional plays; including the Eagle Ford, Permian, Niobrara, Haynesville, Woodford, Fayetteville, Mississippian Lime, Marcellus, and Bakken.• Develop workflows and business strategies to more effectively and efficiently meet our clients needs through technical refinement, streamlining workflows, and improving deliverables that provide valuable analytical results for future well planning and field development.• Train and mentor team members in technical and soft skills aspects of operations geology, including software manipulation, technical aptitudes, and communication refinement when working with a variety of field and office personnel.• Hone lateral placement techniques with clients to optimize wellbore positioning within the zone of interest. Coordinate with a wide variety of office and field personnel to integrate geological, geophysical, and engineering data in order to accurate assess the wellbore's position and determine the best path forward to meet client's objectives.

Houston, Texas Area

• Geosteered 50 wells for operators in North America in most major unconventional plays, including the Eagle Ford, Permian, Haynesville, Woodford, Fayetteville, Mississippian Lime, Marcellus, and Niobrara.• Coordinate with field personnel and clients on effective lateral placement techniques, focusing on smooth wellbores and staying within ideal stratigraphic intervals.• Mentor team members in technical and soft skills aspects of operations geology, including software manipulation, technical aptitudes, and communication refinement when working with a variety of field and office personnel.

Houston, Texas Area

• Geosteered 5 horizontal wells and 1 pilot hole in southeast Texas (Eagle Ford Unconventional Shale) for Recoil Resources as their in-house operations geologist.• Resteered/backsteered 85 legacy wells that were acquired by Recoil Resources to determine landing location, tops control, and lateral target placement.• Generated well plans using development geology best practices in tops projections, structure analysis, and target zone thickness to mitigate risks while landing and steering horizontal wells.

Houston

• Coordinated geophysical and structural mapping efforts amongst peers to identify new drilling leads within a 2,500 square mile region of the Gulf of Mexico.• Collaborated with engineers to mitigate geological drilling hazards in planning a deep water exploratory well with an estimated cost of $200 million.• Appraised the value of a new drilling prospect through a complete geological and geophysical analysis and advised company management to divest in the project due to lack of potential.Software and Instrumentation Skills:DecisionSpaceGeoscience - Halliburton Geologic Interpretation SuiteArcGIS - GIS Mapping SoftwareGeoX - Schlumberger Risk, Resource and Value Assessment SoftwareOWL - Lexco Offshore Gulf of Mexico DatabaseMicrosoft Suite - Excel Spreadsheets, PowerPoint, Word, Access, Outlook Software
