Plan and execute proof-of-concepts, pilots and solution roll outs for technology that integrate petroleum engineering with data science:* Development of advisory system for production surveillance and optimization, deployed in 1000+ wells, which streamlined well troubleshooting cycle time by 2-5X, with significant value gains.* Conceptualized and managed.

Doha, Qatar

Development and refining of the integrated asset model of Al-Shaheen field. Streamlined the process for production optimization and forecasting using GAP model using automation+visualization framework developed while in Maersk Oil. Reliable daily optimization scenarios, forecasts and debottlenecking studies can now be delivered quickly, since GAP model is.

* Designed and programmed full scale Digital Oilfield system for a large Middle East field with >300 wells. Achieved a sustained gain in excess of >5,000 bopd and freed > 40% of engineer's time spent in data collection and analysis, to focus on adding real value. Creating and updating well + surface models, advanced exception based surveillance, virtual.

Denmark & Qatar

* Wellsite drilling engineer assisting drilling supervisor offshore for the execution of multiple workovers and drilling of new wells. Drilling calculations, supervision and reporting.* Fred 20% of engineers time offshore by developing simple drilling logistics software that was used for subsequent 6 years in multiple business units.

London, United Kingdom

Developed new techniques for establishing inter-well diffusivity/permeability using production history, data mining, and pressure transient analysis. Study was well received by Nexen, service companies and university, who continued research on techniques that could "save billions of dollars by avoiding unnecessary infill drilling" - best thesis prize.

Rio De Janeiro, Houston, Buenos Aires

• State of the art Digital Oilfield pilot project for Petrobras
• Designed automation scheme for gas lift production system optimization on two deep water fields
• Automated workflow for well test validation
• Mapped variables for key performance indicators on online monitoring system
• Developed calculations framework for online production reporting system

Morichal, Venezuela

Reviewed operating envelopes of wells and process facilities in 100 Mbopd field to ensure control system is properly configured before new facilities commissioning. Implemented operating envelopes into exception based surveillance system using PI Osisoft. Work managed to save several days of downtime during plant startup and rationalized more than 20.
