• Developed bottoms-up performance management processes that analyze historical drilling performance to guide executive management in strategic decisions
• Utilized internal well performance data to benchmark against peers and drive capital efficiency improvements
• Created NAV models for an emerging unconventional play and advised senior management to pursue the venture
• Initiated year-over-year analysis of reported reserves to frame discussions around the long-term decline performance in Apache’s unconventional wells
• Analyzed operational & financial metrics for ’15-’19 drilling programs and reported results via Spotfire
• Performed ad hoc analyses for Apache’s Chief Operating Officer that were focal in Board of Director’s and senior leadership meetings

Permian

• Increased NPV $4 MM and reduced OPEX 10% by implementing a new chemical system in a legacy waterflood
• Responsible for 1,100 BOPD x 5 MMCFPD while optimizing surface operations and facility structure
• Oversaw the completion operations of 11 wells; including injection wells and producing recompletions

Houston, Texas Area

• Supported the annual capital planning process and highlighted key performance metrics that facilitated discussions around optimizing Apache’s strategic direction with the executive team
• Modeled cost structure changes across all plan submissions that accurately characterized inventory to ensure that it reflected the reality of service provider’s cost inflation in a rising commodity environment
• Created tools to demonstrate to leadership how the planned development timing in the Permian could be optimized to address production growth concerns
• Modeled alternative development scenarios in the Eagle Ford which included: restructuring Apache’s royalty interest and forming multiple third party carry scenarios to develop the asset

Houston, Texas Area

• Created a $55 MM impact by restructuring the expense capturing system for the North Sea region
• Increased proved reserves by 18 MMBOE in Egypt by redesigning the water-flood forecasting tools
• Characterized major target reservoirs across all Egyptian concessions and defined risked decline curves
• Analyzed a company scale acquisition opportunity in Egypt (EG) from a corporate reserves perspective
• Gained extensive exposure to concession economics, production sharing contracts, and SEC reserves reporting

Houston, Texas Area

• Secured funding for Eagle Ford drilling prospects that generated positive returns in a low-price environment
• Optimized Eagle Ford development plans using unconventional reservoir modeling software and volumetric distributions
• Implemented $900 M/well cost savings through optimized: central facility options, mud programs, and casing designs in Apache’s Eagle Ford acreage
• Evaluated joint venture opportunities in the Austin Chalk – recommended management not pursue
• Generated and executed drilling programs for Eagle Ford and Austin Chalk (1) wells

Tulsa, Oklahoma Area

• Developed drilling procedures and programs for horizontal wells in the Anadarko Basin
• Created a database that establishes and compares key performance indicators (KPI’s) for various directional companies to evaluate performance that can be used for optimal directional services selection
• Analyzed offset well data to determine better casing points, bit selections, and mud properties
• Examined real time drilling curves to identify potential dysfunction and proposed adjustments to the drilling parameters to enhance ROP and bit/tool longevity

Houston, Texas Area

• Investigated offshore drilling prospects by providing deterministic & probabilistic volumetric models and economic analysis to determine the probability of a successful project
