• Offshore
• Built Base Schematic Designs and test plans of BOPs, Wellbores, XMAS Tree’s, and Manifolds in SureTec during various operations including drilling, completions, interventions, and P&A.
• Planned, coordinated, and conducted digital pressure tests on BOPs, XMAS Tree’s, choke manifolds, packers, plugs, flow injection heads, and CT Reel’s both subsea and at surface using SureTec software.
• Conducted inflow tests, formation integrity tests, and negative pressure tests during drilling and completions operations.
• Streamlined test plans to minimize test time while following client procedures and complying with API STD 53 and 30 CFR Part 250.
• Managed testing equipment

• Efficiently managed approximately 15-25 projects simultaneously involving the evaluation, design, and estimation of natural gas distribution facilities.
• Produce safe/efficient high-quality engineering designs using AutoCAD, Synergi Gas, and GIS software while meeting important design metrics including install to abandonment ratio, cost per foot, utility spacing, future.
• Prepared bill of materials on all projects and completed more than 50 project budget estimates.
• Successfully prepared budget estimates to within +/- 10% of actual costs on approximately 70% of my projects and actively monitored spend during the construction phase.
• Completed project designs and documentation according to all company and/or government policies (i.e PHMSA CFR Part 192 Code of Federal Regulations).
• Acting liaison to state, county, and local governments for matters involving COH facilities.

• Updated and compiled back pressure curves for over 750 wells which were used for gas storage field models.
• Created models of 20 gas storage fields using Synergi gas software and proved the accuracy of every model with percent error as low as 0.2 %. I used the models to complete two side projects involving deliverability.
• Conducted analysis on the models which resulted in new findings of pipeline bottlenecking and back flow cases occurring in the storage fields.
• I performed relevant calculations to support field operations such as volume to kill and sacks of cement needed.
• Shadowed storage engineers and crews during field operations (e.g cementing, well logging, setting plugs, killing a well, and configuring wellhead equipment).
• I learned about gas control optimization and remote SCADA operations during a visit to the gas control center.
