• Developed a well/geologic database for further research on the viability of carbon sequestration of San Joaquin Basin oil fields specifically seal/caprock integrity.
• Instructed lab students in 3D reservoir modeling and evaluation with Petrel software.

Bakersfield, California Area

• Updated geologic models from 2D to 3D and integrated new petrophysics into all shallow thermal diatomite reservoir models resulting in a new/higher confidence reservoir evaluation, reserves, and development plan.
• Evaluated associated Williams Sand and Etchegoin reservoirs for new development opportunities.
• Executed small scale yearly infill and replacement developments of ~12 wells to maintain production.
• Collaborated with asset team to develop low capital cost rework and recompletion options during low oil price market and government moratorium on high-pressure cyclic well permits.
• Worked with asset team to update recompletion strategies to minimize well-to-well communication and update reserves accordingly.
• Cooperated with engineers and regulators to mitigate existing surface events and undertook a well mechanical review of all diatomite wells to prevent future surface expressions, which led to a series of abandonments.

Bakersfield, California Area

• Undertook an effort to characterize/develop all reservoirs on NMWSS company properties previously overlooked (Tulare, Potter, Mya), which led to the design of a horizontal thermal pilot to redevelop an abandoned Potter.
• Worked with reservoir engineer to characterize and evaluate reservoirs on offset properties resulting in the acquisition of an adjacent property with Potter reservoir.

Bakersfield, California Area

• Continued development of the NMWSS thermal diatomite reservoir, which included approximately 200 new wells per year and 3 three drilling rigs.
• Updated Petrel geologic model as the asset was developed and modernized structural understanding of the thermal diatomite reservoir with well log correlation and FMI analysis.
• Assisted team in redesigning completion and production strategy in a low commodity price environment to maximize steam oil ratio to reduce operating costs.
• Trained and supervised multiple new geoscience technicians for the diatomite asset team.

Bakersfield, California Area

• Participated in the creation and management of a Petrel Studio database, and integrated multiple Petrel projects with the goal of creating a single company wide repository of geologic data.
• Aided development geologist in updating geologic models and OOIP/reserves for NMWSS thermal diatomite asset by redoing correlations and troubleshooting 3D modeling processes.
• Acted as onsite geologist by catching well logs, choosing sidewall sampling locations, ensuring openhole log quality.

Bakersfield, California Area

• Managed incoming geologic data storage and quality control as well as the upload of data from new wells into databases and geologic modeling software for use by geologists.
• Supported development geologists with development of cyclic wells in shallow heavy oil diatomite and sandstone reservoirs by creating well locations and well information sheets for use in well planning and drilling.
• Provided support for the construction and quality control of 2D and 3D geologic models by correlating well markers and generating geologic surfaces, maps, and cross-sections.

Bakersfield, California Area

• Assisted a team of geoscientists and engineers by answering data queries for well information and digital logs, digitizing pre-1977 production data, and creating a digital library for technical reports.
• Organized, repaired and reboxed core in Aera’s core warehouse to prevent degradation and allow greater accessibility.

Bakersfield, California, United States

• Assisted faculty members in the retrieval of soft sediment cores from dry lake beds in southern California for use in paleoclimate research with a trailer mounted coring rig.
• Participated in the preservation, sampling, and analysis of lake sediment cores which included: Magnetic Susceptibility, TIC/TOC, Ostracode Analysis, Core Description, and SEM Analysis.
• Supervised groups of high school students participating in the above research for the National Science Foundation Grant: Paleoclimate and Flooding in the Southern San Joaquin Valley, CA.
