• Collaborated with BP on an industry-based project as required by the Robert Gordon University Master’s curriculum.• Partnered and communicated with a wide range of BP technical teams, including Wells, Drilling, Well Intervention, and Production.• Focused on reducing carbon intensity for artificial lift systems in alignment with the project scope, as well as comparing carbon intensity for gas lift and electric submersible pump artificial lift systems in the North Sea. • Artificial lift modelled using the PETEX software suite. Prosper, MBAL and GAP used in conjunction to conduct production predictions for carbon intensity estimations.• Life Cycle Analysis software (GaBi) used to conduct LCA investigation in accordance with ISO 14040 procedure.

WestSide Corporation purchased the RKM asset in 2016, located in South Taranaki, New Zealand. This asset consists of several heavy oil and gas condensate wells, as well as the Rimu Production Station, a small to medium gas processing facility. As the sole onsite Production Engineer, I primarily coordinate the internal Management of Change system. This requires me to manage multiple smaller projects at any given time, while also providing technical support to various project teams and disciplines within the business.My role to summarise:• Working with operations onsite to gain valuable field/practical experience.• Management of multiple small to medium sized projects (<$200,000 in value). o Preparation of Project FEED documentation including scope of work, design drawings, basis of design, technical engineering documentation etc. o Review and actioning of TQs, NCRs and project ITPs. o Risk Assessment and HAZOP Facilitation. o Oversee pipework fabrication and site installation. o Complete punch listing and project closeout.• Collaboration with WestSide projects team on execution of larger projects (>$5,000,000 in value).• Author and/or oversee programs for various completion/well intervention operations. o Oversee multiple perforation/tubing punch operations. o Author programs for bullhead/well acid wash operations. o Author programs for pulling PCP rod string and insert pump replacement.• Worked with a number of different software applications including Blubeam REVU, RedEye and Peloton Wellview.

Employed as a Graduate Engineer for Greymouth Petroleum, I was given the opportunity to work in a number of different roles across the business. In total I completed 3 placements over 2 years, these placements included Facilities Engineering, Reservoir Engineering and Drilling/Completions Engineering. A summary of my roles are as follows.Most recent placement was with Drilling and Completions team. Here I was placed on an active triple rig and took part in various drilling activities, running of casing, cementing and completions operations. I was also required to ensure integrity of all wells owned by Greymouth Petroleum, and worked with the drilling team by assisting with the well design process.• Worked on an active drilling rig, in several different roles.o Filled in as a Roughneck during tripping in/out of hole.o Assisted Derrickman with drilling mud tests and added chemicals as per instructions from Mud Doctor.o Filled in as sample catcher as required, and assisted Mud Logger where possible.o Carried out cementing calculations and cross checked for cementing jobs. • Monitoring and evaluation of well integrity for all Greymouth wells.o Identification of testing regime required.o Became familiar with Well Integrity Legislation and Well Double Barrier industry standards.o Hydro pressure test wellhead valves and replaced valves as required. o Submit documentation to well examiner for certification.• Assisted drilling team with new well and casing program design, this included torque and drag modelling.
