Rotation between field and office during first two years in a CO2 flood located in the panhandle of Oklahoma. The only field engineer when out in the field for 260 producers and 180 injectors, where 90 percent of the producers are flowing wells. Main task was to start and maintain a chemical program to stop wells from plugging with paraffin and asphaltenes. Developed monitoring systems and reports to make the chemical program efficient. Worked closely with chemical account managers, operators, and lab technicians to develop a chemical that would help keep the wells flowing. Also, scheduled work over rigs, evaluated wells for a "poor boy" gas lift, ran injection and production profiles, and helped institute some "poor boy" cleanouts with a cap string unit and a hot oiler. Field training of 4 months spent on a work over rig as a company man and then 2.5 months on a drilling rig as a company man. Currently full time office production engineer working the North Ward Estes CO2 flood in the Permian Basin helping write procedures for capital expansion work and optimizing operations and expense work over procedures.

Intern in reservoir and production engineering working primarily on the Bakken Oil Shale. Did parametric analysis on horizontal completion methods. Also worked on, rate transient analysis to determine transient or boundary dominated flow in order to find the drainage area of a horizontal Bakken well. Water study determining the flow back time of fracture fluid and best water disposal methods.
