• Perform inspections within Federal guidelines in areas without power, homes without walls, loose animals, debris in the roads, and aiding people of different languages through real life hardships
• Scheduling: Calling and scheduling up to 16 inspections a day for 10 days out
• Driving: Navigating in areas after a declared National Disaster with road debris and hazardous conditions

• Point of contact between the rig and office
• Maintaining and improving a zero incidence safety culture
• Process development and improvement
• Mentoring and training of peers
• Generating Daily and Final Well Reports
• LWD tool programming, delivery, set-up, retrieval, data downloading, and troubleshooting

The Woodlands

• Lead Geoscientist exploration, appraisal, and developmental opportunities
• Tasks involved: qualitative seismic interpreting (full/partial stacks/gathers), well ties, horizon interpretation, attribute maps, analyzing & loading well data Linux and PC, file organization, picking well tops.
• Drilled 2 exploration wells in Willow Prospect, sanctioned Lookout ($1,000,000,000 development project)
• Managed development drilling, including the highly successful CD-5 Project (latest satellite to Alpine field)
• Contributed to seismic acquisition planning and in-house processing (performed by ConocoPhillips)
• Utilized Class II AVO and Inversions (Vp/Vs, Extended Elastic Impedance, and Lamda Rho)

The Woodlands

• Evaluated and presented many in-fill opportunities through AVO models, amplitude analysis, refined fault and structural maps, identified geohazards, incorporated production data, teamwork, collaborated with drilling.
• Produced/interpreted Spectral Decomposition attributes providing primary reason for an uneconomic well; prompting partner’s management for SpecD on that well and future wells while incurring costs.
• Drilled one development well
• Maintained production and field by sleeve shifts, commingled zones, up-hole recompletes, P&A’s, zone changes
• Trained and mentored coworkers on Decision Space, SeisWorks, GeoProbe, Petra, Petrosys, and Presenting
• Spectral decomposition results identified compartmentalized reservoirs, de-risked exploration prospects, and provided a probable solution for oil on water updip of known oil

The Woodlands

• Fields include: Permian (Delaware Basin), Marcellus Shale, Midland Basin (Ozona Arch), South Texas Concurrently worked several areas generating additional value while gaining exponential knowledge growth
• Played a valuable role in the growth of Delaware Basin’s exploration and development of Avalon, Bone Spring, and Wolfcamp while mentoring new team members
• Created Delaware Basin Fault Map which linked to the best producing wells in Bone Spring, wells produced up to 10 times better than offset wells.
• Ramped up Delaware basin from 1 rig to over 6, identified geohazards, drilled over 100 wells, and hosted data room for farm-in preserving acreage
• Interpreted 2D/3D seismic in time/depth domain, created velocity models, converted time to depth
• Acquired, processed, and interpreted miscroseismic data resulting in fracture height analysis

The Woodlands

• Provided precise G&G interpretation for Marco Polo which increased production by 579,000 barrels/1,000,000,000 cubic feet of gas. Prior to my arrival most recent well drilled into a fault; awarded bonus for improving.
• Interpreted sub-salt Shenzi play and maintained database with operated, non-operated, and scout data
• Improved fault mapping and structural interpretation of K2, Marco Polo, and Shenzi fields
• Worked with partners to evaluate risk on new development wells and to optimize field development

The Woodlnads

• Selected to be spectral decomposition specialist
• Spectral decomposition low frequency shadow work presented at SEG conferences. This work has been incorporated to the curriculum of colleges and industry training courses.
• Located missed pay deeper in well due to incorrect velocity model which corrected the interpretation.
• Analyzed 20+ fields; ran special in-house amplitude over background and low frequency shadow analyzing techniques. Collaborated across numerous departments, learned specialized DHI techniques, created/documenting.
• Increased Pg of numerous prospects; identified false hydrocarbon indicators for others

The Woodlands

• Job duties; loaded, exported, managed, manipulated data, assisted in completion of projects, updated and created regulatory documents, generated maps
• 3 assets sales: $901 MM (Bigfoot and Knotty Head), $1.33B (Genghis Khan), and $1.312B (GOM Shelf)
• Identified as expert in SDI Montage, Petrosys, and volumetrics: lead to mentoring and training of colleagues
• Urgently advanced to software proficiency, created/updated well cross-sections (Bigfoot/Knotty Head), seismically interpreted water-bottom generated regional GOM map, improved/generated net pay maps, gridded.
• Identified software volume calculation error and provided a solution

Houston, Texas Area

• Internship working on the Exploration Team in the Uinta Basin.
• Interpreted 2D seismic lines by hand for reservoir structure and faults.
• Generated hand drawn structure maps which incorporated complex faulting.
• Beyond the scope of the internship, I learned SeisWorks, which was used to produce similar computer generated maps.
• In the Final PowerPoint Presentation, the two methods where compared and contrasted.
• Big part of the experience was learning about oil and gas in general. Additional learning experiences came from a rig tour and a 3D seismic shoot in the Louisiana marsh.

Houston, Texas Area

• Utilized AutoCAD to create 2D and 3D shop, field, and assembly drawings for the purpose of manufacturing and erecting aluminum roofs for storage tanks to prevent evaporation and fluids from leaking into the air.
• Implemented a better electronic filing system that improved work performance and reduced time.
