Utilize the SV Office Package for remote MPE (Managed Pressure Engineering) advising and the SV Rig Package for MPE and drilling optimization. Function as a company representative at industry events and committee meetings. Earned recognition for the design and deployment of the world’s first MPD (Managed Pressure Drilling) system that was successfully ran by a rig crew without third party involvement. Served as a member of the design team for the largest, most sophisticated MPD systems ever built. Developed the company’s pressure management philosophy for MPD; the MPE drilling philosophy; and the compact electric choke manifold used in APOD systems in Alaska. Functioned as a Project Manager and Engineer for the installation and commissioning of the Rig Package with the full MPD module for multiple drilling vessels. Served as a subject matter expert by training rig crews to run APOD MPD systems without additional personnel on board; produced training materials, user manuals, and data books. Show less
