Consultant
01.2024 - 06.2024 |ConocoPhillips & Endeavor Energy Resources
AutoCAD, Microsoft Teams
● Identified challenges related to gas conditioning and stranded gas takeaway focusing on surveying producers operating in the Delaware side of the Permian Basin.
● Involved assessing the impact of emissions regulations and infrastructure limitations that contribute to these operational issues.
Staff Production Engineer
08.2020 - 01.2023 |Eastland Oil Company
LOE, SWD
● Slashed costs and improved workflow efficiencies by 40% through managing contractors and directing field operations personnel in the execution of artificial lift well work making technical and financial decisions.
● Drove continuous improvement efforts by leveraging vendor management in turn enhancing LOE efficiencies through in depth cost and operational spend analysis.
● Ensured quality and efficiency in execution during workovers, and SWD treatments through proper supervision of service company field representatives during workovers and SWD downhole chemical and pressure treatments.
● Boosted production from declining wells by evaluating and implementing innovative downhole and surface
technologies.
Senior Production Engineer
2018 - 2020 |Apache Corporation
Rod, ESP, PLA
● Served as Asset Manager overseeing capital project performance, leading multiple lookbacks to monitor capital
spending efficiency and ensure optimal resource allocation.
● Successfully restored active production by spearheading a complex $1.2MM cleanout operation in the Midland Basin from Day 1, to resolve production impairment caused by PLA diverter through a nitrogen and chemical treatment, root cause analysis, and downhole tool recovery.
● Executed strategic waterflooding optimization projects in the Midland Basin to boost revenue and reduce operating costs, including regulatory compliance, well repairs, maintenance, and plug-and-abandon operations.
● Increased production 2x-3x by designing and directing five Rod Lift to ESP conversions at average AFE of $350,000 per well.
● Generated black oil production increases from 1-2 bopd, to 10 bopd from evaluating and identifying low producing wells for behind-pipe recompletion / re-frac potential thus prolonging asset life.
Production / Completion Engineer
2014 - 2017 |WPX Energy
NGL, WPX, Scada
● Ensured regulatory compliance and operational safety by coordinating the successful retrofit of over 150 wells with flares and combustors through design and review of flare and relief valve sizing as well as oversee proper installation.
● Provided daily production monitoring, gas lift optimization, and operational troubleshooting support as Asset Manager for up to three workover rigs and a combination of 400 vertical and horizontal wells.
● Improved well completion efficiency and increased production volumes by designing and implementing Plug & Perf isolation methods for hydraulic fracturing of new wells across Delaware Basin company acreage.
● Supervised the construction and implementation of gas compression stations and SCADA automation in the Delaware Basin as part of midstream asset management, ensuring efficient infrastructure deployment.
● Optimized NGL recovery and cut high-cost rental equipment ($25,000/month) by designing, planning, and executing construction of a wet and dry gas line system to support a two-rig drilling program.
● Enhanced team awareness and troubleshooting capabilities by developing P&IDS and PFDs using MS Visio for
production facilities.
