Principal Chemist • Led polymer synthesis project for water based drilling fluids. Synthesized high temperature tolerant polymer for water-based drilling fluids and brine-based drill-in fluids. Innovative new polymer functions as viscosifier and fluid loss control agent and thermally stable at 400°F for 72 hours. • Developed clay free high temperature high pressure water-based drilling fluids. Unlike traditional water-based drilling fluids, new drilling fluids have very consistent PV and YP throughout circulation. • Developed high temperature brine-based reservoir drilling fluids and completion fluids based on newly synthesized polymer. Very broad density range achieved using different brines. • Developed low ECD oil-based drilling fluid with 325 mesh barite, much lower cost versus low ECD fluids with micronized barite. Awards: • Halliburton Most Value Added Personnel 2014 for developing the high temperature water based drilling fluid • Halliburton Innovation Award 2014 for inventing the high temperature tolerant polymer

Synthetic wine corks, sounds like simple, but it's not. To develop a low cost, functional synthetic wine cork is my current job. Foam extrusion, co-extrusion, TPE processing, polymer characterization including rheology and dynamic mechanical analysis are my expertise. Synthetic wine corks, sounds like simple, but it's not.
