Bio
Julian Ortiz
I worked alongside Chris for close to two years. In those two years, I saw him not only excel at the core elements of his job as Development Engineer such as assessing the economic impact of various development and operational strategies, and working with different disciplines in the company’s budgeting process, but also learned other skills such as understanding SAGD reservoir exploitation, and practical viability of emerging technologies to increase asset value and reduce GHG emissions. Chris’s abilities to adapt to ever changing environments, problem solving and critical observation are top notch. I highly recommend Chris if you need to get the job done!
Michael Nikitenko
It has been an honour working with Chris, someone who truly inspires confidence as a leader. Chris goes above and beyond to help others, and is passionate about his work. He actively engages conversations between stakeholders to drive positive discussion needed to advance business goals. The breadth of his knowledge across a multitude of disciplines and the energy industry as a whole is tremendous, and he is always willing to share those experiences. Chris personally motivated me in my role and I have learned a tremendous amount from him.
