May 2023 - Aug 2023
• Evaluated vacuum natural gas collection system by comparing equipment capacity and efficiency with the system demand to recommend retiring or upgrading compressors and pipelines to increase system reliability. • Performed extensive field analysis by visiting on-site equipment and inspecting pipelines to gather data on source gas and tank, compressor, and pipeline configurations (including creating a comprehensive map of the vacuum system) to identify optimal locations for comingling different gas systems and/or re-routing gas flow. • Presented 2 detailed strategies for upgrading and re-configuring the gas system (including block/process flow diagrams generated in Bluebeam, equipment recommendations, and pipeline and valve adjustments) based on hydraulic calculations (performed in PIPESIM and Aspen HYSYS), compressor operating parameters, and source gas volume analysis to reduce long-term operation expenses by millions of dollars.

Reservoir Engineering Intern

May 2022 - Aug 2022
• Analyzed 10+ years of historical well production, pressure, and completion data in Spotfire to identify visual trends (well performance based on mapped geographical location) and statistical trends (production dependence on reservoir pressure and petrophysical properties). • Developed correlations based on multivariate regression analysis and evaluated their effectiveness in relating well production to a variety of parameters such as well completion strategy, pump type, petrophysical properties along the well bore, and reservoir pressure. • Interpreted oil assay geochemical data (GC chromatographs) to identify oil sources for zonal allocation and to provide further evidence for the production trends identified through the historical data analysis. • Recommended future field development and well completion strategies with millions of dollars in potential revenue based on long- and short-term investment analysis and the combined results from the historical and geochemical data analysis.
