Sep 2022 - Present
Primary engineer responsible for economic and operational analysis of potential well acquisitions. Also accountable for well operations, well repair, lift optimization, and economic oil production for ~700 active wells (~3000 BOE/day) across South Texas. Responsibilities include vendor contract negotiations and onboarding, AFE construction, procedure design and implementation, and well reserve estimation. • Performed lift optimization analysis on 150 wells in South Texas. Converted 20 wells from free flowing to plunger for a production uplift of ~100 BOE/day. • Coordinated flowline projects to adjust point of sales to account for the closing of a flowline. • Plugged back and recompleted uphole in three wellbores, results averaged to 30 BOE/day/well uplift in production. • Interfaced with TRRC, working interest owners, and royalty owners as a representative of Fletcher Petroleum. • Negotiated and optimized compressors and compressor contracts in natural gas fields. Reported an average savings of $500/month/compressor. Show less

Permian Basin Drilling Engineer
-
Sep 2013 - Jul 2015
Worked as a Permian basin drilling engineer. Analyzed well performance for optimization and AFE estimating. Worked closely with regulatory and land to follow all TRRC guidelines and build locations. Drilled record wells in under 5 days to 5500' with two strings of casing. Drilled horizontal well under AFE and 100% in zone. Brought in new vendors to up competition and save money. Utilized new technology to acquire logs in wells where open hole logs were nearly impossible. Presented accomplishments and cost saving ideas to upper management. worked closely with RMT group to optimize well depth and placement. Utilized engineering applications from the Landmark Suite.
