  Performed comprehensive field study of legacy Gulf Coast acquisition to identify rate-increasing recompletion opportunities. Execution of these projects within Frio sands ultimately increased field rate by 250% and paid out roughly 5:1. -Analyzed/correlated 40+ open hole logs -Mapped 5+ sand structure, isopach, net pay -Produced multiple fault plane maps (without seismic data) -Five executed (to date) rate/value increasing well recompletion proejcts Performed comprehensive field study of legacy Gulf Coast acquisition to identify rate-increasing recompletion opportunities.
