  Specializing in reservoir analysis, open-hole log interpretation, and reservoir evaluation • Finished numerous projects on Eagleford, Wolfcamp, and Niobrara reservoirs • Provided investors accurate initial production (IP) for PUDs, significantly different from seller's IP estimate • Evaluated and informed investors the potential drainage risks in un-drilled locations, caused by offset producing wells Specializing in reservoir analysis, open-hole log interpretation, and reservoir evaluation • Finished numerous projects on Eagleford, Wolfcamp, and Niobrara reservoirs • Provided investors accurate initial production (IP) for PUDs, significantly different from seller's IP estimate • Evaluated and informed investors the potential drainage risks in un-drilled locations, caused by offset producing wells



Ultra Petroleum

• Oil and Gas
• 1 - 100 Employee

• Senior Advisor of Reservoir, Engineering, and Petrophysics

  • 2017 - Jan 2021

  Primary area of focus was the Pinedale Field. • Led the Lance Pool reservoir characterization efforts for the vertical well program; identified the key variables governing gas productivity and prioritized the vertical well inventory • Spearheaded the Lance Pool reservoir characterization initiatives for the horizontal program; utilized new generation NMR to find the fingerprint of super-productive zones (HZ target); and creatively interpretated open-hole logs in laterals to find the boundary of the gas charged sands •Developed a Dielectric-log-calibrated petrophysics saturation model Show less
