Experience

1. Production & Reservoir Engineering Manager Data & Ai Strategy Lead

   Samuel Gary Jr. & Associates, Inc

   Oct 2022 — Present · KS, US

   I lead production and reservoir engineering initiatives for CO₂ EOR and waterflood assets, integrating advanced data systems and AI-driven solutions to strengthen reservoir management and operational decision-making. • Designed and managed CO₂ and waterflood injection patterns, set injectivity/BHP targets, and optimized WAG cycles — achieving up to 35–40% oil uplift in mature CO₂-affected areas within 6–12 months. • Conducted reservoir surveillance and pressure-transient analysis to monitor pattern conformance, voidage replacement, and reservoir health. • Applied nodal and VLP/IPR analysis to identify bottlenecks, lift inefficiencies, and recompletion opportunities across multiple producing zones. • Built and deployed AI-enabled data pipelines and Grafana dashboards integrating production, injection, and reservoir indicators — reducing manual reporting time by ≈80%. • Developed intelligent systems leveraging Agno, CrewAI, and LLM-integrated frameworks, combined with Next.js, Docker, Python, and Postgres databases, to automate reservoir diagnostics, production correlation, and performance forecasting. • Partner with geoscience, operations, and leadership teams to connect real-time field data with reservoir models, improving recovery efficiency and strategic decision quality.
