Experience

1. Senior Reservoir Engineer

   bp

   Jan 2012 — Present

   Reservoir Engineer, Mad Dog Reservoir ManagementField development planning for Mad Dog Phase 2 project in deepwater Gulf of Mexico: • Update PVT model for reservoir simulation to better represent newly acquired fluid samples. • EOR development planning. • Manage Special Core Analysis (SCAL) program for evaluation of low salinity waterflood and polymerflood EOR. • Manage implementation of intelligent inflow well tracers technology (RESMAN) in Mad Dog. Reservoir Engineer, EOR Technology FlagshipAppraisal and development planning of enhanced oil recovery technologies at deepwater Gulf of Mexico: • Evaluated deployment of LoSal EOR at Thunder Horse oil field. • Used state-of-the-art reservoir modeling toolkit (Nexus/VIP/TDRM) to analyze and manage subsurface uncertainties using stochastic simulation. • Made recommendations to develop the resources and optimize the depletion plan. Reservoir Engineer, Wyoming Resource ProgressionMulti-disciplinary team for development of the giant Wamsutter tight gas field, one of the largest US unconventional natural gas basins: • Led front-end loading activities for an operating rig line in Wamsutter. Identified well targets, generated profiles, and evaluated economics. • Evaluated and deployed breakthrough technologies to recover resources more efficiently.
