and well plans for drilling and completion projects on wells ranging
in depth from 3000’ to 14,000’ in both normal and over
pressured regions. Solicit and evaluate bids and select vendors
for drilling and completion operations.
Provide well
site supervision for completion and workover operations including
cased hole logging, perforation, fracture stimulation, coil tubing
operations, squeeze cementing among others. Also provide well site
supervision for open hole logging, running casing and cementing
operations on normal pressured wells.
Reservoir engineering
and property evaluations including open hole log interpretation,
pressure transient analysis, reserve estimates and economic analysis.
Production optimization
and workover recommendations.
Provide cost
estimates, workover and recompletion recommendations and implementation
including perforation programs, fracture stimulation designs, tubing
and packer configurations, slick line operations, artificial lift
programs and compression and gathering system designs.

– June 2003
Newfield Exploration Company
Exploitation Manager - San Antonio, Texas
Prepare acquisition
package for buy out of an operated WI in major field with a recommended
purchase price of over $100 million and presented to the Executive
Management Team. An offer was made based on the recommendation.

of EEX engineering data and files to Newfield’s Houston office
and engineering personnel.
January 2000
– October 2002
EEX Corporation
Exploitation Manager, San Antonio, Texas
Provided reservoir
engineering support for exploration team, drilling over 150 wells
in two years.
Assisted Operations
engineers with completions using NODAL analysis to evaluate well
performance and tubing and casing sizing.
Assisted in
preparing corporate year-end and mid year reserve reports. Netherlands
and Sewell reserve auditors performed a full audit on and approved
each report.
Prepared extensive
field study of mature Fashing Field resulting in drilling of 5 development
wells that averaged 1.3 mmcf/day and 1.2 BCF reserves, plus adding
an additional 8 PUD locations.
Researched,
selected and implemented a production monitoring system database
(ProdEval by TCW) that captured data at the field level for all
properties EEX owned an interest in.
Helped to develop
reports that could monitor daily gross or net production or sales
volumes of gas, oil and gas equivalent volumes as well as report
rate differentials from week to week by well, field, county or company
summary levels. This system was used to project sales for accounting
accruals and was accurate to +/- 2%.
Led divestiture
group in preparation, organization and maintenance of data room
material for EEX E&P, Inc. divestiture. Made presentations to
acquisition groups and corporate executives in divestiture process.
May 1998 –
January 2000
Tesoro E&P Company, LP
Exploitation Manager - San Antonio, Texas
Optimized drilling
and completion costs in East Texas Cotton Valley program. Reduced
costs by 30%.
Implemented
artificial lift program for Cotton Valley wells using ¼”
stainless steel coil tubing to siphon soap down hole. Three of four
wells in program showed significant improvement.
Implemented
plunger optimization program in 23 Wheeler County Granite Wash wells.
Results were a reduction in field decline and improved liquid unloading.
Assisted acquisition
group in evaluations of properties. Provided reservoir engineering
and production operations evaluations on oil and gas properties
in Peru, British Columbia Canada, Offshore California, Cook Inlet,
Alaska, West Texas, East Texas, Southern Louisiana among others.
Assist Operations
Manager designing and implementing fracture simulations in various
fields.
Monitor daily
production volumes, averages and trends on 300+ Tesoro interest
wells and recommend workover and recompletion operations. Prepare
reports for Senior Management for planning and revenue forecasting
purposes.
Led negotiations
for divestiture of marginal, non-operated well package. Successfully
negotiated a $90,000 (18%) increase over eventual buyer’s
original bid.

2400 barrels of fluid/day, increasing the oil production from 30
barrels/day to over 200 barrels/day.
Modified a salt
water disposal facility to handle up to 3000 barrels of water/day
and installed a liquid level monitoring and safety shut down system.
July 1997 –
December 1997
