Wapic Petroleum Inc., Minneapolis, MN 2000 - 2002
Petroleum Engineer
Analyzed data to recommend placement of wells and supplementary processes to enhance production.
Assessed costs and estimate the production capabilities and economic value of oil and gas wells, to evaluate the economic viability of potential drilling sites.
Assigned work to staff to obtain maximum utilization of personnel.
Assisted engineering and other personnel to solve operating problems.
Conducted engineering research experiments to improve or modify mining and oil machinery and operations.
Conferred with scientific, engineering, and technical personnel to resolve design, research, and testing problems.
Designed or modified mining and oil field machinery and tools, applying engineering principles.
Developed plans for oil and gas field drilling, and for product recovery and treatment.
Evaluated findings to develop, design, and test equipment or processes.
Inspected oil and gas wells to determine that installations are completed.
Interpreted drilling and testing information for personnel.
Maintained records of drilling and production operations.
Monitored production rates, and planned rework processes to improve production.
Simulated reservoir performance for different recovery techniques, using computer models.
Specified and supervised well modification and stimulation programs to maximize oil and gas recovery.
Supervised the removal of drilling equipment, the removal of any waste, and the safe return of land to structural stability when wells or pockets were exhausted.
Took samples to assess the amount and quality of oil, the depth at which resources lie, and the equipment needed to properly extract them.
Wapic Petroleum Inc., Minneapolis, MN 1997 - 2000
Petroleum Engineer Intern (under supervision)
Liaised with geoscientists, production and reservoir engineers, and commercial managers in interpreting well-logging results and predicting production potential.
Compiled detailed development plans of reservoir performance using mathematical models to ensure maximum economic recovery.
Selected optimal tubing size and the variety of suitable equipment within the well for different functions.
Designed the completion - the part of the well that communicates with the reservoir rock and fluids.
Designed systems that helped the well to flow, for example using submersible pumps.
Managed problems of fluid behavior and production chemistry; evaluated and recommended flow rate enhancement by using, for example, hydraulic fracturing (to force fluid into a well and fracture the rock) and acid treatment (to erode the rock and improve flow path).
Managed and controlled wells with branches at the bottom (horizontal and multilateral wells).
Used well and reservoir surveillance data to manage the value of the reservoir and decide on appropriate engineering interventions.
