Registered Professional Engineer in the State of TexasMember, Society of Petroleum Engineers American Institute of Chemical EngineersMember, Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor SocietyMember, Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society
Reservoir Simulation: Conducted numerous reservoir simulation studies of oil and gas fields worldwide. Experience with all phases of simulation studies including initial design, model construction, history matching, calibration, and final documentation. Examples include construction of primary recovery models for field evaluation and development, and gas field and gas storage models for deliverability estimation.
Reservoir Engineering: Experience in application of traditional engineering techniques such as decline curve analysis, volumetric analysis, PVT and rock properties analysis, nodal analysis, and material balance analysis.
Reserves and Economic Evaluations: Experience in reserves estimation in accordance with SEC and SPE reserves estimation guidelines.
