Petroleum Engineer at Chevron

Summary

Experience

Petroleum EngineerChevron
Houston, TXJun 2021Present
  • Led reservoir simulation studies using Petrel and Eclipse, increasing recoverable reserves by 15% across three major fields, representing over $50M in value.
  • Optimized well placement and completion strategies for unconventional plays, reducing drilling time by 10% and improving initial production rates by 20%.
Drilling EngineerExxonMobil
Midland, TXJun 2019May 2021
  • Managed daily drilling operations for 8-10 wells in the Permian Basin, achieving a 95% operational efficiency rate and reducing non-productive time by 12%.
  • Designed and executed casing and cementing programs, resulting in a 5% reduction in material costs and ensuring wellbore integrity across 40+ wells.

Projects

Permian Basin Infill Drilling Optimization
Mar 2022Jan 2023
  • Developed a geostatistical model to identify optimal infill well locations in a mature Permian Basin asset, projected to increase ultimate recovery by 8% (2 million BOE).
Deepwater Gulf of Mexico Flow Assurance Study
Aug 2021Feb 2022
  • Modeled complex multiphase flow scenarios for a deepwater field, identifying potential hydrate and wax formation risks in subsea flowlines.
Enhanced Oil Recovery Pilot Project Design
Apr 2023Present
  • Designed a CO2-EOR pilot project for a mature carbonate reservoir, projecting an incremental recovery of 10-12% of original oil in place (OOIP).
  • Performed compositional reservoir simulations to optimize CO2 injection rates and patterns, minimizing breakthrough and maximizing sweep efficiency.
  • Developed comprehensive surveillance and monitoring plans to track pilot performance and inform full-field deployment decisions.
