• Developed and implemented procedures to optimize subsea BOP testing procedures saving approximately $250,000 per BOP test. • Developed and implemented criteria to inspect VGX-2 gaskets for the viability of re-use on the surface saving $10,000 per BOP deployment. • Executed and managed all maintenance and upgrades on multiplex Blow Out Prevention Equipment (BOPE) on 5th and 6th Generation deep-water drillships on Cameron, GE, and NOV BOP stacks. • Tracked and evaluated BOPE KPIs to improve operations and enhance BOP performance. • Reviewed and ensured the accuracy of all drawings and procedures submitted with the drilling permit to the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE). • Designed and implemented detailed rig specific procedures for surface and subsea verification of Deadman, Autoshear, and EDS systems. • Ensured all BOPE maintenance and testing was conducted per requirements outlined by Chevron, the drilling contractor, BSEE/CFR 250, and API RP 53. • Optimized land batch drilling operations and associated rig move times, saving the company approximately $215,000 per six well pad. • Developed a ‘connection protocol’ for drillers to use while making connections, saving approximately $2,000 per well. • Managed day to day operations on multiple drilling rigs maintaining focus on delivering wells safely and on time. • Actively participated in the design of drilling programs for exploratory drilling campaigns in West Texas. • Oversaw and instructed contractors ensuring compliance with HES policies and SOPs / RPs during all stages of well construction. • Compared original AFE to actual costs and implemented cost reduction strategies. • Submitted daily WellView reports to the Drilling Superintendent in a timely manner ensuring accuracy and completeness.

• Designed plug and perf hydraulic fracturing treatments for tight gas wells in the Marcellus and Uintah Basins. • Implemented a new suite of coiled tubing chemicals saving $15,000 per clean-out. • Worked with Completions Foreman and Completions Superintendent coordinate and manage TCP, coiled tubing, plug and perf, and snubbing operations in the Marcellus Shale. • Executed plug and perf hydraulic fracturing jobs in the Uintah and Appalachian Basins and performed post-job evaluations on each stage completed to identify areas of improvement.

•Built and ran perforating guns used in horizontal shale gas well completions. •Ran a suite of open hole logging tools including triple/quad combos and seismic evaluation tools. •Coordinated crew schedules and crew call-outs for open hole logging jobs.
