Technical Expertise
Over 12+ years in gas reservoir engineering, organized around three areas of practice rather than a list of tools.
Understanding what's actually down there, and testing that understanding against how the reservoir behaves over time.
Building the static picture of a reservoir — structure, rock properties, fluid contacts — that every downstream decision depends on being right.
Dynamic models used to test development scenarios and quantify the uncertainty behind a forecast, not just produce one.
A direct, model-independent check on reserves and drive mechanism — often the fastest way to know if a more complex model's answer is even in the right range.
Reading a well's pressure response to diagnose permeability, skin, and boundaries — the difference between a well that's damaged and one that's simply in a poor part of the reservoir.
Bringing static and dynamic work together into a single, defensible view of a field, built to support an actual development decision rather than stand as separate deliverables.
Where reservoir assumptions meet operational reality, and where a candidate becomes a committed development decision.
Working the well from reservoir to surface — deliverability, constraints, operating strategy — where reservoir assumptions meet operational reality.
Rate and reserves forecasts built to support planning and budgeting decisions, with the uncertainty stated rather than hidden in a single number.
Nodal analysis and test interpretation to work out why a well underperforms, and whether that's fixable.
Reservoir engineering input into stimulation candidate selection and treatment design, and evaluating post-frac performance against what was actually promised.
Translating reservoir and production understanding into a development sequence — what gets drilled, stimulated, or deferred, and in what order.
Coordinating the reservoir view across disciplines, and standing behind the team's conclusions before they reach a decision-maker.
Holding the field-level view across wells and reservoirs — where the individual pieces of surveillance, simulation, and forecasting have to agree with each other.
Tracking production, pressure, and fluid trends closely enough to catch a well diverging from expectation before it becomes a bigger problem.
Leading a Reservoir & Production Engineering team — setting technical direction, reviewing the group's conclusions, and mentoring engineers through their own studies.
