Sr. Production Engineer Resume

SUMMARY:

Sr. Production Engineer with experience in the oil industry with working knowledge in conventional and unconventional oil plays.
Knowledgeable with artificial lift system designs, troubleshooting and failure analysis (gas lift, rod pump, PCP, ESP and jet pump).
Experienced with production operation, acid stimulation, recompletion and workovers operations in vertical and horizontal wells. Self - motivated, detailed-oriented team player and prepared to work with multidisciplinary team.

Sr. Production Engineer

Responsibilities:

Provided the development and implementation of artificial lift solutions for the Wolfcamp Asset Team. Evaluated and implemented gas lift on existing and new wells. This execution allowed the Asset to enhanced well performance and benefit to the company. In 2012 the Asset was having poor results but the gas lift installation made the Wolfcamp a viable development Asset.
Provided production-engineering support during the development of Wolfcamp formation on logistic, design and operation of artificial lift thru field development. Evaluated and coordinated pumping unit installations and rod pump designs to standardize pumping units and bottomhole assembly based on depth, completion and rate to coordinate the transition from gas lift to rod pump.
Evaluated and implemented the use of continuous rods, workover procedures and operational parameter changes on more than 100 wells to help minimize rod string and tubing failures on deviated wellbores.
Evaluated and implemented the installation of electric submersible and jet pumps where the use of gas lift was not feasible. Jet pump was the selected lift for the low formation gas area in the Wolfcamp because of the initial well performance, minimum downtime, low workover cost and maximum runtime.
Provided production-engineering support to install and optimize artificial lift systems including rod pump, Electric submersible pumps (ESP), Jet Pump and gas lift as well as acid stimulation practices in horizontal wells between 5,000 ft to 6,000 ft of lateral length. Guided new Engineers to execute oil and gas well production analysis to improve well performance using industry standard applications.
Assigned to the Oil of the Future Pilot Project for the Altamont Asset Team and delivered operational process to improve well diagnostics, surveillance and troubleshooting on rod pump and electric submersible pumps.
Assigned to the One Virtual Source Project (OVS Group) to provide the development of a workflow to integrate all the surveillance and optimization tools used to enhance production surveillance, optimization and field operations from one source. The surveillance tool was implemented on all Assets of the company to support the Reservoir and Production Teams.

Operations Engineer

Responsibilities:

Assigned to Occidental of Elk Hills in California to generate and execute capital and expense workover AFE’s to approximately fifty wells per year for their oil Shale and Sands plays at their Elk Hills Business Unit to enhance asset value.
Provided operations engineering support to the optimization of artificial lift systems including rod pump, gas lift and ESP as well as acid stimulation practices in vertical and horizontal wells between 6,000 ft and 8,000 ft.
Prepared recompletion procedures and cost estimates for wells in Rocky Mountains, California, and Texas Clients.
Executed many oil and gas well production analysis to determine well performance and liquid loading for the Haynesville and Bakken Formations.

Production Engineer Leader

Responsibilities:

Led the Production Optimization Group responsible for all operation activities of approximately three hundred wells, with depth 3,500 ft to 4,500 ft completed with Artificial lift methods such as rod pump and ESP.
Part of the “Integral Methodology for Productivity” program presented a portfolio of opportunities to improve the productivity of a heavy oil field in the Orinoco Oil Belt.
Coordinated the “Costs based on activity” pilot project, designed to identify opportunities of cost optimization in field operation.
Evaluated approximately one hundred oil wells to select candidates to optimize production.
Implemented the evaluation of approximately 120 wells under gas lifts to convert to electric submersible pumps where a production increment of 38,000 bpd was obtained.
Member of the ESP Project of PDVSA’s Western Division (offshore) to evaluate the implementation of ESP in all Business Units.
Worked as operations supervisor to provide well surveillance to gas lift wells 12,000 ft deep at Central Lake light oilfield in Lake Maracaibo in about 1,000 ft of water.
Worked as Contract Administrator at the Maintenance and Construction, and Central Shops departments in Lagoven’s (PDVSA) Western Division.
Employed as mechanical engineer at Lagoven’s Western Division to provide preventive maintenance (offshore) on the operational boats working in Maracaibo Lake.
