Work History
Field Engineer
Halliburton
Odessa, TX
01.2025 - Current
- Provide field engineering support for multi-stage hydraulic fracturing operations, coordinating equipment, chemical systems, personnel, and execution requirements across active wellsite operations.
- Troubleshoot complex equipment, pumping, and chemical-system issues in real time, providing technical guidance to crews and adapting execution based on well conditions and job requirements.
- Supported Management of Change (MOC) activities by evaluating proposed equipment, process, and chemical changes, coordinating implementation requirements, and documenting changes for field personnel.
- Troubleshoot complex equipment, pumping, and chemical-system issues in real time, provided technical guidance to crews, and adapted execution based on well conditions and job requirements.
- Coordinated with field crews, operators, and supporting personnel to execute engineering plans, resolve operational constraints, and maintain safe, efficient work processes during live treatment operations.
- Review and interpret P&IDs, equipment layouts, process flow information, and engineering documentation to support equipment configuration, system preparation, field modifications, and safe operational execution.
- Prepared and configured pre-job systems, verified equipment and process readiness, and completed post-job technical reporting to ensure documentation accuracy and data integrity across multiple job stages.
Production Engineer Intern
BP
Denver, CO
05.2024 - 08.2024
- Recommended compressor removal at 17 months versus the 18-month plan through production-performance analysis, contributing to approximately $500K in projected OPEX savings across future wells.
- Performed IPR/VLP matching in Prosper to evaluate production performance and inform artificial-lift decisions within a 500-psi pressure envelope.
- Developed 25 production models to evaluate well performance based on reservoir pressure, GOR, and water-cut sensitivities under varying operating conditions.
- Analyzed H2S and production data across Permian Basin wells to identify scaling trends and assess operational risks.
- Built a Power BI visualization integrating production and location data for 250 wells to support data-driven field development decisions.
Undergraduate Petroleum Research Intern
UT Austin
Austin, TX
05.2023 - 08.2023
- Conducted 110 experiments to evaluate wax adhesion and flow-assurance behavior, contributing to understanding of performance under varying operating conditions.
- Conducted 110 experiments evaluating wax adhesion and flow-assurance behavior under varying operating conditions.
- Analyzed the effects of temperature, rotation speed, and metallurgical roughness on wax deposition, identifying up to 45% reduction in adhesion on rougher surfaces.
- Compiled research findings into a technical paper and communicated experimental results, enhancing knowledge sharing within the team.
