Work History
Wellsite Supervisor
Franklin Mountain Energy
Jal, NM
11.2021 - 12.2023
- Night company hand drilling wells by Jal,NM in Delaware basin
- Stacked play, drilled 2-2.5 mile laterals in multiple pays of Wolfcamp and Bonespring formations
Drilling Superintendent
Continental Resources (CLR)
01.2012 - 01.2020
- Bakken -2 & 3 mile horizontal wells in Montana and North Dakota
- Spud-TD cycle rate improved from 30+ days to less than ten
- Promoted to a Superintendent role in 2013; managed 4 to 7 rigs
- Stack – 2016 transferred to drilling operations of the southern division
- Spent 3 years developing parent wells in the Stack play, 2-3 mile laterals 3 string horizontal wellbores
- Highly technical over-pressured wells with pressure gradients exceeding 0.83 psi/ft
- Narrow drilling window demanded finite control of ECD through fluid properties and/or MPD system
- Large bore vertical section also carried risks due to hole stability and cleaning issues; leading to pack-offs and fluid losses
- Legacy field reports often scarred with accounts of L.I.H
- Scoop – primarily focused on infill drilling of Woodford leases
- Wells also high risk installs due to highly faulted pay strata
- Required high performance teams with emphasis on geotechnical proficiency
Drilling Supervisor
EnCana Oil & Gas (ECA)
01.2008 - 01.2012
- Supervised drilling operations from well site construction through rig release
- (Horizontal, Directional, and Controlled Vertical wells)
- Majority of wellbores located in gas play Frenchie Draw by Lysite, WY
- Wells riddled with loss circulation and stability problems, further complicated by high volume gas influx and possibility of H2S
Completions Supervisor
EnCana Oil & Gas (SW Wyoming)
05.2007 - 01.2008
- Supervised all completions operations from hydraulic fracturing to sales
- Responsible for multiple work over rigs; installing artificial lift systems to various remedial service
