WORK EXPERIENCE:
Confidential
Research Assistant/GIS Analyst
Responsibilities:
- Planned a conceptual engineering design for a commercialized Confidential ( Confidential )
- Created a nodal analysis model in Microsoft Excel to model Confidential storage caverns and the Confidential system including pipelines, pumps, and sales points
- Modelled and calculated pressure drop across pipeline lengths, pressure loss due to friction in wells, and pressure gains when a fluid is pressurized by a pump
- Designed and determined the location for a new brine pond and two - million- Confidential tank farm
- Designed new conceptual oil/water headers and manifolds at the Confidential sites
- Estimated costs for a commercialized Confidential system, including determining necessary equipment, estimating item costs, escalating costs, and determining additional fees for front-end engineering design, construction management, and contingency
- Examined the impact of a fault and shear zone near a Confidential site in Texas
- Designed a new hypothetical “brine drive” mechanism for the Confidential system using brine caverns
- Conducted storm surge modelling to determine necessary berm and dike design requirements for a brine pond and crude oil storage tanks
- Performed a literature search and review of over 150 articles for a research and development project on waterless hydraulic fracturing, including research on the topics of drilling with air, open hole completion, fracing with gas, and using diagnostic tools for hydraulic fracturing operations
- Organized a database to store the numerous articles for the waterless hydraulic fracturing research project
- Created many maps using GIS programs such as ArcMap, ArcGIS Pro, and Excel 3D Mapping to perform spatial analysis and make clean, understandable maps for presentations and clients. These maps were primarily working with oil and gas infrastructure
- Performed monthly GIS data updates using ArcGIS Pro and Microsoft Excel, in which the files were updated and sent to the U.S. Office of Petroleum Reserves (OPR) to support planning and decisions
- Created daily company wide updates, detailing relevant oil and gas news and events
- Performed regular and time-sensitive safety/vulnerability assessments of oil and gas infrastructure during active tropical storms, hurricanes, wildfires, and earthquakes. This included identifying infrastructure at risk, estimating production and transportation losses, and estimating days of stocks remaining for a region. These reports were used by the OPR to support planning and emergency response decisions
- Reformatted the safety/vulnerability assessments to be more concise, informative, and visually pleasing
- Managed a small team which created a user interface in ArcGIS Pro, which could receive input for parameters, exporting these to an Excel-based model, and displaying the model results back in the GIS
- Maintained an organized database of GIS data, imagery, and general files
- Managed a small team during a focused project to reorganize company GIS data, while also creating a new data dictionary to denote location of files, and their attributes
- Attended client meetings to build relationships with the clients, giving presentations/briefings, and to work with clients on their questions or concerns for a given project
- Wrote technical reports as needed, including the majority of a 400-page report on the potential for commercialization of a Confidential site
- Created technical internal and client-oriented presentations for projects, and presented them as needed
- Created graphs, tables, and numerous figures for various reports and presentations using QCAD, GIS, Excel, and PowerPoint
