Extensive experience in managing surveillance and troubleshooting large gas wells.


Surveillance and monitoring

1. Annuli pressures :- A,B & C annuli limits and monitoring. Tubing to casing communication. Annuli bleed off.

2. Sand management:- setting limits & alerts for SCADA. Developing conditioning strategies to reduce sand in wells with a history of sand. Determining acoustic anomalies not related to sand production.

3. Pressure and Temperature monitoring. Daily checks performed as a health check on wells. - THP,THT, BHP, BHT & flowline pressure and temperature monitoring. To determine water production increase and load up of low pressure wells.

4. Erosion & Corrosion trends :- Bi weeekly checks of coupons and inserts. Changes in fluids profile or confirmation of solids being produced to surface.

5. Deliquification :- Devised recovery and treatment plan for liquid loaded wells including the best period to leave wells shut in before restart. Determining the ideal start up choke changes to restart liquid loaded wells. Implementing water shut off (setting plugs) in selected wells.


Systems optimization

  • Lead BPTT largest Gap implementation. Strong analysis skills in Prosper and GAP.

Metering and Allocation

  • Lead BPTT allocation transfer to Energy Components, as part of this implemented a daily allocation process to streamline workflows by automating tasks, increasing team productivity and reducing errors.
