Seven-plus years on active drilling rigs across the Delaware and Midland Basins — running the mud logging unit, calling formation tops, evaluating shows, and watching the well for kicks and losses. Then three years building the reporting and automation the same data feeds. MS Petroleum Engineering, New Mexico Tech.
Basins, counties and formations from seven years of Permian and Delaware Basin operations.
| SE New Mexico — Delaware Basin | Eddy County — Carlsbad, Loving, Malaga, Artesia, Whites City corridor. Lea County — Jal, Hobbs, Eunice, Monument. Horizontal development programs and vertical pilot wells. |
| West Texas — Midland Basin | Based out of Midland and Odessa; wells across Midland, Ector, Andrews, Martin, Reeves, Ward, Winkler and Loving Counties — Midland Basin and the Texas Delaware. |
| Formations logged | Bone Spring 1st, 2nd and 3rd · Wolfcamp A–D · Delaware Sands · Avalon Shale · Brushy Canyon · Yeso · San Andres · Spraberry · Dean · Cisco/Canyon · Devonian · Rustler and Salado salt sections. |
| On the unit | Cuttings catching and description, gas chromatography and calibration, real-time striplogs, formation top picks, kick-off/landing/casing point support, LWD/MWD and directional QC, pit and trip-tank surveillance, sensor installation and field repair. |
| Beyond the unit | Senior man supervising and training junior mud loggers; technical contact between rig floor, operator geologist and company man; field quality assurance management at GeoTek USA with audit-ready records and corrective actions to closure. |
Pulls production, cost and operational records from separate systems into one executive view, with the joins and unit reconciliation that field data always needs before it can be compared.
A rig-site reporting tool for the company man. Photograph the tank board, the mud report, the morning numbers — the app reads them, returns a formatted report and a mobile dashboard the office can open. Runs on the company man's own laptop with a folder connection, or hosted.
Seven years on active drilling rigs across the Permian and Delaware Basins, and a master's in petroleum engineering from New Mexico Tech. I catch the sample, run the chromatograph, call the top — and I build the dashboards that the data ends up in.
