Set up and maintained gas detection equipment, monitored gas readings. Troubleshot and fixed equipment malfunctions. Communicated daily with onsite company representative, tool pusher, and driller on the status of formation lithology. Provided essential information to the driller and company representative in regards to gas levels and lithology of well cuttings at regular intervals. Provided information on H2S levels near pits and shakers. Exercised stop work authority on multiple occasions when conditions became unsafe. Oversaw onsite training of new employees. Reviewed work performed by team loggers and trainees. Set work schedule on job site (12 hour shifts). Responsible for final log given to the customer.

Callon Petroleum Company
September 2010 to December 2011
Geological Technician
On the operations team I filed reports and logs, kept track of our locations, created and maintained well folders for each well. Created surface maps of lease areas, maintained well database, created maps utilizing the database, kept operations geologist informed of drilling status as well as communicated with mud loggers to stay informed of lithology, formation and drilling status.
While working with the exploration team, I assisted with creating complex surface and subsurface maps, cross sections and diagrams and performed extensive research on stratigraphy, along with potential pay zones and previous well sites within our areas of interest. Compared graphic logs as well as electric logs to pick formation tops and mapped the tops across the basin from well to well. Mapped the subsurface of the Permian Basin of west Texas from the Central Basin Platform to the Eastern Shelf in order to help pick AOIs for future projects.
Reason for leaving: I was accepted into the Master’s Program at the University of Texas - Permian Basin. I resigned to pursue a Master of Science Degree in order to become eligible for Geologist positions within the Oil and Gas Industry.

SandRidge Energy
Summer 2007
Field Geologist Intern
Attended morning drilling meetings in order to discuss the overnight status of the drilling rigs. Met with other field geologists to divide up rigs to visit amongst ourselves, visited the mud loggers at each location to review samples and confirm that mud loggers were calling correct lithology, picked formation tops from sample review, communicated findings to onsite company representatives and operations geologists in Oklahoma City. Also stayed on location during e-log sweeps to monitor progress and review the e-logs when they were completed. Stopped a misinformed company man from running casing before e-logs could be taken. This action saved the company a little over one million dollars according to the geologist in charge of the well.
Reason for leaving: The internship ended and I had to return to school.
