Optimizing Hydraulic Fracture Sand Scheduling

  • Role: Project Manager, Marcellus North Division
  • Objective: Optimize the hydraulic fracture sand schedule to determine the net present value (NPV) of the well, providing guidance on its intrinsic value.
  • Key Tasks:
    • Determine the optimum economic sand design schedule
    • Calculate the BTAX and ATAX NPV using various pricing scenarios
Enhancing Oil Recovery through WAG Injection
  • Role: Project Manager, Cranfield Oil Production
  • Objective: Optimize field operations using Water Alternate Gas (WAG) injection to enhance oil recovery and assess the field's net present value.
  • Key Tasks: 
    • Develop an optimal gas injection design schedule 
    • Calculate the BTAX and ATAX NPV of the field
