Projects & Portfolio
Generalization of Injection Well Data in Texas
Wrote an advanced python script to generalize over 300,000 records of injection well data in Texas. The script utilized several ESRI geoprocessing tools in sequence. This reduced the overall time of the process and allowed the company to handle more datasets in the same amount of time.
Multi-State Oil and Gas Data Aggregation
Supported an effort to Find, gather, and process public oil and gas data for 30 states, Identified subsurface bore hole data and water well data for nine other states. This data was a key resource for the overall project and goal.
Real-Time Geosteering Dashboard
Created a power BI dashboard that linked with 'live' excel sheets from geology and engineering that allowed the user to see upcoming well pads, wells to drill, target depths, and production if available.
