process.Optimized internal queries used to fetch and process data, took advantage ofbulk operations to enhance
performance.
Account Balance, Account Summary, and Budget Data Feed from JDE – Created new optimized processes for
account balance, account summary, and budget to realize a significant performance & efficiency gain. As part of
development added process tracking and error logging to gain more insight into process level and table level errors.
Additionally, added email notification that reports on process statistics.
Payroll History Process - Created an optimized the processes for loading payroll history to realize a significant
performance & efficiency gain. As part of development added process tracking and error logging to gain more
insight into process level and table level errors. Finally, added email notification with process statistics.
BHP Billiton Oracle Developer 9/2012 – 06/2016
SYNOPSIS:
While at BHP, I gained a deep & valuable understanding of the oil and gas industry from an operational perspective
and its associated set ofchallenges including data integrity, integration with other systems, communication and
interfacing of disparate systems and the management of data and complexity. To address these set ofchallenges, we
worked with the business to use technological solutions to drive efficiencies in the day to day work of production
analysts via loaders, interfaces, and reports to reduce manual steps involved in business processes in order to reduce
complexity, reduce errors, and improve workflows. Additionally, validations and reconciliations were provided to
alleviate users from this responsibility. Finally, issues and errors encountered during loader or interface runs were
reported so that they could be corrected, thus providing an avenue for improvement.
Productivity & Process Improvement Project (2015)

3. MPRT (Monthly Production Reporting Template) - Created a forecasting / accounting package that tracks
production volumes from an engineer's estimate, to estimated daily production, to actual monthly production, and
finally to what revenue actually books. First it takes an engineer’s estimated production, then applies daily and
monthly true ups from the production systemusing various inputs from different sources into the calculation.
Additionally, auto reversals are applied to each accrual type based on a defined and configurable
threshold. Additionally, there may be volumes associated with joint venture exceptions, volumes in legal accrual,
and top level adjustments. Finally, volumes are actualized using volumes coming from SAP PRA, the revenue
system. This is the transactionalcomponent of the solution,which feeds into a star-schema reporting layer.
MPRT OBIEE dashboards - Involved in creation, modification, and maintenance of processes that take MPRT
transactionaltables and transform to a star-schema dimensional data model and reporting layer consumed by OBIEE
for management dashboards.
Flowcal to Quorum Gas Analysis Interface - Created interface to take gas analysis data from the Scada system
(Flowcal) into Quorum (the marketing system) using pipelined functions which streamdata and are called within
web services called by Informatica. Informatica subsequently unparses the XML and after validating loads into
staging tables within Quorum. The data is then moved from staging to interface tables,and finally to core tables.
Production & Engineering Stabilization Project (2014)
Gas Analysis Synchronization Process - Created concurrent process that retrieves the gas analysis off of source
equipment on a given operating unit. Then it creates a gas analysis on the destination equipment. The mechanism is
triggered by the creation or update of an existing gas analysis. Implemented gas quality synchronization through the
use of advanced messaging / queuing as an enhancement to this process.
Completions Volume Loader - Created concurrent program that loads both daily and monthly volumes , casing,
tubing, choke, hours on, and downtime reason into EU using an alias table to lookup BHP wells.
Purchaser Statements Loader - Created concurrent program that loads transporterstatements provided by the
purchaser. The process matches up a run ticket and ticket date from the source file and loads the equipment and
volumes associated with the run ticket at both the header and detail level.
Equipment Volumes Loader - Created concurrent program that Loads daily and monthly equipment readings for
gas meters, oil meters, water meters, and tanks.
Gas Transporter Statements Interface - created concurrent program interface that pulls transporterstatements
from Flowcal and loads them into the production system.
Gas Analysis Interface - created concurrent program interface that pulls the gas analysis from Flowcal and loads
them into the production system.
Production Integration Project (2013)
PDREP (Production Data Repository) Data Mart – Responsible for creation and enhancement of database views,
procedure, packages, and other objects used in the support of interfaces and reporting from within the data mart. In
this capacity, made extensive use of table functions and pipelined table functions for complex business logic to
overcome limitations of standard SQL. Created fast-refreshable materialized views to replicate source tables into a
data repository to improve performance. Gained broad exposure to Oracle analytical functions and their varied uses
in calculations to speed up queries and provide complex data analysis. Gained exposure to Oracle data warehouse
methodologies by working to tune queries and create normalized/ de-normalized structures.Produced scripts for
ETL, for example to load factors, forecast data, mapping data, etc. and update data for conversions.

4. Well Bulk Upload - created process to interface well data,completion data, and associated effective dated operator
history, effective dated regulatory classification of well, and effective dated production status to SAP.
BHP to Petrohawk Monthly Volumes Interface - Responsible for the creation of an interface to process monthly
volumes from one production allocation systemto anotherusing shell scripting, Oracle apps,and packages.This
requirement was necessary since allocations were run in parent company, while revenue was processed through
acquired company.
Component Allocation - Since the allocation systemwas not used to allocate NGLs and Residue gas,created a
customcomponent allocation post-process to process the wet gas down into its constituent NGL components and
Residue gas and allocate those products backdown to a completion/ well level. Created procedure to traverse
allocation network to find completions attached to the network, which in turn is used by formulas used in the
allocation engine to allocate volumes back down to those completions.
