Jason Sabid

Responsible for overall budget planning and execution; including production forecasting, capital planning, and opex forecasting for 24,000 bbl/d of heavy oil production.

Essential Functions:

• Providing monthly outlook and all asset reporting
• Planning and executing drilling programs up to 55 wells/year
• Overseeing $110MM in capital spending, including $35MM in polymer across 3 separate polymer projects
• Coordinates all area reserves, third party and quarterly updates
• Generates Asset development plans for long term corporate planning
• Oversees all Type Curve development and economic evaluations for development projects and locations
• Lead weekly meetings among technical staff and field leadership providing corporate updates, and assigning priorities
• Weekly reporting to Executive, and leads creation of Executive and Board presentation materials for division
• Key individual for all regulatory/EOR royalty filings

Worked as a multi-disciplined team member in one of the companies largest and most active fields. Since 2013, the Cactus Lake team has drilled over 300 wells, implemented a ~75,000 bbl/d polymer flood, and grown production from ~3700bbl to ~8900bbl.

Reservoir Work (Polymer Flood/Water Flood):

• Responsible for pattern optimization, setting monthly injection targets, and reviewing targets with operators every month. Ensuring all injection targets are achievable within facility constraints.
• Assigning and maintaining allocation factors for 186 injector patterns and ~345 producers (>1000 allocations) within a pattern balancing spreadsheet.
• Evaluation of core flooding experiments, and interpretation of results regarding polymer selection, concentration, slug size ect.
• Responsible for polymer data collection and interpretation to coordinate with ongoing reservoir management strategies, well analysis, and production decisions (reactivations, pump upgrades, re-perfs, shut ins).
• Type curve analysis and assisting team with production forecasts/budgeting.
• Design and execution of four gel treatments for polymer shut off.

Facilities/Operations

• Engineering design, commissioning, and troubleshooting of 3 polymer injection facilities.
• Engineering design, commissioning, and implementation of N2 blanketing retrofit of two existing facilities, decreasing chemical degradation of polymer by ~20% (.2.2MM - 4 MM yearly savings).
• Optimized design of triplex polymer pump spring design with custom springs reducing building vibration and increasing pump efficiency.
• Assistance with well control design, optimization and testing (coil chokes).
• Optimized fire tube burner design to handle produced polymer. Extended run time for fire tube failures from 2 months to nonexistent (routine turn arounds).
• Optimized burner wash system to include efficient nozzle spacing/spraying, with dedicated supply pump.
• Actively partook in production chemical studies to screen and identify compatible products (DMO's, Clarifiers, ect). As well, helped select best areas for satellite injection based off of emulsion characteristics and produced polymer presence.
• Implemented polymer monitoring program and training of operators to collect and measure injection viscosities/produced polymer identification.

• Provided EOR technical support to customers at all levels and stages of EOR polymer projects (design, construction, ongoing operation).
• Specialization in optimizing polymer flood performance by understanding the effects of water quality, polymer characteristics, polymer manufacturing process, degradation, and surface equipment impacts.
• Experience and knowledge relating to handling produced polymer and its effects on battery operations.
• Working knowledge of water flooding (polymer) reservoir theory (darcy’s law, buckley leverett, fractional flow curves, mobility ratio, capillary number, geological properties, ect.)

• Experience in an engineering procurement construction and management environment.
• Scope development, conceptualization, process selection, front end design and cost estimates.
• Experience in FEED and detailed design, preparing engineering packages, equipment data sheets, line sizing, line designation tables, pump sizing, PSV/pressure relief calculations, hydraulic reports (liquid and steam), development of PFD’s/ P&ID’s.
• Actively partook in HAZOP and Risk Assessment studies.                                                                                                                                 _

• Hands on working experience with solids control equipment including centrifuges and shakers on various drilling rigs.
• Set up, servicing, troubleshooting, and take down of centrifuges.
