Energy consultants Knowledge Reservoir named Dan Gualtieri vice president of production solutions in January. Gualtieri previously worked with Baker Hughes, Halliburton, Boots & Coots and Weatherford International, where he touched upon all aspects of the oil field.
“Every two to three years I’d go into a new role focusing on projects in a different aspect of the well delivery process – stimulation diagnostics, wireline, digital asset solutions, intelligent completions, shale strategies, consulting, project management, and others,” he says.
“Understanding an operator’s needs and having a strong aptitude for project management allowed me to be of value to Knowledge Reservoir and apply what I had learned across the board.”
Gualtieri says he’s joining Knowledge Reservoir at an exciting time due to the company’s focus on full field development strategies as well as the launch of new knowledgesharing platforms that will allow it to leverage big data.
“The company has a strong knowledge sharing strategy, initiated with its release of the deepwater knowledge base, ReservoirKB, in 2003,” Gualtieri says. “The subscription based service expands on public domain data with layers of independent interpretation and analysis.”
This year Knowledge Reservoir will release two platforms dedicated to unconventional resources and enhanced oil recovery.
