  Assumed leadership of HDS in Jan 2019 and (re)directed team of 45 global employees and 200+ contractors with >$20mm budget to deliver key digital technologies for HAL: RTS, Edge, Data Lake, Petrotech ML/AI. In parallel, established 24x7 technical support organizations using best-cost-country engineers to augment global Halliburton operations.Key accomplishments…Developed and launched real-time-as-a-service (RTS) data transmission system for all HAL business units. RTS streams drilling data from 200+ rigs to HAL customers in Norway and Middle East via public and private Azure cloud respectively. Meets stringent high-bandwidth and QA/QC requirements of Norway (WITSML/ETP) customers. RTS cloud saves nearly $1mm per year in OPEX versus legacy on-premise PC system.Deployed over 40 units of advanced edge/IIOT system to HAL well construction operations: enabled creation of 5 remote operation center (ROCs) and reduction of HAL employees at rigsite. HDS edge units leverage Kubernetes and open-source IIOT to do data acquisition, translation, and transmission, and run ML/AI models at rigsite. Edge platform & RTS are backbone of HAL digital transformation, enabling retirement of 25+ year old HAL system. Show less
