Christine Sliva DeFriend - Reservoir Engineer at Chevron

EDUCATION:
|
My favorite college memories were studying, or cramming, late late at night with friends on campus then deciding it's time for waffles - and walking to iHop to continue studying - this happened before almost every test. I am a reservoir engineer responsible for reservoir modeling for multiple assets as well as mentoring younger engineers on various modeling topics. I have had multiple promotions in my first five years of working, presented 3 posters and 2 oral presentations at our annual internal reservoir management forums, and published 2 articles within our internal newsletter. The SPE-GCS scholarship helped me pay for the education needed to be where I am today - the best petroleum engineering degree I could get. My advice to students is to study hard, then a little harder. It's about learning the material, not making an A. I crammed for too many tests then forgot the material - I've pulled out my notes on the job many times and wished I actually remembered what I once did for the test. Contact me at Christine@sliva.com.
