Scott Thompson, P.Eng.
Senior Project Engineer and Discipline Lead, Flow Optimization
Scott has been involved in Noetic’s flow optimization programs since 2006, having participated in and led many projects relating to the optimization of in-situ injection and production wells for improved flow performance. Noetic has identified and investigated completion solutions with the potential to counter the challenging hydraulics of SAGD wells and improve resulting heat flow distributions, while at the same time improving the economics of thermal in-situ operations. Scott has been involved in many aspects of flow control system design, from numerical flow modeling to physical testing of downhole flow control devices to literature studies.
Scott is also involved in supporting SAGD operators with casing and liner connection selection, helping evaluate and choose practical connections based on project specific operating conditions.
Scott received a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Calgary in 2000. He was previously a research engineer with a Calgary-based company developing Solid Oxide Fuel Cells. This experience provided Scott with a strong testing, analysis, and mechanical design background, particularly for high temperature environments. Scott currently has one U.S. patent in this area and second patent pending.
In his free time, Scott likes to get his hands dirty, whether it’s restoring one of his hobby vehicles, renovating his near 60-year old house, or cleaning up after his son.
