Our Team
Patrick Schauer
Patrick Schauer is the founder and owner of Confluence Engineering Consulting.
Prior to Confluence, Patrick served as the VP of Engineering for Freestone Midstream, a water focused midstream company serving the greater Rockies region. At Freestone he was responsible for the planning, permitting, and execution of all infrastructure and water treatment projects.
Before Freestone, Patrick spent time at a large engineering consulting firm and later as an engineer with an oil and gas producer working on industrial water treatment in the energy and natural resources sector. In these roles, Patrick designed and constructed water treatment plants, produced water gathering systems and SWD facilities. Patrick is grateful to have had the opportunity to experience all sides of the onshore oil and gas industry. His passion for responsible water management drove him to help develop and implement produced water recycling programs across many of the US onshore oil basins.
Raised in Littleton, CO, Patrick has a passion for the outdoors and loves to get outside whenever possible. When not camping, hiking or skiing, Patrick enjoys spending his time playing board games and brewing beer with friends. He currently lives in Denver with his wife and two dogs.
