Experience (deepwater)
2005-Present MI-Swaco Schlumberger Drilling Fluids Consultant International
Division. This experience has allowed me to develop my technical and team
skills. I am used to working in a fast paced industry where it is critical
to communicate in a concise and professional manor. My offshore experience
over the last 12 years has been almost exclusively in deep and ultra
deepwater operations on 3rd, 4 th, 5th and 6th generation Semi Subs and
drill ships. I have hired on as client fluids advisors in the Ivory Coast,
Russian Republic and Vietnam for CNRL, EXXON and Cuulong as an ExxonMobil
fluid representative. Although this job was challenging and committed to
success and safety and the cost efficiency of the fluid program.
2014- 2015-Luk Oil-Romania-Helena 1X and Helena 1X and St-01. First
Exploration well and side track for Luk Oil in the Black Sea. Well was
Vertical in nature. There were no offsets, poor pore pressure data and
massive losses were encountered. FAS products were pumped. Losses
encountered were in excess of 300 bbl/hr at 800 gpm. LCM protocol was
followed. Reduced losses to 7 bbls/hr with no less than 5 LCM pills
and Form A Squeeze. Final losses were healed with Cement Plug as well
was thought to be Fractured. The data and information I provided was
essential on deriving new mud weights and casing points for the side
track well.
