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.

2496 m) and 13,250 m. BHCT was in excess of 104 C for these extended

reach wells. Challenging work, and completed on budget and time.

drilling fluid with a Diesel displacement prior to handing the well

over to production.
