I am an internationally experienced Senior Drilling Fluids Engineer, with a proven record of delivering high value drilling fluids for drilling operations in remote locations and deepwater wells for top-tier oil and gas operators, focusing on performance and cost without sacrificing HSE values. Qualified with an IADC Well Control Supervisor Subsea Certificate and extensive Halliburton, Baroid & Dresser Drilling Fluids Training.I effectively plan and anticipate chemical and fluid needs to enhance drilling operations in remote offshore environments. I am highly experienced at monitoring operations and optimizing drilling fluid to increase drilling efficiency. Furthermore, I am adept at reviewing performance of drilling to prepare for well bore challenges and reduce NPT. I also monitor drilling fluid properties to deliver optimum fluid performance and deliver quick, concise and definitive analysis of fluid issues followed by treatment or solution recommendation.During my career, I have worked for / with many oil and gas organisations, including: ExxonMobil, Spinnaker, Hess, Shell, Chevron, BHP, BP and Halliburton, Baroid and Dresser Industries. My achievements include:✅ - ExxonMobil Alberta, field tested a new synthetic based drilling fluid on a 3 well package. As Global Technical Field Advisor, mobilized to rig site to supervise, monitor and treat fluid during 10,200ft trial wells and successfully drilled at higher drilling rates than ever experienced, saving 3 days rig time.✅ - Spinnaker commenced a deepwater drilling project in GOM and experienced higher pore pressures, severely narrowing drilling window for acceptable ECD and jeopardizing TD. As Senior Drilling Fluids Engineer, assured client, managed change and modified rheological properties of the drill fluid, allowing them to achieve desired TD.✅ - Hess experienced cuttings build up while drilling extended reach wells beneath an Indonesian National Preserve. As Senior Drilling Fluids Engineer, changed rheology of fluid and created new sweep program to aid in hole cleaning and successfully removed requirement for back reaming, saving 4 days compared to previous wells.My Skills:• Drilling Fluids Engineering• Deepwater• H2S• HPHT • BaraECD• HYDROGUARD• Synthetic Fluids• Solids Control Optimization• Riser-less Drilling• Semi-Submersibles• Dual Derrick Drillships• Jack-Ups & Land Rigs• MPD & PMCD• Project Management• Well Planning• Inventory Control• HSE Leadership• Well Control• Extended Reach Drilling• PPA Testing• Hydraulic Modelling• DFG DrillAhead Hydraulics
