I have been with Schlumbegrer, Formally Smith International for 26 years. At present I am the Senior Fishing tool supervisor for South & East Africa. Living full time in South Africa with my family on a work permit. I joined the operation here in November 2010, as the Field service manager, and during that time I helped increase the Operational side from two rig’s in Mozambique to 12 rig’s in 8 different South and East African countries. Prior to South Africa I was living and working with Smith Australia as a fishing engineer for 2 years and have gained more experience in Fishing / whipstocks and P&A on floating rigs. I also spent several months in New Zealand, working on a platform, which was using a snubbing unit to mill / fish and set whipstocks and recover completions. Due to the successful operation, I was the Stos (Shell) requested engineer for the Thru tubing whipstock and fishing operations. Prior to moving to Australia I was living and working in the Middle East for 9 years. Over this time I have gained a huge amount of experience in Fishing, milling, whipstock –re-entry and undereaming. I have worked all over the Middle East, also India, Pakistan and Malaysia, working in extreme environments, and with all nationalities. I feel have performed well and gained respect from the various operations supervisors that I have worked with.
