Your expert course leader is an engineer with a passion for well integrity and possesses 28 years of international experience in field operations, technology development and management in the oil & gas and carbon storage sectors. Since 2018 he is program chair of the Well Integrity Technical Section of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE). He is also author or co-author of 31 technical papers, a book chapter on CO2 geological storage and 7 patent applications. He delivers training on well integrity, plug and abandonment, asset integrity, risk management and QHSE across the Eastern Hemisphere, and carries out active research on harnessing geological barriers, modeling leaks through cement, and quantifying methane emissions from oil & gas wells. He has extensive expertise in: Well integrity, cementing, corrosion, upstream oil & gas (drilling, completion), carbon capture and storage, mathematical modeling, risk management, reliability, HSSE (health/safety/security/environment), asset integrity, management systems, sustainable development, project management, portfolio management, training, and technology development and innovation. He has personally worked on CCS projects in Europe (France, Germany, Netherlands, Norway), Algeria, Japan and USA.
