I joined the petroleum industry as a Gas Plants project engineer in in the early ‘90s. I became a Well Engineer in 1997. Since then I worked for Shell, BG Group, Saudi Aramco, BP, Addax, and numerous small operators in Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Angola, etc. Presently my interest is in innovation and entrepreneurship. I have master’s degree from Heriot-Watt University and HEC Paris in petroleum engineering and innovation management respectively. I’m currently a doctor of engineering candidate at George Washington University. I have been an SPE Mentor since 2005. I have seen the growth of very many professionals over the two decades. I’m always ready to support a colleague with professional development and I’m happy to be contacted.
