Summary
I am an Oil & Gas professional with over 11 years of total industry experience, currently working as an Offshore Driller with more than 3 years of experience in drilling and Plug & Abandonment (P&A) operations. I have delivered offshore projects for major operators including Brunei Shell Petroleum (BSP) and PETRONAS, and I am currently engaged in offshore P&A activities with Vantris Energy Drilling Company.
My professional background includes extensive exposure to offshore drilling and well abandonment operations, with hands-on involvement in monitoring drilling and well parameters, operating and overseeing rig equipment, supporting tripping and cementing operations, and executing P&A programs in compliance with approved procedures and regulatory requirements.
I have practical experience supporting and executing P&A operations, including wellbore preparation, placement of mechanical and cement barriers, cementing support activities, and ensuring well integrity throughout the abandonment process. I work closely with Toolpushers, Drilling Supervisors, Engineers, service companies, and rig crews to ensure safe and efficient execution of critical offshore operations.
Safety and operational discipline are core to my work. I consistently comply with HSE standards, actively participate in toolbox talks, risk assessments, and safety drills, and maintain strong situational awareness and well control awareness during routine and non-routine offshore operations.
I am experienced in offshore rotational schedules and physically demanding environments, and I am known as a reliable, team-oriented professional who values continuous learning and skill development.
I am open to new drilling opportunities that offer career progression, advanced training and exposure to complex within offshore drilling and P&A operations.
