My expertise has been developed from a focus on wellwork engineering, wellbore design and extensive background in remedial operations including fishing operations, complex well abandonments and re-abandonments. I have successfully engineered and managed over 250 well abandonments in the Los Angeles basin, including multiple urban well sites locations. 

My experience includes a variety of oil and gas plays including California fields Los Angeles Basin, San Joaquin Basin, Ventura County & Northern CA Gas Country, as well as the work in South Texas, North Dakota, Wyoming and where I first got my boots dirty, Alberta Canada.
