Petroleum engineer with offshore and well-completions field leadership experience.
KazakhstanWhat I'm looking for
I am a petroleum engineer with practical offshore and onshore field experience across drilling, well completions, seismic acquisition, and managed-pressure drilling. I have worked internationally in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan and on offshore vessels, troubleshooting complex systems and leading multidisciplinary teams.
At Schlumberger I supervised 20+ high-pressure, high-temperature and sour well completion operations, designed and executed uncemented liner hanger jobs, and restored permanent downhole gauge telemetry to avoid non-productive time. In my current role at Shearwater Geoservices I operate and maintain streamer acquisition systems, source control, positioning and depth/compass units for high-fidelity seismic surveys.
I bring strong safety focus and formal training (IWCF Level 3, BOSIET, STCW), practical software proficiency (DrillBench, WellCat, TDAS, ERA, Victus MPD), and a track record of mentoring juniors and delivering operational excellence under tight schedules.
