About
I have over 46 continuous years of varied and specialized experience in the upstream Oil & Gas and Geothermal industries, with over 30 continuous years managing drilling, completions, work over and abandonment teams and on-site operations. I have been an Expert Witness in 2 separate property damage/loss of revenue cases for the Prosecution.
Methodology & Approach
I review EVERY available file related to the operational issue or failure being litigated, and offer my expert opinion on the processes that attributed to issue or failure. I DO NOT simply take a position of support for those who hire me, I state my expert opinion on the matter even if it is in contradiction to the opinion of those who hire me. I am adamant that I will provide honest, fact based opinions based on my expertise and experience.
Expert Witness Experience
I have been an expert witness for the Prosecution in 2 separate, unrelated cases (1 currently ongoing). I have been called to testify in court and the case (and subsequent damages) were awarded to the prosecution.
Case Types
Property damage and loss of assets (loss of well-bore, production, revenue)
