  I established with John Wright, in 2006, a Well Design and Risk Management company in Singapore, focusing on developing the next generation of smart tools, RTBC, for improved well integrity , barrier management and blowout prevention. Our company provides Well engineering Consulting on conceptual through to detailed well design services, and well construction support for global clients clients in either high risk drilling or well related production well monitoring for integrity. We have analysed and written Well Integrity Managements systems for several clients, and taught WIMS and HPHT courses across the world, and audit rigs for HPHT readiness. I am a firm believer in encouraging the next generation of engineers, and spreading my belief that accurately knowing the integrity of your wells at all times and activities is absolutely critical.
