Bio
Gary Limb
I worked closely with Isabel on several well integrity engineering projects at BP. Her extensive experience in production engineering and training management along with her amiable personality and goal-oriented work ethic made her a very effective team member. I think she would be a great asset to any oil and gas exploration and production company and recommend her without reservation.
