I bring 30+ years of field and commercial coring experience to operators and service companies, from early planning and equipment readiness through to execution, audits, and training. My focus is on turning technical capability into measurable business value. Ensuring high-quality core samples, consistent execution, and reliable results across operations.

Independent advisor
After three decades working across international coring operations, onshore and offshore, Arctic to tropical, I've gone independent. Coring Consult is how I work directly with operators and service companies, putting field and commercial experience to use in a more hands-on way.
I'm typically brought in when the operation is outside standard scope, when planning is critical, or when there's a need for someone who can see both the technical and business picture clearly. I'm known for being structured, reliable, and straightforward to work with, whether that's with internal stakeholders, field teams, or external clients.
Clarify the operational context, constraints, and what success looks like.
Review technology, equipment, procedures, and team alignment, before anything goes wrong.
Field support, audits, troubleshooting, or advisory as the operation demands.
