• PETROCELTIC (UK, IT) (2011-2014): detailed planning of deep heavy oil appraisal well in the Mediterranean Sea (Jack up), characterized by very weak formations both in the overburden (clays) and in the reservoir (fractured carbonates); planning challenges mostly in the selection of fluids and drilling techniques, and for the well testing program.  Also responsible for the technical preparation of the EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment), contractors management and well engineering spokesperson at meetings with government regarding the well.
• SHELL (UK) (2014): detailed planning of a long land development well through typical Dutch formations (clays, salts, carbonates, sandstones); difficult trajectory, very small drilling window, potentially very problematic carbonates and small targets; need for fraccing and therefore challenging casing design
