About John Scanlon

An experienced Driller / Engineer, with a proven track record of planning and supervising drilling, completions and workover operations onboard land rigs, jack-ups, semi-submersibles and drill ships for top-tier oil and gas operators, including HPHT, Deepwater, MPD and H2S wells. Key strengths include: reviewing drilling programmes for upcoming operations and planning all required work permits and risk assessments to ensure safe operations; preparing and testing all third-party drilling equipment, BOPs, high pressure lines and surface well control equipment to prove integrity; monitoring well parameters and adjusting WOB, pump pressure, flow rates and top drive RPM to optimise drilling performance; planning preventative maintenance around tight operational windows to prevent non-productive time; and capturing lessons learned from after action reviews to write and improve procedures and standardise / streamline routine work scopes.
