Stephen O’Connor is a global domain expert for GeoPressure.
He has also been involved in internal knowledge transfer and teaching > 50 external courses including bespoke courses for companies focused on integrating the G&G, asset and drilling teams.
He has been instrumental in developing “Best Practice” workflows and R&D for well planning, mentoring staff and integrating pore pressure with other disciplines such as rock physics and geomechanics.
