Currently, I’m working as a SLS Field Specialist with GWDC Kuwait, where I’ve been actively involved in monitoring drilling operations and analyzing rock cuttings. My experience spans both inclined and vertical wells, allowing me to adapt to diverse operational challenges and effectively to exploration and drilling projects.
