Steve Nas

Steve Nas holds master degree in drilling engineering from the Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen and has accumulated over 40 years of drilling engineering experience. Steve started in 1977 as a mud logger with Geoservices before becoming a wellsite drilling engineer in 1980.  Initially working rigs as a wellsite drilling engineer around the Middle East and throughout Africa before working for Shell in the UK North Sea. In the mid 1990’s became heavily involved in coiled tubing and underbalanced drilling and later into managed pressure drilling. He has been teaching well engineering since obtaining his master’s degree in the late 1990’s and has taught numerous courses at all levels including MSc students and developed a large number of training courses. Now working as an independent consultant he provides a number of well engineering related courses and offshore coaching on challenging wells
