Mechanical Engineering Shell Oil : Retired

Update 9/22/10: Well since I've been begging for updates, I guess I ought to provide one. I was getting ready to say that I'd gotten into another band, playing keyboards, but before I got around to it, I got the boot for not "speaking the same musical dialect".. Oh well. First time I ever got fired from a job.

Spent a good amount of time watching the BP fiasco this summer. Leave us say, those boys screwed up big time... for everyone. Hopefully mother nature will do her thing quickly. Take care.

Original post: Originally from Englewood NJ. Moved to New Orleans after graduation to work for Shell Oil. Spent the majority of career in Well Completions. Worked on wells in TX, LA, AL and MS and Offshore Gulf of Mexico. Got to consult worldwide. Specialized in sour gas (H2S) completion technology. Worked on Shell's first Tension Leg Platform in the Gulf, Auger, which was in 2,962 feet of water. Also completed what were the deepest Subsea wells in the world at the time (5,320' WD) at Prospect Mensa. Took early retirement in 2004 to pursue a second carreer in music. Joined "Juniper Row" shortly after retiring. Also played in a band I started called "mean free path". Check out www.JuniperRow.com, www.MySpace.com/JuniperRow and www.meanfreepath.net. Never married, (that's why I could retire at 52 and try for rock stardom!)
