James Watchorn

I am registered as a Professional Engineer with over 23 years of experience in the oil and gas industry in Canada, New Zealand, and the Middle East.  During this time, I have been delivering complex oilfield projects with technical engineering expertise on time and within budget. 

I am a goal-driven individual with immense knowledge of full-cycle petroleum engineering operations, including upstream planning and design of both oil and gas facilities, artificial lift selection, wellsite tie-in operations, well integrity, pipeline design, compression, water treatment and disposal, upstream facility infrastructure planning and installation, and reservoir management.

Recently, I have studied different energy transition options applicable to the MENA region and have done coursework on green hydrogen consultancy and waste heat to power systems using ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) technologies.

I am a proactive and self-motivated leader who fosters relationships with JV partners, multi-disciplined teams, and senior leadership through superior communication and presentation skills.
