I am a Senior Researcher at NORCE Energy Modelling and Automation group and I am working on well construction technologies mostly applied to O&G, with a potential of application to geothermal projects, from shallow to ultra-deep and from planning to execution. Prior to joining NORCE in 2021, I worked 10 years in the drilling industry where I managed and implemented projects related to hole making technologies. I have been a member of several drilling conference program committees (SPE/IADC Drilling Conference, ADIPEC) and a member of the Geothermal Energy Association of Norway.
