Steve Nas holds a Master’s degree in Drilling Engineering from Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen and has accumulated more than 40 years of experience in drilling engineering. He began his career in 1977 as a mud logger with Geoservices before becoming a wellsite drilling engineer in 1980. He initially worked on rigs across the Middle East and Africa, and later joined Shell in the UK North Sea. In the mid-1990s, Steve became heavily involved in coiled tubing and underbalanced drilling operations, and subsequently in managed pressure drilling. After obtaining his Master’s degree in the late 1990s, he began teaching well engineering and has since delivered numerous courses at various levels, including to MSc students. He has also developed a wide range of specialized training programs in drilling and well engineering. Currently working as an independent consultant, Steve provides well engineering training courses and offshore coaching, particularly on technically challenging wells.
