Piers Johnson, Managing Director of OPC said:

Initially we were looking for just one petroleum engineer to bolster our team but I was so impressed with both Will and Alex, and both had very complimentary skill sets, that I decided we should hire both of them!  Will has excellent onshore gas experience and Alex has hands-on offshore well testing expertise (and certification).  Both will now work on a variety of OPC projects to build up their knowledge and help us to deliver an ever-growing workload of projects within our London technical team.”
