World Energy Leaders: Diamond In The Rough Podcast07: TECHNICAL CHALLENGES IN DEEPWATER DEVELOPMENTLooking back on my career, there were a number of periods that I found challenging. In my first job as a mudlogger, I didn’t adapt easily to life on the rigs. Mudloggers were poorly paid, and consequently considered to be at the bottom of the pecking order. I was working with people from very different backgrounds – e.g. on the first rig I went to in the North Sea the entire crew of drillers & roughnecks were from Louisiana! It was important to try and get along with everyone, even if they had a very different perspective on life, and...

World Energy Leaders: Diamond In The Rough Podcast03: DIFFICULTIES IN THE JOB MARKET DURING PANDEMICGrowing up in the Maputo suburbs in a truly impoverished neighbourhood taught me valuable lessons and shaped me into the man I am today. My childhood friends, those from my neighborhood, dropped out of school for a variety of reasons. Some because they were forced to work to support their families, others because of early marriages, alcohol, and drug abuse. Almost none of the people I grew up with have gone on to complete their studies at university level. The chances of an individual raised in that neighbourhood attending college were extremely slim.I was blessed to...

World Energy Leaders: Diamond In The Rough Podcast02: THE FUTURE OF DEEPWATERGrowing up, I’ve always desired a career in the engineering field. My interest in pursuing engineering was two-fold, which includes both a gradual interest and an inspiration from my father.

I've grown accustomed to adapting quickly and effectively with each new relocation, but there are times when I wish I were a native of the city in which I live, with a geographical anchor. However, I believe it was preparing me for the events that were about to unfold. It has taught me the ada...

World Energy Leaders: Diamond In The Rough Podcast01: I AM A DIAMOND: Thrive Under PressureMichelangelo once said, “Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.” Diamonds are formed under pressure, but never forget, they are not formed overnight. In life, we are constantly pressured to meet expectations and to deliver exceptional results. The moments when we rise to the occasion will, more often than not, include a high amount of pressure. Do we dare to engage in the face of such pressures? Do we have the gumption to give it our all, knowing full well that we may fall visibly short? Just...
