Paul brings more than 20 years of experience to the award-winning company and will be responsible for managing worldwide field operations for BiSN. This ranges from overseeing personnel and logistic resources to ensuring operations in the field are completed safely and to the highest quality.

With an extensive background in operations management, Paul has worked in various roles throughout his career with Schlumberger, Welltec and DynaEnergetics. During this time he gained a wealth of knowledge in operations management, product development, QHSE and technical support to both internal and external customers.

Commenting on Paul’s appointment, BiSN chief executive officer, Paul Carragher, said: “We are delighted to welcome Paul to the BiSN team. His excellent track record and experience is a tremendous asset and provides us with an excellent platform for continued growth in 2018.

“BiSN has celebrated a raft of achievements so far this year, having been awarded significant investment from the Aberdeen-based Oil & Gas Technology Centre (OGTC) and also winning two Offshore Achievement Awards. Having Paul on board as we build on this success stands us in great stead as demand for our unique downhole technology continues to increase.”

Last month BiSN was recognised at the Offshore Achievement Awards, winning both the Great Company-SME and Innovator accolades. The company also continues to make its mark globally, carrying out work in the Norwegian North Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, North America and Angola.
