SUMMARY OF EXPERIENCE FOR THIS POSITION
Fred Wiegand has 3 degrees from The University
of Texas at Austin. Bachelor of Science Petroleum Engineer, Bachelor of Science Petroleum Geology, and Master of Science Petroleum
Engineer, and is a licensed professional engineer in the State of Texas, specializing in deep well design, drilling and well
control, including engineering well design and advanced wellsite supervision of any kind of drilling rig world wide.
Well Control Certificate is International Well Control Forum surface subsea drilling supervisor in May 2003 from Well Control
School, with the Interactive International Well Control Forum subsea drilling supervisor certificate. Fred Wiegnad has had
well control certificates yearly since 1977, and has authored an article about well control in the industry magazine Petroleum
Engineer International. He personally worked several kicks in the last few years, on the rig floor with the drillers and pushers
on a jackup rig in GOM and on several land rigs. He worked on a drilling rig in the desert in Yemen, “turning and burning”
in a vertical hole through the Safer Salt. He has supervised "state-of-the-art" computerized land rigs and drillships.
With over 30 years of drilling work, Mr. Wiegand has designed drilling and well-completion programs and supervised
operations on many types of land rigs, and also have worked as company man on deepwater floaters, including jackup rigs, semi-submersible
rigs and a drillship. This deepwater work was off West Africa and Eastern Brazil, and includes all phases of drilling, sidetracking,
horizontal extended reach, well control, coring, stuck pipe, fishing, directional drilling, running and cementing casing and
liners, deep air drilling, conventional drilling with oil-base muds, freshwater muds, and salt muds, drilling holes from 24”
OD down to 4-3/4” OD, bit selection, coil tubing supervision for fishing and well testing from jackups, and well completions
using tubing from 1 inch to 7 inches, with multiple completions, including multilateral completions in fishbone wells. I have
also supervised many workover rigs, including hydraulic fracturing of wells, pulling rods & tubing, and balancing pump
jacks.
Also, Mr. Wiegand has often designed the drilling and well completion programs for some of the deepest
wells in the world -- setting records -- with the assistance of junior engineers, as the team leader, and then implemented
the programs at the wellsite as senior drilling engineer or night company man or completions engineer. Lone Star's Bertha
Rodgers, OK, USA to 32,500 ft TVD. Pustaser #1 and Mako #6 deepest well in Hungary 2005 to 6,000 meters. Mr. Wiegand assited
