Jeremiah Uche Osuji, a leading Drilling Fluids Engineer with over 14 years of industry experience, is setting new standards in sustainable drilling practices within the oil and gas sector.
With a career that spans critical projects in Nigeria and Saudi Arabia, Osuji’s expertise and commitment to environmental responsibility have positioned him as an influential figure in petroleum engineering globally.
Osuji’s journey in drilling fluids engineering began in Nigeria, where he honed his skills on high-profile projects, including the Oredo, Utorogu, and Abura fields managed by the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company (NPDC), and SNEPCO’s Bonga deepwater field.
His work extended to Saudi Arabia, where he has played a pivotal role in the Aindr, Haradh, Abqaiq, and other major fields under Baker Hughes’ projects for Saudi Aramco.
His ability to navigate the technical demands of diverse environments has not only advanced industry standards but also paved the way for safer and more sustainable drilling practices.
An advocate for continuous learning, Osuji holds a degree in Industrial Chemistry from Abia State University and an MBA with a specialisation in Renewable Energy.
