Isolda has worked for APC, SLB, Shell and BHP.
Jennifer Wilson
Jennifer holds a bachelors degree in Petroleum Engineering from Texas A&M University. Her experience in the oil and gas industry started with Chesapeake Energy as a Barnett Shale production engineer working with 42 drilling rigs. Her interest in data analysis began after she put together a data study to discover an optimal time to run tubing in a new well. Most recently, Jennifer has worked on the start up of a CO2 field and recycle facility for Tabula Rasa Energy all the while organizing well data and financial process optimization. Jennifer’s multifaceted experience has exposed her to several programming languages, software, and disciplines within the industry. She is a passionate engineer who is good at framing end goal objectives and working with her teammates to accomplish those goals.
