Ashley Henderson Troutman – Drilling Engineer at BP

EDUCATION:
|
My favorite college memory is my senior engineering design project...it required many hours of teamwork, culminated in a design worthy of "real life" application and built friendships that I still maintain to this day. I have 11 years of work experience - primarily in drilling. I've worked in Colorado, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico and Alaska. I recently was the drilling engineer for a multi-lateral well in Colorado which came on as the #7 top producing well in the basin. The SPE-GCS scholarship opened my eyes to a career in the oil and gas industry, particularly the upstream environment. This awareness drove me to pursue internships with oil and gas operators thereby launching my career with one of the top operators in the world. My advice to students is to never stop learning, encourage curiosity and strive for answers to all of your "why" questions. Contact me at Ashley.Henderson@bp.com.
