Lew Weingarth, DP and Controls Consulting Engineer

One phone call to do it all.

Lew Weingarth, 35 years experience with deepwater drilling rigs.  Operatons on and off the rig, Rig Management, Staff Engineer, designing, installing, upgrading, fixing, improving Drilling, BOP, DP, Power Plant, and production systems.  

I've run sea trials, shore based acceptance teams on behalf of owner and oil company, and helped Class, Vendors, Owners, and Operators to eliminate downtime.

Typically I've been called when nobody else can fix it or when multiple skills and wide knowledge are required.

Innate "systems view" of rigs, it's not a ship with 20 systems, it's a drilling rig where EVERY system has to work together to succeed, and success is constructing a well with maximum safety and minimum cost. 

I've also helped vendors, class, and professional societies establish rules, designs, and guidelines.

Many years of developing training programs, and developing people, extensive mentoring skills.
