About Christian Thompson
8+ years of experience delivering and leading complex upstream projects for a major operator, with a focus on technology adoption, execution excellence, and cross-functional leadership.I most recently served as Lead Field Engineer on the Deepwater Titan, where I led execution of the world’s first three 20 ksi subsea completions—introducing first-of-kind technology in some of the most safety-critical and capital-intensive environments in the industry. I currently work as a Deepwater Completions Engineer, owning projects end-to-end from early planning and design through offshore execution.Throughout my career, I’ve operated at the intersection of engineering, operations, and business—working closely with internal leadership and service providers to evaluate, deploy, and scale advanced technologies. This has given me firsthand insight into how upstream organizations make capital decisions, manage risk, and adopt new platforms across subsurface, drilling, completions, and operations.
