Drew Hunger is a recognized oil & gas industry decommissioning specialist. He removed his first offshore platform while with Amoco in 1993 to reuse it for a new development. He was the Gulf of Mexico P&A Manager and Decommissioning Manager at BP from 2002 through 2008. He was the Gulf of Mexico Decommissioning Manager at Apache Corporation from 2009 through 2013. During those periods, he and his teams plugged over 1200 wells and reefed or removed over 250 platforms. The oil & gas wells included vertical, deviated, horizontal, H2S, HPHT, and subsea. He and his teams managed the decommissioning of hurricane damaged wells and platforms, including one platform that was completely burned out. He has had to re-enter leaking P&Ad wells and continues to focus on why the leaks occur. Drew also worked to preserve and expand the rigs-to-reefs program in the GoM. Prior to being chosen to lead decommissioning, he had an extensive technical background in production operations, well intervention, facility construction and operations, and midstream (NGL plants, CO2 plants, pipelines, & compression). Drew continues to work as a consultant decommissioning project manager and expert witness.
