Benedicte Crapez, Petroleum engineer

Why DONG Energy?
I find the oil and gas industry really fascinating and it suits me to work in an environment where I am constantly challenged .

I am a petroleum engineer. After two and half year as operations supervisor on the Siri platform, I now work permanently at the offices in Hørsholm, where my team is engaged in optimising production.

Optimising oil production
When I worked offshore, I was responsible for prioritising and distributing the day-to-day tasks among the technicians working on the platform. Typically, I was offshore for two weeks, home for three weeks and at the office for one week. So, I’ve spent many hours in the field gaining practical experience useful to my current work, where my team works with optimising the day-to-day production and contributes to some longer-term projects, such as enhancing oil extraction. I use  this hands-on experience when I cooperate with other specialist teams, such as Offshore Technology, Subsurface or Well Construction teams
