About Practical Energy Insights

Built from work actually done in the field.

Use lived upstream experience to get clearer career context, practical technical judgment and a better understanding of how decisions are actually made in the industry.

Jonathan Pillet

Upstream experience across drilling, completions and workover.

Jonathan has spent roughly 25 years in upstream oil and gas, with extensive international experience across multiple operating environments. His work has centered on drilling, completions, workover, well intervention and the practical decisions required to execute complex wells.

Practical Energy Insights is intentionally not positioned as commentary from someone trying to cover every corner of the energy sector. The focus is narrower: international upstream operations, careers and problem solving from someone who has actually lived the industry.
