Autorenporträt

Peter B. Flemings is a professor and holds the Barrows Centennial Chair with the Jackson School of Geosciences at The University of Texas, Austin. He leads 'UT GeoFluids', a long-running industry-sponsored effort dedicated to developing new concepts and approaches to predict pressure and stress in the subsurface. He served on the US Department of Energy's well integrity team during the Deepwater Horizon blowout, he is a Geological Society of America Fellow, and he was a distinguished lecturer for the American Association of Petroleum Geologists and the International Ocean Drilling Program. He has served as Chief Scientist on numerous scientific drilling expeditions.
