Mike Smith

I joined the bp Women International Network in 2017 while working in Baku.

On my return to Aberdeen in 2019 I joined the Women in Wells North Sea Chapter and in 2020 I founded the Men as Allies Wells group in the North Sea. Since then I’ve helped to set up Men as Allies groups in London, Baku and Houston, with all groups staying closely connected to their local Women in Wells colleagues.

I grew up in a small town in Scotland. I met my wife when we both worked in Aberdeen. We married in 2014 and have two beautiful daughters and an adorable labradooble.

I work as a Well Superintendent for bp. My role is to ensure safe, compliant and efficient well intervention operations in the North Sea. I have 18 years of OIl and Gas industry exerience and have worked in Angola and Azerbaijan in addition to Aberdeen. I have a Bachelors Degree in Mechanical Engineering from Aberdeen University and a Master of Science in Subsea Engineering from Robert Gordon University.
