William joined Shell in 1986 as a research geologist in charge of production-related scientific & technical studies. He was involved in fractured reservoir projects (core analysis and fracture characterisations for several fields in Oman and North Sea, in the seal integrity studies (Nigeria, North Sea and Indonesia) and on industrial projects of production-induced ground subsidence above gas or hydrocarbon fields (Troll field for Norske Shell and the Groningen giant gas field for the NAM). In 1989 he moved to the Geology-Geochemistry-Geophysics Division in IFP, Rueil-Malmaison, France where he took part in many applied research projects for seismic interpretation and hydrocarbon exploration. Projects were at the frontier between geomechanics and structural geology, both developing and using sand-box physical experiments and numerical models (e.g. finite elements computer codes). William developed a structural-thermal-maturity computer program which became a tool for exploration of complex areas, mainly thrust belts petroleum provinces.

He designed the Thrustpack tool (Sassi et al., 2007; Deville & Sassi, 2006) for structural validation of seismic sections in fold and thrust belts. In 2006-2007 William took a sabbatical leave from IFP to join the teams of software developers and geologists of Midland Valley Exploration Ltd., Glasgow, Scotland. From 2009 to 2011, William was advisor at the French’s ministry of high education and research where he was advisor in charge of mineral resources and transport.
