In 1973, facing prosecution for dangerous driving following a high-speed motorcycle collision, a young civil engineer accepted a short-term job offer in Singapore. That twist of fate catapulted him into a global oil and gas industry fuelled by fallout from the Yom Kippur War, which saw crude oil jump from US$23 to US$62 a barrel. One year turned into thirty. Singapore turned into the Far East, the Middle East, the North Sea and South America. The journey took him to the world's greatest opera houses and through England's and Ireland's finest fox hunting country. David Wilson rose, fell, and rose again. This is the story.

Industry Reviews

"Never Fear the Spills is an autobiography of a highly skilled professional engineer from Dalby, Queensland. His life's accomplishments in the fossil fuel industry reveals an intriguing story. We are also introduced into the world of fox and hound hunting, attending opera, skiiing the slopes of the French Alps, while enjoying the company of warm and welcoming friends and so much more. David Wilson has produced an autobiography which makes fascinating reading. "

-Kenneth Price, author of Kokoda Mist

"Many life lessons are imparted in David Wilson's epic account. David has travelled the world as an engineer installing pipelines across sea floors where many contingencies can happen. Snippets of dry humour add to the read.It is refreshing to read of a life well lived."

- Judith Flitcroft, author of Walk Back in Time
