TGS hired me to tap into proprietary processing sales opportunities and recommend processing solutions based on specific client requirements. As part of my role, I co-ordinated and communicated client-specific, value-focussed service proposals. I also developed multi-client Australian and New Zealand re-processing projects, executing project costing and sales forecasting for management review. After developing project opportunities, I promoted the initiatives among medium to large exploration companies and secured pre-funding from clients.♦ Captured the company’s first proprietary processing contract in New Zealand valued at AUD$330K through effectively presenting TGS products and services, supplanting a well-known competitor.♦ Designed TGS’ first regional information workshop (TGS Inforum 2014) attended by asset and exploration managers, which generated leads for 3 prospective multi-client dataset sales and 2 leads for prospective sale of geological interpretation products.♦ Expanded mid-level and non-Perth-based clients, adding 3 new clients, by cultivating relationships via cold calling contacts from prior roles and co-ordinating on-site visits to demo products and services. ♦ Achieved 1/3 of the annual sales target (AUD$1.0M) within the first 6 months of hire by ensuring value-added products and services that aligned with client needs.

During this period, I was brought on board to develop and implement workflows for the internal geoscience community along with communicating improved petrophysical analysis techniques to the exploration team. My scope of duties included optimising interpretation and modelling applications for geoscientists; colleagues looked to me as a primary resource for applications issue resolution as well. Additionally, I maintained the service company relationship to ensure best-in-class software solutions. During my tenure, I was also appointed regional petrophysics applications advisor and provided assistance to internal support staff in Australia, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia.♦ Enabled an efficient and user-friendly petrophysical application by leading an internal software update which boosted product usage and served as a costing basis for the future incorporation of utility into company workflows along with rationalising on-going software maintenance.♦ Elevated the utilisation of a complex rock physics application by authoring a user-friendly, intuitive workflow manual.♦ Ensured database integrity by working with a modelling application company to deliver Hess-specific data-loading procedures.
