End-to-end responsibility for the effective planning, coordination and monitoring of operational activities (both geological and data-driven) to ensure efficient data integration and effective business plan management. Ensure contracts and expectations are managed and delivered on time.Review, manage and alter wells' design, placement, and evaluation to meet intended objectives.Perform necessary data analysis of operational performance to present, report and communicate to C-level suite and senior management.

London, United Kingdom

Developed strategic business plans and project mapping to assist organisations in meeting objectives and goals, including grant approvals.Acted as a liaison point between internal departments of the Oil & Gas Authority and regulatory or statutory bodies to facilitate smooth communications with operators throughout regulatory approval application processes.Provided guidance and advice to relevant organisations and operators regarding the regulatory life cycle of projects.Analysed customer project plans, assessed feasibility, identified project risks and re-defined as appropriate.

Port Moresby

Supervised, managed, and mentored 50 geologists and geophysicists across technical work programs.Ensured project scopes, timelines, budgets and quality assurance goals were met.Advised and supported senior management team regarding new ventures and commercial group decisions.

Perth, Australia

Performed appraisals, development and exploration reviews, carbon capture and storage well activities. Liaised with relevant representatives internally and externally across drilling and service contractors.Supervised operations and prepared pre-and post-well analysis as required.

South Korea And Australia

Led offshore subsurface team to successfully drill the deepest well in South Korean history, without any lost time or HSE incidents and no environmental harm. Wellsite Geologist for Woodside Energy on numerous offshore wells in the Carnarvon Basin and Browse Basin (Western Australia).Well Types: Exploration Appraisal, Development, and Exploration HPHT Wildcat wells.

Mozambique

Worked on 2 major discovery deep water Wildcat Exploration wells.One of these discoveries (Lagosta-1) was ranked in the top 10 oil and gas discoveries for 2010. Lagosta-1 encountered more than 550 feet of natural gas pay.Led the offshore subsurface team and increased gas reserve volumes by 15%-20%.

Australia

Led onshore and offshore subsurface team and added over 4,000 units of bbl/day to production, increasing revenue by 10%-20% over five years.Communicated and coordinated geological operations and ensured that the geological objectives of the well were met; supervised key third party contractor service personnel; provided input into planning workshops and development of detailed operations plans; liaised between the drilling, subsurface and wellsite teams.

Australia

Projects worked in this period include wildcat exploration wells in fractured carbonate reservoirs, geosteered development wells in the deep-water Pluto field.Led offshore subsurface team to increase gas reserve volumes by >10%.

Australia

Led offshore subsurface team to become the quickest major global energy LNG project to be developed at the time, from initial discovery to production.

Australia

Led offshore subsurface team to increase gas reserve volumes by 10%-15%, resulting in the increase of area’s field life by >7.5 years.Led the subsurface team during drilling operations for a near field wildcat HPHT exploration well and identification of pressure ramps allowed the operator to successfully drill to TD and reach the planned targets.

Angola

Trained and mentored national Wellsite Geologists, resulting in annual wage cost savings >$2 million.Led offshore subsurface team that drilled numerous deep water development wells.
