Expertise in all aspects of Regional, play and well-based studies (biostratigraphy, chemostratigraphy, isotopes, geochronology, Seismic-sequence stratigraphy; geochemistry, Play and GDE mapping). Prepare and conduct and assure integrated studies throughout the rock record and also modern-day surface samples and piston cores in support of offshore geotechnical, environmental baseline surveys, and geochemical “seep hunting” surveys.SME Isotopes and Chemostratigraphy. I apply and integrate all techniques available to provide multi-scale reservoir and seal evaluations for Production teams as well as frontier and heartland exploration opportunities globally. Expert in biostratigraphy and develop novel and innovative solutions (Astrochronology, Geochronology, Isotopes, source2sink workflows), engaging with the relevant external and internal thought leaders to champion basin analyses and maximize global impact across Exploration and Production. Coach and mentor to junior staff and interns. Projects: Western Black Sea, deep-water Nigeria; Wilcox and Norphlet Plays Gulf of Mexico; Campeche, Mexico-Guatemala-Honduras; South Atlantic Margins (Santos, Campos, Kwanza; Gabon, Congo, Namibia; Guyana-Suriname and equatorial Guinea); Oman; North Sea; offshore Myanmar and various others.
