Exploration Manager: Managed a high performing Exploration team offshore Sakhalin (Sak-V, Sak-IV), in close collaboration with Rosneft-SMNG. This included several field geology mapping campaigns as well as acquiring/processing/interpreting BP's largest offshore 3D seismic survey to date (acquired in 2002). The interpretation consisted in integrating regional play analysis, high-grading leads and maturing prospects to drillable status. This effort culminated in Pela Lache discovery (~250 MMBOE) drilled in 2003.New Business ventures Manager:Led entry projects for E&P around Sakhalin (Sak-III, other projects) Show less
