I orchestrated the Major Project Dvalin, a pivotal initiative aligned with the company's IPO objectives, leading to my elevation to an N-1 position, where I reported directly to the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and joined the top 30 senior leadership team. I managed WintershallDea's first HPHT (High Pressure-High Temperature) subsea gas field development project, located at a depth of 420 meters. I directed a project team comprising 60 direct members and approximately 1,000 third-party personnel, overseeing a project burn rate of around €1 million per day during 2019 and 2020.* Managed total investment of €1.1B, overseeing approximately 100 million barrels of 2P reserves and achieving plateau production of 50K boepd, providing heat for over 2M homes.* Managed successful development of Norwegian Dvalin gas field, delivering on-time, within budget, and in scope despite challenges from two mergers, an integration project, and pandemic.* Oversaw QHSE performance during 2.5M man-hours without any recordable incidents throughout project execution, ensuring a safe working environment for all team members.* Ring-fenced project during two mergers and post-merger integration phases, safeguarding resources and focus amid organizational changes.* Navigated challenges during COVID-19 outbreak in 2020, overcoming offshore manning reductions, social distancing, and travel restrictions to deliver project just five weeks past initial P50 schedule.* Facilitated successful handover to operations team in Q1 2021 by ensuring operational readiness and transferring lessons learned and best practices for future projects.

I oversaw technical responsibilities for DEA Norge's operating and partner-operated business, managing about 70 exploration and production licenses and 54,000 boepd. I led the transformation from a non-operating to an operating company during the post-merger integration of DEA Norge and E.ON E&P Norge in 2016/2017. I directed the Due Diligence Team for the merger with Wintershall Norge in 2018, reporting to the Managing Director of DEA Norge AS. I managed a department of around 85 technical professionals and held a drilling CAPEX responsibility of approximately €30 million annually for exploration drilling. I was holding execution responsibility for the Dvalin development project. Collaborating with my merger counterpart, I helped create a new organizational matrix for Wintershall Dea AG and prepared the interface between technical functions and headquarters to enhance operational efficiency and communication.* Established and supervised due diligence team during merger phase of DEA and Wintershall Norge, achieving excellent on-time delivery for portfolio targeting total production potential of around 200K boepd.* Managed downsizing of technical core team by approximately 60% due to merger between DEA Norge and E.ON E&P in 2016, ensuring smooth transition and minimal disruption.* Introduced new matrix organization model, successfully implementing it within six months and integrating around 15 expats to enhance operational capabilities.* Unified diverse local and expat teams into one cohesive unit, ensuring that new arrivals in early 2017 perceived no post-merger issues.* Restructured Dvalin project organization in early 2017 following loss of nearly entire team due to office relocation from Oslo to Stavanger.* Oversaw successful submission of Dvalin plan for development and operation (PDO) during restructuring phase, including comprehensive license restructuring around final investment decision (FID).

I oversaw Mittelplate, Germany's largest oilfield, which accounts for over 50% of the nation’s oil production and is located within the UNESCO World Heritage National Park Wattenmeer. In this role, I managed both offshore oil production and the onshore Dieksand processing facilities, overseeing seven extended-reach wells that exceed 9,000 meters in depth. I directed a dedicated team of 100 onshore and 120 offshore personnel, reporting directly to the Senior Vice President of Production in Europe. Additionally, I handled capital expenditures of approximately €70 million per year, operating expenses of around €40 million annually, and held profit and loss responsibility exceeding €400 million annually.• Established Achieved exceptional QHSE performance with zero spills in the production area for over five years, successfully trending toward zero lost-time incidents (LTIs).• Maintained production at a consistent plateau of 8.7-8.8M boe/a from 2011 to 2016 by implementing a multilateral field development concept and reducing unplanned shutdowns to under 12 hours annually.• Optimized artificial lifting operations, achieving a mean time to failure of installed electric submersible pumps (ESPs) at 4.8 years.• Secured operational readiness and established an emergency response organization in compliance with new EU offshore directives implemented in German legislation as of July 2015.• Championed construction of a new onshore supply base in Cuxhaven, Germany, introducing a digital warehousing and logistics system while initiating fleet modifications and electrification, reducing diesel consumption by over 30% and NOx emissions by more than 60%.
