Lucian provides assessments of the current producing, drilling and completion practices to validate a party's claims of upside and/or independently identify areas of upside by recommending improved operating practices and capital utilization, which can then be used in valuation modeling.  He has experience in taking new discoveries from a fast tracked early production operation through full field development including waterflood implementation and assesses reasonableness of proposed development planning from a cost, timing and execution perspective.  Alternate recommendations will be made where current practices can be improved delivering greater production reliability and efficiencies. Review of effectiveness of maintenance and mechanical integrity programs to quantify potential for upsets or downtime that could negatively impact property valuation.  Recommendations to mitigate potential problems will be provided.  Current custody transfer, allocation and measurement protocols will be evaluated and assessed for accuracy and adherence to standards.

Robert provides assessment of the different reserves categories (proved developed producing, proved undeveloped, resource play, etc) with upsides, and incorporating uncertainty range as needed.  Additionally, his experience to assess the infill programs and waterflood plans where appropriate. He has worked and led various water floods working in various projects ranging from peripheral to 5-spot patterns in reservoirs from 2012 - 2019.

Vanessa is a motivated reservoir engineer with 15 years of experience delivering value to E&P operators in the oil industry. Her experience spans a wide swath of the industry, from working as an MWD hand in the Gulf of Mexico, supervising onshore US production operations, to modeling waterflood optimization and development plans internationally. Vanessa has a proven record of managing projects from concept to completion, building relationships and coaching young professionals to success.

Her passion for sharing knowledge and expertise in waterfloods has been showcased in publications and webinars:

• SPE The Way Ahead Published Article – The Role of Surveillance Plots in Diagnosing Waterfloods

• EEGS SU SC InSite Published Article – Improving Waterflood Efficiency by Understanding Pressure Boundaries and Balancing Patterns

• Apache Technical Forum Presenter – The Effects of Longitudinal vs Transverse Hydraulic Fractures on Horizontal Wells in an Egyptian Waterflood Setting

• SPE Beirut Section Webinar – Waterflooding Overview

Beau provides assessments of the current drilling, completion and workover practices to evaluate seller’s proposed upside. I can independently identify areas of potential upside by recommending improved drilling practices and showing the impact of continuous improvement on well costs over time, which can then be used in reservoir economic modeling.  He utilizes recent, latest-technology US horizontal well and multi-pad drilling experience to evaluate economics and feasibility of implementing these techniques globally, given the length and breadth of my engineering and supervisory experience.  He also offer insights of working in a managerial role and achieving goals in a joint venture structure.  Recommendations for standardized, fit-for-purpose, well designs will be provided in order to simplify contracting and procurement and optimize well costs.    

Damian’s key focus is detailed and accurate 2D and 3D seismic data interpretation. He has strong international experience from working as the lead geophysicist on core E&P assets for majors and independents operating in a diverse range of sedimentary basins and tectonic regimes in Australia, New Zealand, India, Egypt, Argentina, Ghana, and Peru. Damian identified a new stratigraphic play concept on the North West Shelf, Australia, which contributed to Quadrant Energy’s world-class Dorado-1 discovery (450 MMBOE) in July 2018. Leading-edge software and technologies, including Petrel, are leveraged to optimise reservoir mapping and characterization, to delineate and promote E&P drilling opportunities to stakeholders. 

Pasquale has worked in many countries in varying capacities including country manager, seismic bird-dog, field geologist, acquisition specialist, negotiator and executive advisor. He started a geophysical acquisition and processing company in the Rocky Mountains that quickly became a huge success which was acquired in the 1990s. Pasquale's qualifications as a savvy negotiator and problem solver, particularly in remote unpredictable locations, are invaluable to a company seeking resolution of challenges whether on the ground or in the board room. 

​

Pasquale is a world-class explorer and adventurer having summited Mt. Everest twice as well as other peaks and in 2005 was the first person to navigate the entire 3,500 km length of the Nile River from the headwaters of the Blue Nile in Ethiopia to Alexandria, Egypt (an IMAX movie was made of this epic journey). He has his pilot license and flew in the Cairo to Cape Town rally in 2015. 

Mark provides reservoir description and volumetric assessments for various projects – ranging from exploration leads and prospects to field development plans.  He has broad experience with brownfield infill programs and waterflood planning in various types of reservoirs.  Log-based reservoir correlations and mapping are a core technical capability and he performs reservoir mapping on a variety of platforms.  He has significant experience with reservoir modeling in Petrel – having created fully populated reservoir models for fields in which he has served as the lead geologist in various settings worldwide.

Tom has had an eclectic career in the oil industry starting out in his teenage years working as a roustabout, floorhand on pulling units and as a pump repair person in an oilfield supply store.  These early work activities helped support his educational financial needs, but also guided him to focus his university education on the oil industry.  These experiences, along with serving in roles as a Production Geologist, Operations Geologist, Petrophysicist, Seismic Interpreter and 3D Reservoir modeler in basins around the world has allowed him to gain a broad and unique spectrum of insights into the subsurface that most don’t acquire.  With this diverse knowledge base, he has been able to provide holistic evaluations of the subsurface that yielded innovative and insightful interpretations that challenged conventional wisdom, led to many successful development programs, as well as saving a few programs that had faltered.  Just ask him, he is always happy to tell you about them.
