Of note are 10+ years of working paralic systems across NW Borneo and Niger Delta and 20+ years of experience exploring deep-water depositional systems, deep-water fold belts and hunting for subtle stratigraphic traps. Principal deepwater focus areas are NW Borneo and West Sulawesi, the Niger Delta, Atlantic margin of Africa, Eastern Mediterranean, Equatorial South America, South Atlantic pre-salt plays, and East Canada.
