I am an experienced geologist with experience in both clastic and carbonate reservoirs from around the world. I am one of the carbon storage stewardship leads with the NSTA, after working several years in industry for a major operator and consultancies. I have worked on a wide variety of fields from Middle Eastern carbonates to North Sea turbidite, fluvial and chalk reservoirs and am enjoying applying my experience to the challengeof carbon dioxide storage. My strengths are subsurface description, looking beyond the obvious and asking questions. I am a highly effective coach and get a buzz out of seeing other geologists develop and thrive. In a previous life I was a sedimentologist and have worked on many of the world's giant carbonate fields.
