Due to the fact that I commenced my career working for EPC type companies specialized in providing systems and services to oil , gas and petrochemicals I quickly gained familiarity with reading and analyzing specifications , responding to RFP’s, verifying adherence to standards and certifications , managing procurement issues and eventually the sum total – managing the project .

Clients for whom I have managed projects for include BP Australia , Caltex Australia , Kellogg-JGC-Raymond , Woodside Offshore Petroleum , Shell Malaysia Berhad , Singapore Petroleum , Singapore Petrochemical Complex , Bharat Petroleum , Maharashtra Gas Cracker Complex , Monsanto , Great Union Chemical Corp – Taiwan , Lucky Polychemicals – Korea , to name a few.

As I moved up the ladder , heading the MIS functions at major oil companies I was involved in analyzing the business processes and information requirements of each and every department in order to provide effective solutions for each .

Therefore, I came to learn in great detail about:

Oil and gas procurement and materials management
Production sharing contracts ( PSC )
Joint Operating Bodies ( JOB )
Oil and gas accounting systems and practices
Farm – in and Farm – out agreements
Basin economics and reserves
Reservoir engineering
Acreage Relinquishment
Central Govt and Regional Govt agency interaction
Compensation and Conflict Resolution
Accident / Incident management
Health and Safety issues

In summary , the combination of technical work done over years , combined with the management experience garnered over working for the well known and professionally run oil companies has equipped me for this role very well.
