Over the past twenty years Susannah has held both Exploration Geophysicist and Development Geophysicist roles and has been involved in multiple interpretation and mapping projects primarily in Australia including Cooper Basin, Perth Basin and Northern Canarvon Basin. She has broad geoscience experience and has experience in all phases of oil and gas exploration with Chevron, Cooper Energy, Arc Energy and Santos. This includes gravity, magnetic and seismic geophysical survey acquisition, processing, interpretation and static modelling for both exploration and development projects. She has evaluated and risked multiple exploration prospects as well as worked up detailed, multi-well field development plans and infill well projects. Susannah has particular expertise in structural seismic interpretation and has built several structural framework models using the Petrel software.

Kathe has more than 20 years’ experience in the oil and gas industry, gained while working for major operators and service companies across the Asia Pacific region. These include Schlumberger, Chevron, Woodside and BHP. She has extensive experience in integrated field development and management, focusing on reservoir characterisation, static modelling, in-place volume assessment, uncertainty assessment, field development planning and well planning / execution. Whilst being an expert in static modelling, Kathe has well-developed complimentary skills in petrophysics, geophysics, reservoir engineering and drilling & completions, and has taught both software and theory courses to hundreds of oil and gas professionals across the Asia Pacific area.

Having worked on a wide variety of small and large projects partnering with companies such as Exxon, Shell, BP, Mitsui, Chevron, Woodside and BHP, Kathe also has accomplished stakeholder and project management skills, ensuring positive outcomes and on-time delivery. Kathe has had the opportunity to live and work around the globe during her energy career and enjoys working with colleagues and clients of diverse cultural and personal backgrounds.

Aizat started his career in 2010 as a Petroleum Engineer in PETRONAS, conducting reservoir surveillance for a number of operated and non-operated PETRONAS blocks. In 2013, he joined the Enhanced Oil Recovery Centre (EORC), a joint venture unit between Shell and PETRONAS Carigali Sdn. Bhd. as a Reservoir Engineer. He built and completed the subsurface models utilised for the asset Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) development planning and ultimately delivered the Field Development Plan for a Baram Delta EOR field.

In mid-2015, he joined Sarawak Oil Resource Development within PETRONAS, working on other Baram Delta Operations projects and managed to further increase reserves through a number of infill opportunities. From end of 2017 to March 2021, he was the Reservoir Engineer for PETRONAS Carigali Iraq Holdings B.V. working on a large onshore carbonate field balancing on day-to-day surveillance of more than 80 producing wells and development planning & project execution such as infill drilling opportunities and waterflood project in order to achieve the DPSC objective of meeting the Production Plateau Target (PPT). During his tenure in Iraq, Aizat had consistently delivered value adding production optimisation and reserves addition proposals by integrating various technical and commercial aspects within his proposals.

Aizat has also been heavily involved in Reserves and Resource evaluation on all of the teams he has been a part of. He is a proficient user of various modelling and simulation software with experience in building fit for purpose subsurface models for various purposes such as EOR, water injection and infill drilling. He also has delivered various Field Development Plans ranging from complex EOR projects to infill projects. Having the knowledge and skillsets of delivering projects in an integrated manner allows Aizat to approach problems in an efficient manner ensuring that solutions is tied to the objective of the projects.

Aizat holds a BSc degree in Petroleum Engineering from Colorado School of Mines.
