Our Australasian Experience

Abel Thomas-Hy holds a Bachelor of Petroleum Engineering from the University of Adelaide, Australia. 

Abel joined ERC Equipoise in the Perth office in 2021, after an internship in the Singapore office in 2019. 

As a Reservoir Engineer his role includes resource assessment, production forecasting, dynamic reservoir simulation and field development support. 

During his internship, Abel focused on the coal bed methane resources of Australia. Previous work includes the assessment of EOR potential in heavy oil fields as part of his honours research. 

He is comfortable using Reservoir Engineering tools such as tNavigator, Eclipse, Harmony, GAP and Prosper. 

Before joining ERCE, Amirah was a Reservoir Engineer at PETRONAS with over 12 years of experience. She has worked on multiple projects focused on the development of both green and brown fields, gained extensive exposure to production operations and surveillance. She has a robust foundation in various aspects of reservoir engineering, including fundamental of rock properties and fluid behaviour, integrated reservoir characterisation, reservoir performance analysis, depletion strategy and drive mechanism, reserves and resources estimation, as well as analytical and numerical simulation. Additionally, Amirah has led significant techno-commercial evaluations, ensuring projects met economic thresholds and exploring ways to maximise returns from a perspective of a reservoir engineer.

Amirah holds a BSc in Petroleum Engineering from the University of Alberta, Canada, and an MSc in Petroleum Engineering from Imperial College London. She was awarded the Chevening Scholarship in 2020.

Martin is a principal geophysicist with over 23 years of experience in oil and gas, developing a diverse skill set across various roles. His expertise spans reservoir geophysics, seismic interpretation, prospect generation and maturation, as well as data science and AI, allowing him to contribute to significant projects in Australia and across the Asia-Pacific region.

Martin was previously Strategic Business Manager at Woodside Energy supporting Australian and International Assets for Digital, IT and Technological solutions. Additionally, Martin has been Australian Exploration Manager and also Asia-Pacific New Ventures Manager. Through these roles Martin has significant experience in permitting within Australia and Production Sharing Contracts across Asia-Pacific region, as well as Joint Operating Agreements and associated Joint Venture Management.
