Reservoir characterisation of deltaic systems. Developing sedimentary and stratigraphic models of Tilje Fm. in the Norwegian Sea.

Heidrun production geology. Lead geologist. Reservoir modelling, well planning, operational activities, offshore work on drilling production well, work on well interpretation and data bases. Geological support on production optimasation, geological input to history matcing of simulation models, IOR co-ordination, development of Field Long term plans. Commersial activities, Subsurface manager for Heidrun Redetermination. In depth knowledge of Heidrun Båt and Fangst Group reservoirs. Responisble for revising Heidrun Åre Fm. stratigraphy.

Halten area geologist. Specialist in Geology. Suppporting geological advice to regional projectrs, and modelling activities in Norwegiuan sea main fields. Responsible for arranging internal classroom courses and field course/work activities (Greenland, USA).

Halten Growth Exploration project. Working on revitalizing exploration potential in Southern Norwegian Sea. Main areas: Frøya, Froan, Trøndelag platform. Cretacous, Upper Jurassic, Mid-Jurassic Triassic and Permian.
