MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Alex is a Research Science Associate in the Gulf Coast Carbon Center. His current work focusses on the application of petroleum exploration processes to the problem of finding, de-risking and developing geologic storage sites for CO₂. Prior to joining the BEG, he spent 16 years in global exploration with BP, including roles as an Advisor and as Head of Discipline for Structural Geology and Tectonics. In his time with BP, he worked over 50 basins on 5 continents and wrote and delivered over 100 courses in exploration, structural geology and tectonics. He holds a BA in Physics from Williams College and a PhD in Structural Geology and Tectonics from the University of Arizona. Outside of work, he is a triathlete by day, a woodworker by night, a dad always and a caffeine fan by necessity.

CONTINUING EDUCATION INFORMATION

This program is aimed at subsurface oil and gas professionals and first-level leaders who would like to develop their skills for use in the energy transition, specifically in the emerging industry of carbon capture and geologic storage (CCS), such as:

• Geologists, geophysicists, reservoir engineers and other technical subsurface O&G professionals
• First-level leaders and others tasked with developing and/or assuring geologic storage for CCS projects
• Recent graduates in petroleum geoscience and reservoir engineering
