About David Clarke

I have extensive project management and operations experience in the energy industry. In my most recent role I led a multi discipline team of around 30 project, subsurface, drilling, environmental, regulatory, safety and operations engineers plus finance, on the front end evaluation of a very complex $4 billion program, which had multiple projects and phases. I have managed short and long term strategic planning initiatives; led multiple performance improvement reviews; and have a track record of developing innovative solutions to unlock uncompetitive developments. One project which I led won a BP Chairman’s Innovation award for a number of bold innovative technical and commercial ideas that allowed what was originally a sub marginal project to achieve commercial and technical success. I am very familiar with the challenges of managing major projects having worked on some of the largest and most complex projects in the US and internationally. I also have extensive experience working with multiple stakeholders (internal company functions, regulatory agencies, partners and 3rd party operators) and with various engineering companies. I have made numerous technical and financial presentations to C-suite executive management, corporate review teams and government agencies. I am a highly motivated leader who excels in problem solving and facilitating diverse teams to excel and to arrive at good business decisions. I have a strong work ethic, am an excellent team player and have strong communication skills enhanced by an ability to illustrate, organize and present technical information. Specialties: General Management, Business Operations, Finance and Planning, Corporate Development, Strategy and Analysis, Negotiations, Metrics and Reporting, Technology Evaluations, Front End Loading for Onshore and Offshore Oil & Gas Projects, Project Management, Team Building, Content Delivery, Change Management.
