About Martin Long

20 plus years of both onshore and offshore experience in the oil and gas industry, including field development, geomodeling, regional exploration, prospect maturation, appraisal, field development, operations and project management.Expertise in-Salt tectonics and salt influenced sedimentary deposition-Regional and prospect specific 2D/3D seismic interpretation, map generation, volumetrics, risking, well log correlation-Data integration in a cross-disciplinary team to develop various structual and depostional models-Coordination projects requiring alignment of multiple disciplines for subsurface evaluation and stakeholder engagement-Petrel, Landmark Decision Space, Geox-Passion for mentoring, supervising, coordination projects as well as participation in employee/community enrichment programs.I am passionate about geology, and have had the pleasure to work in the oil and gas industry since 2001. I am fascinated by the challenges searching for hydrocarbons brings and enjoy approaching these challenges with new ideas or different perspectives in order to solve a complex problem. Along the way I have had an opportunity to learn a great deal from exploration to production and everything in between. I look forward to tackling new challenges every day and consider myself lucky to be in this profession.A brief history of my experience: Currently working at Ecopetrol America Inc, Gulf of America Offshore Field Development. I am the lead geoscientis, managing the Gunflint Field Development. Previously, I worked in the Exploration Team, providing regional interpretation using the latest technology and datasets to identify and evaluate prospectivity through lease sales, capture, reprocessing and maturing towards drilling. I also have explored in the Salinas Basin offshore Mexico. At Statoil, I worked in the Regional Exploration Team, Prospect Maturation Team and the Wells and Appraisal Team. My experience covers reservoirs from Miocene, Paleogene and Jurassic Norphlet. While at BP, I completed the new hire training program, providing experience within production, appraisal and exploration. I worked in many roles including as an exploration geologist covering Walker Ridge, as well as the outer shelf South Additions (Deep Gas). I worked as an operations geologist in Southern Wyoming, Wamsutter field and learned a lot about drilling onshore (managed 7 rigs). I also worked at Thunder Horse. Lastly, I did extensive interpretation to better understand pressure and aquifer support for a producing field known as Marlin.
