About Stephen Verhardt

I have extensive experience in the commercial and joint venture fields of the oil and gas industry in North Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Australia, the United States and the Caribbean with customers and joint venture partners. I have engaged with host governments in the negotiation of production agreements where cultural awareness and sensitivity is required to enable a successful outcome. More recently I have been responsible for risk management in the Petroleum division of the Company where risk has been incorporated into the running of operations and investment evaluations. Identifying and facilitating the monitoring and management of risks and opportunities, to create value for stakeholders. This has included risk assessments of potential new ventures as well as existing operations, incorporation of risk management in investment and operational decisions as well as designing representations of the organization’s risk profile.
