Gil Machado holds a degree in Geology and a European Doctorate (PhD) in Stratigraphy and Petroleum Geology and has ca. 10 years of experience in the Oil & Gas industry, in exploration projects of Oman, Mozambique, Brazil, Angola, Guinea-Bissau, Senegal, Gabon, Morocco, and other Atlantic basins. He is an advanced seismic interpreter, including sediment fairways identification, deep water sedimentation characterization, sequence stratigraphy and prospect generation and risking. He has worked extensively with well correlation, biostratigraphy, regional prospectivity studies and has managed teams and projects in multiple cultural environments. He has mentored and supervised BSc and MSc students, young professionals and taught several short courses and lectures on these subjects. As part of his career, he worked at Petroleum Development Oman as a Stratigrapher where he was responsible for the Precambrian and Lower Palaeozoic stratigraphy studies and for the scientific management of the palynology laboratory of the company. He followed multiple wells as operational stratigrapher providing real time advice to the well geologists for casing points, TD calls, etc. He also contributed to the biostratigraphic zonation review of the subsurface of Oman. He is affiliated with the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers, the PESGB and founder and member of the Portuguese Association of Geoscientists and Engineers. Gil Machado is currently heading a geological consulting company - Chronosurveys - providing services and training in Stratigraphy, source rock evaluation, Petroleum Geology.

He started his career with Beicip-Franlab and pursued with Statoil in which he was involved in EXP R&D Basin Analysis, Carbonates & Evaporites, siliciclastics group, then moved to the Exploration Excellence department where he provided solution study supports for EXP and PROD. In 2018, he created Terra Geosciences and is involved into regional to local studies for Oil & Gas and New Energy.

Dominique has 20 years of HSE experience in the Oil and Gas industry, with a Master in Environmental Management. Passionate about Mining and Environmental regulations, she has been involved in Decommissioning cases for several years and is interested in both documentary and historical research about the site and in identifying solutions in line with the environmental constraints.

After a degree in Geosciences, Daniel spent more than 30 years in France and abroad in companies providing services to oil and gas wells. Trained at the University of Aberdeen in Well Plugging and Abandonment, he is interested in all the technical, economic and regulatory constraints that govern well abandonment.

A passionate Geologist and Sedimentologist with a multidisciplinary knowledge from large scale basin geology to detailed heterogeneity modelling. Geoffray is a field geologist with a strong background in clastic environment, especially fluvial and coastal environments, ichnology, core / outcrop descriptions and sedimentary characterization. He has work as consultant for oil industry for 10 years. During this training, he will share his knowledge on geo-resources and reservoir characterization.
