----------------------------------------------------

Andrew joined ExxonMobil’s affiliate Esso Australia in 1999 having graduated from the University of Melbourne with an Honours degree in Geology. His first job was as a Production Geologist working the Central Fields in the Gippsland Basin.  Shortly after starting, Andrew was transferred to an active drilling campaign in one of the largest fields in the Gippsland Basin. Currently, he is an Exploration Geologist in the Papua New Guinea Subsurface Team based at Southbank..

“In 2001, I was given the opportunity to transfer to our Exploration Headquarters in Houston, Texas. Over a four year period I worked on a number of different projects including frontier exploration in countries such as Madagascar, Senegal and Equatorial Guinea.  The skills and networks developed in Houston have become an invaluable part of the day-to-day aspects of being an exploration geologist regardless of geographical location or area of focus”.

"ExxonMobil have provided a fantastic start to my career. Everyday I work with engineers and other geoscientists who are more than willing to share their experiences and who equally value my contributions. The level of training offered is second to none and the vastness of such a truly global organisation provides for some amazing professional development opportunities, be it here in Melbourne or around the world”.
