I coordinate with Legal and the businesses to ensure that all contracts properly represent the company's financial and risk profile tolerances. I analyze evolving gas contracts, laws and regulations that govern or impact oil and gas exploration, development, production and transportation activities; ensure that businesses incorporate these insights into contracts and contracting strategies. I'm responsible for providing midstream due diligence support on exploration and production agreements related to a change in operatorship and/or acquisitions. I provide general gas contractual/commercial advice to business team members. I have strong experience negotiating complex terms and conditions, and incentives for contracts with the ability to anticipate, identify, and resolve complex contractual issues. Show less
