Simon has 11 years’ experience in petroleum industry consulting. He completed a M.Sc. in Micropalaeontology (London, 2004) that involved a long project on Paleocene-Eocene nannoplankton of the northwest Pacific. Simon has significant wellsite experience, having conducted wellsite micropalaeontology and nannopalaeontology on more than 20 Danish wells, and wellsite nannopalaeontology on numerous assignments in the UK Sector (~10 wells), Gulf of Mexico, offshore Newfoundland, Trinidad, East and West Africa, and the South China Sea.
