GENERAL INTRODUCTIONS

▪ Conversation, Format & Why The Geological Time Scale? ▪ Before the Beginning – A Basement Complex of Life (My Pre Cambrian Setting) ▪ The Cambrian Ordovician – Pioneer NYSC ▪ A Paleozoic Time Setting – 1st Shell BP Working Experience ▪ The Mezozoic Equivalent – IC Post Graduate Education

THE TERTIARY BUILD OUT (TRANSGRESSIVE)

▪ The 2nd Employment @ SPDC (Paleocene) ▪ Geotrex Systems (Eocene) ▪ ND Phase 1 (Oligo-Miocene) ▪ ND Phase 2 (Piocene) ▪ Late Tertiary/Early Quaternary – ND Phase 3 (Pleistocene)

THE FUTURE CENE – ND Phase 4 and Beyond

▪ Appreciations For A Professionally Fulfilling Journey….

Questions & Observations

❖ Where is Today’s Nigerian Oil & Gas Training Domain?........Is it FUPRE? ❖ R&D – still missing Sadly. No Nation or Industry develops without this ❖ The Nigerian Content Management Board to the Rescue ❖ There is space to compel emerging Nigerian Independents to be the regenerating arrow head –

It will not be another 40 or even 70 years that I will have the opportunity of standing & addressing an audience of this nature. However, these past 40+ years had been traumatic, engaging, rewarding and above all professionally fulfilling
