Naresh Kumar obtained
a Ph.D. in geology from Columbia University, New York. He served on the
faculty of the Lamont Earth Observatory of Columbia University and was
an instructor at Barnard College. He served in various
technical and managerial positions for ARCO in Dallas, Midland, Denver,
and Anchorage. His most recent assignments with ARCO were as the Exploration
Manager for the North Slope of Alaska, Worldwide Exploration Research
Manager, and Worldwide Development Geoscience Manager. During his career,
Naresh has been involved in the discovery of almost 400 million barrels
of oil. While in Alaska, he managed the development geoscience of almost
25% of U.S. daily production (more than 1.5 million barrels a day from
the North Slope fields). Naresh has published
more than sixty professional papers and has served as President of the
Alaska Geological Society. He received the Gordon Y. Billard Award
from the New York Academy of Sciences. He received the A. I. Levorsen
Award and served as Distinguished Lecturer for the American Association
of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG). He is also the Chairman for the Committee
on Resource Evaluation for the AAPG. Besides Alaska, Naresh
has carried out field and acreage evaluation domestically
in the Permian Basin, Anadarko Basin, and Powder River Basin. His international
experience includes Brazil, Venezuela, South China Sea, China, Russian
Far East, India and West Africa. Since founding Growth Oil and Gas more five years ago, Naresh has been consulting with the U.S. Geological Survey on the evaluation of hydrocarbon potential of the North Slope of Alaska. He was part of the team that assessed the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) in 1998, and is now part of the team evaluating the National Petroleum Reserve Alaska (NPRA) on the North Slope. |
