International Energy Expertise
Our experience in international energy markets commenced at the time our firm's Founding Partner, Bill Gottfried, served as a U.S. Naval Officer in the Middle East where he was responsible for managing petroleum shipments and refined product tanker scheduling of 300,000 b/d in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iran, and Yemen for the Department of Defense.
We have worked in the most prolific hydrocarbon basins in the world on a variety of joint venture development, project financing, and executive search and recruiting assignments for leading energy companies. We have supported oil and gas development projects in North and South America, Europe, Russia, Central Asia, the Caspian Basin, the Arabian Gulf, and Australia.
We pioneered the utilization of executive search services in the Russian Federation, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan during the collapse of the Soviet Union. We supported many of the first oil and gas joint ventures that were established in Russia, Central Asia, and the Caspian Basin during and following the collapse of the Soviet Union.
We have worked with large integrated/international energy companies, with National Oil Companies, with independent exploration and production companies, and with refining and marketing companies in the U.S. and international markets.
