A View from the Chief Geologist’s Office Window
Carlotta B. Chernoff
Over a more than 20-year career with ConocoPhillips, Global Chief Geologist, Dr. Carlotta Chernoff, has had the privilege to work on a wide variety of subsurface projects across a number of different basins. Along the way, she has learned essential lessons about the importance of Geoscience in helping ensure good business decisions for projects across the E&P lifecycle. Key among those learnings are the value of carrying multiple working hypotheses, the importance of partnering across disciplinary boundaries to create integrated solutions and the ability to tell a good story. She will share some examples from her career that illustrate why Geoscientists need to be prepared for the rocks to yield surprises, the value of a simple cartoon to communicate complex concepts and why you are never too old (or too experienced!) to learn something new.
