Welcome & Introduction



David Bamford is well known around the oil & gas industry both as an explorer and a geophysicist. He holds a Physics degree from the University of Bristol and a Ph.D in Geological Sciences from the University of Birmingham.

Since 2004, he has been a non-executive director at Tullow Oil plc, being recruited for this position especially for his exploration knowledge. He serves on the Nominations and Remuneration Committees, and was chairman of the latter, and Senior Independent Director, for 3 years prior to his retire from the board at the end of April 2014.

He was on the board of Premier Oil from May 2014 to May 2016.

He retired from BP plc in 2003, his last four positions being Chief Geophysicist (1990-1995), Business Unit Leader (General Manager) for first West Africa and then Norway (1995-1999), and finally Head of Exploration until 2003.

He has served on the boards of Paras Ltd, a small exploration and IS/IT consulting company in which he held 22% equity, until its sale to RPS Energy in 2008 and Welltec a/s, a Danish well engineering company, as the nominee of the private equity investor Riverside.

From 2012 to 201 he was on the board of ASX-quoted Australia Oriental Energy as a non-executive director.

He was a founder of Richmond Energy Partners, a small oil & gas research house, and several media companies that focus on the oil & gas sector, and has served as an advisor to Alliance Bernstein, Opus Executive, the Parkmead Group plc, and Kimmeridge Energy LLP. Since retiring from BP, he has undertaken asset and company valuation projects for investment banks, hedge funds and small oil companies.

How to move beyond Hollywood when it comes to Climate Change!


Watch Video   
Talk Description
I would like to challenge the narrative around climate change and the role of the fossil fuel industry in climate change mitigation.
We have grown up on a narrative of Hollywood 'good guys' and 'bad guys'; the fossil fuel industry being placed squarely in the 'bad guy' camp and renewable energy in the 'good guy' camp.
The change from fossil fuels to renewables is woefully slow.
But we have also grown up on Hollywood scripts where someone rides in to save the day at the very last moment.
We live in the real world; it's the only world we have got to live on and we need to get real. Here is how and why I believe CCS is vital in the real world narrative….
I am an Upstream Oil & Gas professional, starting my career as a wellsite petroleum and reservoir engineer. From a VP of Shell Capital at start-up, Value Based Management champion, I lead Upstream Commercial projects, including global acquisitions and swaps. I was Shell Lead of the Peterhead Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) Project from UK DECC Bid to Front End Design Phase.
