Anthony Huston

Mr. Huston has been involved for over 40 years in the engineering and hydrocarbon industries for both on and offshore exploration/development. His early career experience commenced with Fitzroy Engineering Ltd, primarily working on the development of onshore oil fields. During the 1990s Mr. Huston managed JFP NZ International, a Texas-based exploration company that included a Jack Up rig operating in NZ waters.

In 1994, Mr. Huston oversaw the environmental consent process required to drill a near-inshore well that was drilled from “land” into the offshore basin during 1995.

In 1996, Mr. Huston formed his own E&P Company to focus on re-entry of onshore wells, primarily targeting shallow pay that had been passed or ignored from previous operations. This was successful and the two plays that opened 20 years ago are still in operation. The recent focus (12 years) has been to utilize new technology for enhanced resource recovery and has been demonstrated in various fields, including the US, Mexico, Oman, Italy, and Turkmenistan.
