Company Profile Earth and Planetary Exploration Services (EPX) was formed in 1999. The company delivers niche geological services to the oil industry and performs research within earth and planetary sciences. Oil industry services are aimed at commercial application of cutting edge science in exploration and production activities. Speciality fields include interpretation of isotope- and trace element data on sediments and pore fluids, aimed at understanding sediment source areas, paleogeography, depositional models, diagenesis, reservoir correlation, and basin- and field wide fluid flow. EPX also delivers expert services on volcanic margin and volcanic ocean island geology, as well as regional geology in the Atlantic Margin, Barents Sea and Indian Ocean. Current research projects include "large igneous provinces" and volcanic ocean islands in the Atlantic and Indian Ocean, and terrestrial analogs to martian geology. EPX is networked with earth- and planetary science experts and research institutions throughout the world, and can facilitate state of the art advice on a wide range of geological problems. Earth and Planetary Exploration Services is registered in Norway (no. 981 199 200), with office at Jac Aalls Gt 44B, N-0364 Oslo, Norway. Tel: (47) 900 439 76, fax: (47) 962 939 93. |

During his university career Hans gained extensive experience within volcanology, petrology, isotope geochemistry and fluid inclusion studies. From 1992 to 1996 he worked with sedimentology and reservoir evaluation in Norway, Russia, Algeria, USA, Polen and Egypt, followed by exploration activities and regional geology on the Atlantic Margin (Norway, Greenland, Faroe Islands) and in the Barents Sea until present. In particular Hans has played a key role in developing Neodymium Isotope Stratigraphy as a tool for reservoir characterization and paleogeographic reconstructions, as leader for a joint industry R&D project facilitated by NPD from 1995 to 1999. In addition he has worked on development and application of geochemical tools aimed at understanding the origin and distribution of chlorite-coated reservoir sands.
