He is a graduate from the Mining University of Leoben, Austria and started his career as a seismic data processing geophysicist and then worked predominantly on international exploration and development projects and assignments in Austria, Libya, Bulgaria, UK, Australia and Pakistan as Exploration and Reservoir Manager for OMV. In 2005 Paul started his own petroleum consultancy working on projects in Romania and as Vice President for Focus Energy, leading their highly successful exploration and development campaign in Western India.
