Background

About Chris Townsend

I am a highly energetic professional of the Energy Industry with 19 years of experience in the natural gas field. The past 8 years were spent gaining experience with one of the premier independent Exploration and Production companies in the world, Anadarko Petroleum Corporation. I developed strong skills and expertise at Anadarko working in their Gas Marketing Department, specifically in their Midstream Asset group. HIGHLIGHTED EXPERIENCE INCLUDES: Gathering Systems Operations Gas Plant Operations Gas Control Gas Nominations Gas Measurement Plant Imbalances Producer Imbalances Pipeline Imbalances Pipeline Operational Balancing Agreements; OBA's Gas Confirmations Gas Plant Accounting This experience, when combined with my 7+ years in gas scheduling, has provided a very strong foundation in understanding the gas flow process from the well head all the way down the mainline pipelines. My experience has ensured that company objectives were always met when managing the disposition of the gas product. Whether thru a gathering system, across a processing plant or into a downstream pipeline, I always worked to optimize the transport and movement of the gas. These successes were noted year after year in performance evaluations as well as other verbal and written accolades. Along the way I have continued my knowledge and understanding of the business by being fortunate to work with many talented people in gas trading, gas liquids, upstream, marketing accounting, revenue accounting and business development. I truly enjoy collaborating with other departments and learning about the different aspects of their business. I believe this is one reason I have so many strong references from my peers. Prior to all the experience I gained at Anadarko, I worked at other leading companies in the energy industry including Xcel Energy and Western Gas Resources.
