About Christopher Althoff

As a seasoned Exploration geologist I bring over 16 years of experience in the oil and gas industry, focusing on both conventional and unconventional prospecting in Oklahoma and Kansas. My role has centered on identifying, evaluating, and driving high-value geologic prospects from initial mapping to successful drilling of wells with industry partners. I leverage both technical expertise and project management skills to streamline the exploration process. Key Areas of Expertise: • Conventional & Unconventional Prospecting: Skilled in generating and evaluating prospects across multiple basins, with specialized knowledge of both conventional and unconventional reservoirs in Oklahoma and Kansas. I apply a blend of structural, stratigraphic, and sedimentological analysis to develop comprehensive regional geological models that maximize resource potential. • Geologic Mapping & Data Integration: Proficient in advanced geologic mapping and data integration techniques, using industry-standard software (Petra, ArcGIS, Kingdom) to create accurate, detailed maps and models. This involves integrating seismic, well log, and core sample data to build a complete picture of subsurface potential and risk. • Project Management & Collaboration: Experienced in managing end-to-end prospect generation projects, overseeing timelines, budgets, and deliverables. I work closely with cross-functional teams and stakeholders to ensure project alignment, adapt to evolving priorities, and maintain high standards for project execution. • Vendor Selection & Relationship Management: Knowledgeable in selecting and managing vendors to support prospecting activities, including seismic data acquisition, data management, and technical services. I negotiate vendor contracts, coordinate their contributions, and ensure service quality aligns with project objectives. • Sales Support & Technical Communication: Collaborate with business development teams to prepare and present prospect packages to potential buyers. My goal is to clearly convey the technical data and economic potential of each project to attract interest, facilitate transactions, and drive profitable sales. Professional Highlights & Achievements: • Successful Prospect Generation: Generated multiple high-value prospects across Oklahoma and Kansas, transacting on over 50 MM dollars in acquisitions and sales of oil and gas properties as an independent and 480 MM dollars as a PE partner, significantly contributing to successful exploration efforts.
