InterAct Announces Strong Addition to Its Technical Team

InterAct, an Acteon company, is pleased to announce the addition of Mr. Jerry Nichols, Sr. Geophysical Advisor, to its technical team.

Nichols has over 35 years’ experience in technical and managerial roles in the geosciences throughout the US (GOM, California, and North Slope), Middle East, Australia, South America, and the North Sea. He has extensive experience in both exploration and field development, particularly in acquiring, processing, and interpreting 3D seismic data.

Nichols’ experience as exploration manager at Orchard Petroleum included significant enhancement of the company’s cashflow through upgraded drilling locations. His business development abilities were honed by spearheading analysis and appraisal of the company’s existing exploration portfolio and establishing new value enhancing exploration and development opportunities through his depth of experience and California contacts.

Nichols has six years of experience in the Arabian Basin with Pennzoil and later Novus Petroleum, including seismic acquisition and interpretation and well operations. His accomplishments include the role of president of Pennzoil Qatar Inc. in Doha, Qatar.
