200 Years of Global Experience
Steve Geetan
Steve Geetan has worked in the oil and gas business for the past 30 years in many basins worldwide. Since 2011, he has overseen the development of key technologies in shale rock characterization, fracture mapping, and reservoir stimulation all focused on first proving feasibility and then vacating costs to create an economic process.
At Bifrost Energy, his passion is to develop climate-conscious processes to develop Blue Energy oilfields while developing novel Green Energy solutions. Steve brings extensive experience in program management, geomechanics, digital twin building, static and dynamic modeling skills.
He is a fellow of the Geological Society (London), the American Association of Professional Geologists (AAPG), and the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE). Steve earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Geology and Marine Zoology from The University of the West Indies (Mona) and a Master of Science degree in Structural Geology from Imperial College, UK.

Leon Aden
Leon Aden retired from a nearly 37-year career as a geologist with ExxonMobil in 2019. During that career, he worked as an individual contributor in production and exploration settings and supervised and advised business units and project teams in exploration and development ventures.
He had a particular focus on undertaking complex problems related to subsurface interpretation and project execution. Upon his retirement from ExxonMobil, Leon was appointed as an adjunct professor in the University of Iowa’s Earth and Environmental Science Department.
In this role (and in conjunction with his role in Bifrost Energy), he has been focused on forecasting future energy demand and evolving energy sources. He uses outlooks to inform pragmatic solutions that can reduce the US and global carbon emissions while considering continued growth in energy demand. Leon earned a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science degrees in Geoscience from the University of Iowa.

Rick MacDonald
Richard MacDonald has over forty years of diversified engineering and leadership experience in the energy industry. He started his career with Amoco and BP in various plays and basins throughout North America, Gabon, and Egypt. His more recent focus working at El Paso, EP Energy, and Alta Mesa Resources has been on unconventional and complex reservoirs. Mac emphasizes the systemic integration of the engineering and geoscience disciplines to solve complex technical problem and optimize field development. He is also a long-standing and contributing member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE).
Curtis Archie
Curtis Archie has more than 27 years oil and gas industry experience, primarily with the Trinidad and Tobago state companies (Trintopec and Petrotrin). He is experienced in prospect analysis, operations geology, petrophysics, seismic interpretation and field mapping. During his career, he developed and maintained the Development drilling portfolio for Petrotrin's onshore acreage. As Manager of Exploration & Geophysics, he built the Exploration well portfolio for Petrotrin's acreage, designing and implementing geophysical programs in support of investment decisions. He retired as Senior Manager Exploration & Development in 2018.
Always active in the geoscience community, Curtis has been involved with the University of the West Indies Petroleum Geoscience program supporting their field mapping program. He is involved with the Geological Society of Trinidad and Tobago (GSTT) in many capacities.
Curtis is a member of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG), Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG), Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) and the GSTT. His current interests include mapping outcrops around Trinidad and monitoring Mud Volcanic activity by incorporating traditional mapping techniques with drone technology.
