David Taylor has thirty one years experience in the oil and gas industry with a focus on evaluation of exploration and development projects. After four years with Exxon working in the Gulf of Mexico and Gulf Coast areas, he joined Transco in their E&P company. For ten years, his assignments were focused on exploration and development projects. Then he joined the gas pipeline group to manage a gas supply function. He spent the next two years in a venture capital group within Transco. At Aquila, he was involved in the planning and management of project selection as the company developed a drilling program. At Halliburton, he was responsible for sourcing, evaluating and closing new business ventures as the company expanded from the service role to becoming a risk sharing partner.

During his career, he has worked on four major company acquisitions or divestitures, and numerous major project developments with a size over $100 million.
