Talk by Ernie Delfos – ‘Colour of Rocks’
Having spent over 40 years in the great Oil & Gas industry, you know what part of your career you are in when you are invited to give a talk on it. It seemed an appropriate invitation to accept when in July this year I realised that my passion for geology came a full circle with a trip to the Bungle Bungle Range in the Kimberley region. The magnificent beehive structures and their alternating red and yellow colouring caused the posing of the question why? The same question as a teenager I asked what causes the colour of rocks and who studies this?
Transitioning from full time employment to “my time” employment is exciting and highly recommended if affordable and I am excited to share experiences, lessons learned, and yarns on all these influences and mentors that shaped my career so far.
I strongly believe there is plenty of running room in the future demand of hydrocarbons to improve global standards of living, while we find better ways to cut emissions and seek alternatives.
