Dr. Amalia Olivera-Riley is a geoscientist at ExxonMobil, based in their Houston office. During her 15 year career, she’s been involved in a broad variety of geoscience projects in basins around the world, ranging from large scale regional studies to field scale projects, from exploration to production. In her current position, she is involved in evaluating new exploration opportunities in South America.
In parallel with her technical focus, Amalia has had a devotion to students, visiting geoscience departments around the US, and teaching field and classroom student courses in collaboration with ExxonMobil colleagues. In recent years, Amalia had a short stance in Human Resources expanding her interests outside of the technical realm, understanding how organizations find and define an identity, to create a productive and focused work environment.
Amalia earned a degree in Geology from Universidad de Buenos Aires, and a PhD in Geoscience from Purdue University.
Amalia is new to IAPG Houston and is looking forward to expanding her leadership roles outside of ExxonMobil.
