Touchstone Exploration geoscientist wins international award

For the first time in T&T’s century-old oil industry, a local geoscientist has copped an international award for his contribution to geological education in T&T.

Xavier Moonan, who was one of the frontline volunteers into research at Piparo mud volcano, said he was humbled to have received the Grover E. Murray Memorial Distinguished Educator Award from the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG).

Moonan, whose work as a Senior Geoscientist at Touchstone Exploration, led to the four onshore gas discoveries announced in 2019 & 2020, said he wanted to spur more awareness for the field of geology in T&T.

Touchstone Exploration Inc (LON:TXP) is a Canadian-based, international upstream oil and gas company currently active in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.
