Dr. Nunns began his career with Chevron in 1982 as a research geophysicist.

He was the earth science advisor for CNL's largest asset area and coordinated CNL's first geosteered horizontal wells. Upon returning to the United States, Mr. Nunns was the headquarters IT manager for Chevron's international upstream operations, before his current assignment.
