His expertise includes interpretation, prospect generation and farm-in evaluation. Van Mechelen earned a Masters Degree in Structural Geology and Exploration Geophysics from Rijks University Utrecht.

Peter Thou, PhD, Dr. Thuo is a highly qualified exploration geologist and geochemist. His 26 years with the National Oil Corporation of Kenya (NOCK) provides invaluable knowledge and experience for ERHC Energy, particularly on the exploration potential of basins in East and Central Africa. Prior to early retirement from the NOCK in 2011, Dr. Thuo served as Exploration Team Leader, leading the Exploration and Production department. In addition to sitting on the National Fossil Fuels Advisory Committee, which negotiates terms of the Production Sharing Contracts, Dr. Thuo had extensive experience working as a senior geologist and geochemist in the NOCK. Dr. Thuo earned his Postgraduate Diploma in Exploration Geology from the University of London, Masters of Science Degree in Geology from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland and a PhD from the Université de Bretagne Occidentale in France. He has authored many technical papers and presentations on African E&P, especially on the petroleum prospectivity of the Mesozoic and Tertiary Rift Basins of Kenya.

Geosientist Martin Wensrich, Martin Wensrich is an experienced geoscientist whose skills and experience are being applied to ERHC's Chad exploration program in particular. With more than 36 years in the industry, Mr. Wensrich has a strong background in applied Geology and Geophysics, and his advanced technical skills include sequence stratigraphy, seismic facies analysis, quantitative fault seal analysis, structural, stratigraphic and velocity modeling, prestack and post stack data processing, AVO and complex seismic attribute analysis. His geographic experience includes North America, Africa and Australasia, both onshore and offshore. Mr. Wensrich is a proven oil finder, credited with more than 150 MMBOE in discoveries and reserve additions. Mr. Wensrich earned a Masters of Science Degree in Geology from San Diego State University and a Bachelor of Science Degree in Geology from the University of California at Santa Cruz.

And Dr. Ken Seymour, Senior Petroleum Engineer.

Dr. Ken Seymour is a highly experienced petroleum engineer who has worked in E&P for over 30 years. He has extensive experience in Africa, particularly in Angola and Nigeria.
