Chanida Kaewkor

Currently serving as the Chief of the Thailand-Malaysia Joint Development Area Group at the Department of Mineral Fuels. I am an accomplished geologist with approximately 17 years of experience in the oil and gas industry, specializing in geological assessment, project management, and curriculum development in applied geophysics. I possess proven expertise in managing technical programs for petroleum bidding rounds and conducting extensive geological research.
In addition to my industry experience, I have significant experience managing within the Production Sharing Contract (PSC) system and am skilled in coordinating cross-functional teams. I excel in time management and problem-solving, with a positive approach to handling multiple priorities.

I have a strong academic background as a teaching assistant at Royal Holloway University of London and as an expert committee member for curriculum revision at Chiang Mai University.
