Julie Wilson

Julie has covered global conventional exploration since 2011, analysing the business of exploration. She assesses how well the global industry, and individual companies, are performing in finding hydrocarbons and bringing them to market, with a focus on value creation. Additionally, her team assesses the yet-to-find volume and value potential of key basins, and Julie's area of interest is the Americas.   Julie has worked at Wood Mackenzie for 18 years in various roles in both the upstream consulting and research divisions. She has worked closely with clients advising on global and local industry issues, with a recent focus on exploration strategy and performance.   Julie moved to Houston from the UK in November 2000. She helped to build the Houston consulting practice and managed a wide variety of international consulting engagements. In 2006 she moved across to the research division and built the Houston-based team focusing on the deepwater US Gulf of Mexico.   Prior to joining Wood Mackenzie, Julie worked in BP's upstream business for eight years in London and Aberdeen in a variety of political, commercial, and financial analysis roles, spanning international and domestic North Sea operations and exploration.   Julie graduated from Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh and from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland.
