Romanche Resources pairs five decades of international upstream oil, gas and LNG experience with an active alluvial gold operation in Papua New Guinea — combining field-proven geology with a disciplined path to production and export.
A geophysicist and geologist with roughly fifty years of international upstream energy and mining experience across some eighty countries. Graham began his career as a rig geologist in Abu Dhabi in 1974, and has since worked major discoveries and frontier-market operations for organizations including ExxonMobil, Lundin Petroleum, and Oxy. He is the sole expatriate principal on the ground for Romanche Resources PNG, holding a residence and work permit in-country.
Romanche Resources is organized across three entities for tax efficiency, currency management, and disciplined capital retention.
Romanche Resources PNG operates a district-scale alluvial gold project in Wau, Morobe Province — a goldfield with a working history stretching back nearly a century, built on deep, long-standing relationships with the landowner families who hold the surrounding customary land.
The Mineral Resources Authority has granted RRPNG active leases across the district, and the operation applies modern excavation and dewatering methodology to reach pay zones that earlier, less disciplined operators were unable to work safely or economically.
Romanche Resources has outlined an integrated LNG value-chain strategy for Papua New Guinea's Western Highlands gas — the WestGAS concept — connecting stranded fields to expand the addressable resource base from roughly 8 TCF to a target of approximately 20 TCF.
The strategy pairs dense-phase pipeline transport with floating LNG vessel export via a north-coast route, offering a substantial routing advantage over competing south-coast export infrastructure.
Beyond active operations, Romanche Resources holds strategic data assets accumulated over decades in frontier upstream markets.
Proprietary offshore 3D seismic datasets covering the Belo Profond and Juan de Nova blocks, identifying multi-TCF structures with direct hydrocarbon indicators.
Multi-decade operating relationships and security clearances across roughly eighty countries, shortening the path into new frontier basins.
Established leases, permits, and MRA relationships in Papua New Guinea, including a rare foreign-CEO exemption under current alluvial mining policy.
Career begins on the rig floor in the UAE, the start of five decades in international upstream operations.
Execution role in significant Caspian basin discoveries during the region's major exploration era.
Senior technical and deal roles across major independents and international operators, structuring complex cross-border transactions.
Navigated frontier-market entry into PNG, building the relationships and regulatory standing behind today's operations.
