After 2 years in this role Munirah joined Shell’s Malaysia Exploration team as an Exploration Geoscientist where she conducted portfolio evaluations, matured prospects and drilled wells in carbonate settings in the South China Sea. In 2014 Munirah transferred to Shell’s Norwegian Exploration team in Stavanger where she was involved in clastic play-based exploration as well as drilling and license maturation in the Barents and Norwegian Seas. Munirah then joined the Myanmar Exploration team where she was put in charge of maturing Shell’s carbonate portfolio in the Bay of Bengal.
