Paul Favret

Paul Favret

Paul Favret is a Colorado-based energy executive, entrepreneur, and inventor with more than four decades of experience in oil and gas exploration, technology development, and private equity-backed operations. His career includes founding three companies and serving as Chief Executive Officer of several organizations. Leadership roles include Resource Energy Partners, an Apollo Global Management-backed operator that acquired three public companies through Section 363 bankruptcy proceedings and operated more than 220 wells, producing approximately 3,800 barrels of oil per day. He also led Source Energy Partners, which controlled over 800,000 acres and 18 producing wells generating more than 3,500 barrels per day.

Favret earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Geology from Western Carolina University between 1980 and 1984 and graduated magna cum laude. Academic work continued at the University of South Carolina, where a Master’s Degree in Geology and Geophysics was completed with summa cum laude honors between 1984 and 1986.

He later expanded his education with additional business preparation. He completed a Master of Business Administration at the University of Houston and graduated cum laude in 1992. In 1999, Petroleum Engineering for Management studies were completed at the Colorado School of Mines to strengthen the understanding of engineering principles connected to energy development.

Favret began his professional career in 1986 with Amoco, where he served for 10 years as a lead explorationist and geophysicist. His assignments included Gulf Coast exploration, deepwater Gulf of Mexico projects, international work in Nigeria and Angola, and domestic initiatives in the Wyoming Greater Green River Basin.

From 1994 to 1996, he received five President’s Awards for achievements in exploration and development. During that same period, he was the only professional within the company to receive five such awards. Early career work also included participation in geological research and the publication of results.

Paul Favret joined Aspect Energy, LLC in 1996 as president and early partner. From 1996 to 2004, exploration strategy, technical team development, and asset growth were guided as the company expanded its activities.

He later served as president of Abundant Resources from 2004 to 2008. Work during that period focused on shale resource development in the Barnett, Fayetteville, and Woodford shale regions across Texas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma.

Favret founded Ascend Geo, LLC in 2002 and served as Founder, Chief Executive Officer, and Director until 2009. The company developed portable cableless seismic acquisition and continuous recording platforms, including the Ascend Ultra Seis recording system.

The recording system became the first cable-less, continuous recording, satellite-timed system introduced in the industry. Seven U.S. patents were secured for seismic acquisition architecture. Career contributions also include eight U.S. patents covering seismic data acquisition methods, interactive investigation systems, data synchronisation, vibrator force control, and noise attenuation.

Favret founded Source Energy Partners, L.P. in 2010 and served as Chief Executive Officer until 2015. The company focused on shale resources in Europe, Colombia, and the Mid-Continent region of the United States.

Operations controlled more than 800,000 acres across four project areas and included 18 producing wells generating more than 3,500 barrels per day. Between 2013 and 2015, the projects were successfully sold as part of the company's development strategy.

Paul Favret became Chief Executive Officer of Resource Energy Partners LLC in November 2015. The Denver-based company, backed by Apollo Global Management, focused on bankruptcy acquisitions in the Bakken play of the Williston Basin.

Over 18 months, the company acquired three mid-sized public companies through the Section 363 bankruptcy process. Operations included more than 220 wells and production of approximately 3,800 barrels of oil per day before a successful sale in 2021.

He has remained involved in professional organizations and community activities. Participation includes the American Association of Petroleum Geologists and the Denver Geological Society. Support has also been provided to ACE Scholarships, which offers financial assistance to students in multiple states, with annual donations exceeding $25 million, as well as to the Dumb Friends League.

Paul Favret is now retired from full-time executive leadership. He remains active in the motorcycle community and continues to participate in adventure rallies while maintaining engagement with professional and charitable initiatives.

Pascal van Knijff

Pascal van Knijff

Pascal B. van Knijff is an entrepreneur, technology strategist, and international keynote speaker with more than 30 years of experience at the intersection of digital innovation, blockchain, artificial intelligence, institutional finance, and sustainability.

As Founder and Managing Partner of KARBNZ Global, Pascal is leading the development of a next-generation Natural Capital Platform that integrates blockchain, artificial intelligence, satellite intelligence, digital Measurement, Reporting & Verification (MRV), biomass, biochar, and institutional climate finance to transform natural assets into transparent, verifiable, and investable infrastructure.

Through KARBNZ Global and its experienced Brazilian operating partners, Pascal is helping develop one of the world's most ambitious integrated natural capital platforms, combining ecological restoration, sustainable forestry, biomass, biochar, digital MRV, and institutional finance into a scalable investment model. His work provides first-hand insight into how blockchain, AI, and trusted data can enable transparency, continuous verification, and long-term stewardship across complex environmental assets at a scale relevant to institutional investors, governments, and global climate initiatives.

His work reflects a broader transformation in global climate finance; from standalone carbon credit projects to diversified natural capital platforms that integrate ecological restoration with sustainable timber, biomass, biochar, biodiversity, and high-integrity environmental markets. This vision was recently featured by CarbonCredits.com in "Beyond Carbon Credits: How KARBNZ Global Is Building a Natural Capital Platform Around Forests, Biomass, and Biochar."

Pascal has long advocated for applying blockchain beyond digital assets, positioning it as the trust infrastructure for Real World Assets (RWAs). His work explores how blockchain, AI, autonomous agents, satellite intelligence, and digital twins can create continuous verification, transparent governance, and institutional-grade investment frameworks for climate infrastructure and sustainable finance.

An experienced international speaker, Pascal has presented at leading blockchain and innovation conferences, including BLOCKCHANCE Europe, and EU's inaugural Blockchain Convergence, sharing insights on blockchain adoption, tokenization, digital transformation, Web3, artificial intelligence, and emerging technologies.

Today, Pascal is recognized for bridging technology with practical implementation, translating complex concepts into actionable strategies for governments, institutional investors, enterprises, and innovators. His presentations challenge audiences to think beyond tokenization and explore how AI and blockchain together can build the trusted digital infrastructure that underpins the next generation of Real World Assets and the global natural capital economy.
