Description: Kliger received his Ph.D. from the Moscow Oil and Gas Institute. His recent history includes frequent commutes between his home in Brooklyn, New York (since 1991) and his native Russia to develop petroleum-related business arrangements as a consultant for American companies. As a consultant and former CEO of American companies, he has established contacts and developed many businesses within the former Soviet Union. These business ventures included all phases of oil and gas development.

From 1988 to 1991, Dr. Kliger was the Director of the geophysical Program of SovGeoInfo (Soviet Geological Information). For the Soviets, he negotiated the sale of geological information to interested Western buyers. In 1989 he was the principal investigator for the publication of the Seismic and Geological Atlas of Major Petroleum Basins in the USSR.

This was a joint project between the Central Geophysical Expedition (Moscow) of the Oil Ministry of the Soviet Union and the Petroleum Information Corporation of Houston, Texas. Two other articles (on Pre-Caucasian and West Siberian Basins) were published in the Oil and Gas Journal in 1992 and 1994.
