June 2009 President's Letter

noemail@gshtx.org — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 17:00:00 GMT

Time Flies When You’re Having Fun!

It’s already been nine months since I wrote my first newsletter column as this year’s president.
It seems like just yesterday!

In that short time we have witnessed a most dramatic shift in the world’s economic fortune.
As with all major “seismic shifts” the impact has been felt by all business sectors. What started
out as a “financial meltdown” has now spread and is affecting all aspects of business including
manufacturing, energy resource management and, closer to us, the search for and production
of hydrocarbons.

There seems to be little doubt that we will have to adjust to these new economic realities and
plan for them accordingly. The optimists among us (I count myself as one of them) will see
this as an opportunity to rethink how we approach problems and hopefully come up with better
ideas and solutions.

When the current board took office, we hoped to improve on traditional GSH offerings, initiate
new events, improve communications with and expand ourmembership, and continue building
ties with our sister societies. We have achieved some of those goals, implemented some
that were started by our predecessors and laid the groundwork for others.

1st and 2nd VP-Elect positions on the board. With the current election of the 2009-2010 officers
we will have two new officers on the board. It has been the general consensus of the most recent
boards that it takes time to get up to speed once one joins the GSH board. The newly created
positions will allow the VP-Elects to attend the board meetings and get a feel for the work to be
carried out. This will increase continuity and provide backup for those times when the 1st or
2nd VP is absent. Remember that all GSH officers are volunteers and often have to balance
work with GSH demands.

Technical Events: By any measure, this has been a very successful year in terms of the technical
presentations that have been organized under the auspices of your 1st VP, Bill Fahmy and his
committees. The “same talk – two locations” for the monthly Technical lunch was continued this
year. We had the chance to listen to high quality papers on topics ranging from “Listening
to Fractures” to “4D” - all of this despite a cancellation due to Hurricane Ike. I want to thank all of
the speakers who graciously gave their talks two days in a row. As tradition would have it, the
out going 1st VP has already lined up speakers for the Fall schedule. Watch your newsletter and
the website for announcements.The monthly Tech Breakfast has also been a resounding success. It has been common to see 60 to 80 geoscientists gathered at 7 AM on the second Wednesday of the month to see a series of very informative talks. The series has been loosely built around case histories, subsalt work in deep waters and prestack depth migration techniques. We have Marvin Taylor to thank for this and he assures me that he will continue his stellar efforts in the coming year.

The Spring Symposium and the DISC are our marquee events. The Spring Symposium this year
was themed on New Acquisition Techniques and the processing challenges and improvements
they have engendered. The Symposium was also an opportunity for our industry to honor
Dr. Frank Levin’s contributions to Geophysics during his career at Exxon and later at Western
Geophysical. Bob Wegner chaired the organizing committee and reported on the symposium in the
most recent GSH newsletter.

By the time you read this we will also have hosted the SEG DISC and provided another chance
to build our technical knowledge. Over one hundred attendees were there to listen to Dr. Patrick Corbett’s course on Geoengineering.

Our special interest groups (SIG’s) have continued to provide another outlet for those with specialized interests in Data Processing, Rock Physics, Potential Fields and Multi-Component technologies.As one fervent attendee at many of these events commented to me, one could go to a half dozen technical presentation every month just from the GSH!

Social Events: The main social events of the year – Golf, Sporting Clays, Fishing Tournament
and now Tennis continue to attract many participants. These events not only give us an opportunity
to relax with fellow doodlebuggers but also provide some additional funding for the technical
events as well as our annual contribution to SEG scholarships. This source of revenue allows us to
keep the prices for the technical events to a minimum.

Sponsors: In this difficult financial climate we have received substantial support fromcompanies large and small that have stepped up and contributed necessary funds to hold our events and keep a lid
on costs to the participants. We certainly want to thank them and hope that they will continue to
support the GSH in the future.

Outreach: This year we again participated in Geoscience Day. This event is aimed at new people
coming into the industry and exposes them to many geophysical techniques in acquisition, processing and interpretation. The GSH was also a very visible participant at the annual High School Science fair where we not only provided judges for the projects but also had a booth with information on geoscience careers. The GSH gave three monetary awards to deserving high school students.

Initiatives: A major initiative that was approved this year was the (much needed) revamping of the
website. This will have to continue under next year’s board – fortunately, Glenn Bear, who will be
returning as Editor, has been involved in setting the criteria that we feel will make the site more
user friendly and welcoming to our membership as well as interested observers.

There are many other society activities but space does not allow me to do them all justice. All of
them require your active participation and I hope you will also encourage fellow workers to join
in the fun. The GSH provides a great platform to inform, educate and help explain our profession
so that we can attract the next generation of explorationists to this great undertaking.

On a personal note, I want to thank this year’s board, SEG reps, committee chairs and volunteers
for all of their work and active participation in our endeavors. It’s been a pleasure and privilege to
serve as president this past year. I hope the incoming officers will have as much fun as we’ve had!

2009 GSH/SEG Spring Symposium

Tue, 05 May 2009 14:00:00 GMT

2009 GSH/SEG Spring Symposium - Honoring Franklyn K. Levin

On March 4 & 5, approximately 170 people attended the GSH annual Spring Symposium
held at the Omni Palace in West Houston. The symposium of invited and contributed
papers highlighted recent innovations in seismic (land, marine, ocean-bottom, simultaneous
sources) and EM acquisition technology, along with related processing and interpretation
techniques. Throughout the program, speakers celebrated Frank’scontributions to geophysics
and their personal remembrances of his influence on them and their work.

Invited papers covered the latest developments in land and marine acquisition technologies,
including the implementation of simultaneous sources, marine vibrators (yes!), the optimization
of marine wide azimuthacquisition, the acquisition of OBC/OBS data, and the uses of coil
shooting for full-azimuth coverage and dual-sensor streamers for removing ghosts.
Shown also were excellent examples of subsurface images obtained from wide-azimuth data processed
with the most advanced imaging algorithms, such as anisotropic reverse time migration.
Several talks were followed by lively discussions on various topics (e.g., cable vs. wireless acquisition
on land, the physical mechanism behind slowvelocity noise in shallow marine data.)

Six guest speakers recognized Frank Levin’s contributions to a broad array of geophysical topics,
comprising seismicacquisition, processing, modeling, and theory. In addition, he inspired an
entire generation of geophysicists at Exxon and Western Geophysical,as well as the geophysical
community at large, to contribute to geophysical knowledge and to publish the results.

The dinner featured a toast and roast by Bob Wegner, a reminiscence by Frank’s youngest son
Philip, and a 60-year retrospective of the industry by Frank. There were numerous testimonials from
those gathered in an expression of heartfelt thanks for his contributions both technical and personal.

By all accounts it was a very successful event. This was the first time aquestionnaire polled
attendees to comment on technical content, facility accommodation, refreshment and
venue location. While there is always room for improvement, the general feedback was
most favorable regarding the event.

Also to be commended are the Symposium committee volunteers who gave a lot of their time
to ensure that the event met the highest possible standards and attracted quality presentations.
The GSH is indebted to the corporate sponsors who stepped up to the plate and were an
important factor in helping make this a successful event. Their continued commitment in
supporting technical conferences such as the Spring Symposium even in this challenging
economic environment is a testament to their belief that communication and spreading of
knowledge is a valuable investment in the future of our industry.

In a closing remark by Frank reflecting on his 60-year career, his longheld conviction that
publication was the cornerstone of accomplishment had now changed. He felt of equal
importance was collaboration with others and the nurturing of ideas. This feeling was
reinforced throughout the symposium’s proceedings.

April 2009 Presidents Letter

Mon, 06 Apr 2009 14:00:00 GMT

President’s Column: By Peter M. Eick, P.G.
Is it a depression yet?

April is tax month. On April 15, your taxes are due and thus this month I’ll focus on accounting and taxes. As I was doing my taxes, I reflected on what the past year has brought us in our industry. Last year at this time we were in the heady excited period just wondering how high oil would go and cringing every time we went to the gas pump or got our summer electric bills. Now when I fill up my truck I cringe at how little it costs. Basically, the word from the economists is that the economy is a wreck and we are in a recession bordering on a global depression. Speaking as the GSH Treasurer, I can certainly say the economic hard times have impacted our societies society’s financial condition.

Let’s review what happened in 2008. What can I say? Are we in a depression yet? Looking at the GSH books, I can say our financial position today is worse then it was a year ago. I am sure that most of you have looked at your 401K’s and thought the same thing. Fortunately, for most of us, we are still working so we are adding to our 401’s and not drawing against them.

A Few Thoughts by Bob Ayers

Fri, 06 Mar 2009 14:00:00 GMT

A Few Thoughts
As I sit here at home, staring at my monitor, I ponder what to write for this
month’s column. I would like it to be something witty and entertaining but I
draw a complete blank. We all know there have been many authors before
me, which have written elegant prose for this column that made us sit back
and reflect on their message. I read many previous columns for inspiration,
yet I struggle.

Well, I will take the lead from my predecessors, as I know there are many
people that need to be thanked. There are many individuals who have been
very generous with their time working on the many GSH functions, most
of all, the individuals who chair the various committees that organize and
put on the technical, sporting and social events, and their many volunteers. Each
is important to the success of those events; they deserve recognition.

So, to that end, I wish to express my sincere appreciation to each and every one of
them for their time and diligent efforts.But, what other words can I write that
will be worthy of the paper on which they will be printed? As I sit here,my thoughts
keep coming back to the economic turmoil that seems to gripour great nation,
and, if you believe what you read in the press and hearon the news, the entire world.
You or I cannot change much as an individual, but we can rely on each other to help
all of us get through these trying times. I have been in this crazy business for over
thirty-four years. I have been through numerous cycles of rapidgrowth and rapid
retrenchment. I survived most, got caught in a fewof the down turns, but I have always
landed on my feet with a little help from the geophysicists who are my friends.
I believe that the keys to survival in this business environment are to keep
your technical and managerial skills well honed and to tap your network
of professional and personal contacts. That network is important. It gives us a place
to search for that next challenge when needed, and it gives usan opportunity to assist
our friends in their times of need. Our networks will help all of us whether the economic
storm that lies ahead, whether it is an isolated thunderstorm or a raging hurricane with
wide ranging and long lasting effects.

So, I encourage each of you to reinforce your network and reach out to your friends.
Participate in the wide range of GSH events, be they technical, social, or sporting in
nature. I encourage you to attend the various functions, support your society and
invigorate your personal network by inviting them to come along. I hopethese economic
rigors in which we seem to be mired will diminish quickly. If they persist, use your network.
Ithas helped me in the past.

Looking Ahead

Mon, 09 Feb 2009 17:00:00 GMT

As the New Year dawns upon us, I’ve noticed that the old challenges we have faced before, and managed to overcome in the past, have returned once again. The economy is again unstable, oil prices are sagging, and exploration opportunities are becoming ever more difficult to pursue. These are some of the major issues that our industry will continue to face in the future.

While we geophysicists can’t control economic cycles, I believe we can address the technical difficulties associated with today’s exploration opportunities.

Making a difference in our business should be everyone’s passion this coming year and for the future. This could be accomplished by creating and applying new technology or by developing new complicated interpretation workflows. But it may also be very simple and innovative ideas of applying existing technologies in a different way, or modifying existing interpretation workflows to address new problems. These simple ideas could be the solution that is needed to help delineate new opportunities.

As we look ahead, I believe our GSH technical venues can help provide geoscientists with the ideas needed to tackle some of the challenges we will face in the future. As mentioned in the last news letter by Glenn Bear, the GSH offers a variety of forums including the Special Interest Groups, Technical Breakfasts, Technical Luncheons, the SEG/EAGE DISC and the Spring Symposium. I would like to elaborate on a couple of those venues which will be coming your way shortly. The Spring Symposium will be held this coming March to honor Dr. Frank Levin. This symposium is designed to focus on the latest trends and innovations in seismic and electromagnetic acquisition as well as related processing and interpretation techniques. This event should serve as a great vehicle to learn about recent advances and future solutions in land and marine acquisition including topics such as marine wide-azimuth acquisition with simultaneous sources and its impact on seismic imaging in complex environments.

The other upcoming event is the SEG/EAGE Distinguished Instructor Short Course which will be held in April. This event will feature Dr. Patrick Corbett. Following recent trends of integration in our discipline, this event targets Petroleum Geoengineering and integration of static and dynamic models.

Finally, in addition to the diversity of topics and case histories that we’ll be bringing you via the Technical Breakfasts and Luncheons, don’t forget the SEG Distinguished Lecture. This spring Dr. Jack Bouska of BP will present his take on integrating seismic acquisition and processing techniques to achieve optimum interpretation results.

So, in spite of economic downturns and new business hurdles, the GSH is starting the new year with some very exciting opportunities that should provide you with some great ideas. Participation in these events will help you find that nugget that may make difference in your job. I am certainly looking forward to it, and hope to see many of you there and above all wish you the best this coming year.

President's Column December 2008

Mon, 08 Dec 2008 20:00:00 GMT

AN EXCITING CAREER and MONEY

This is intended for those college students who are deciding on a career path, but you long-timers can read it too. Unfortunately, very few of the college students will be reading the GSH NEWSLETTER, because our membership are mostly working professionals, so your assignment is to pass this Newsletter to college students, college advisors, and guidance councilors.

Consider this a testimonial of sorts. I’ve been a professional for 31 years and I’m having so much fun that I’m looking forward to the next 31. That’s no joke. I’m a consultant, so I don’t have to retire. Why would I want to leave the party? Seriously, this career has been fun and there’s no reason for it to end now. Why isn’t everyone rushing to join the energy industry?

“Join the Navy and See the World” is a slogan that most everyone knows. After college I considered the Navy, for that very reason. The Navy offered to pay for my graduate degree in nuclear physics, which was a serious option as my degree was in physics. But then I realized that if I did my graduate work in Geophysics, that I could “Join an Oil Company and Get Paid to See the World.” That’s a better deal. I’ve been paid handsomely to live and work (not just visit) in eight states and nine nations, and in the process I’ve visited several others. I know others who’ve traveled a lot more than that. Some of you may not want to travel. Fine. There are jobs in all companies that don’t transfer. But for those of you who want to see the world, the best way is to get paid to travel. I started my career with Chevron. Chevron paid me a “hardship” bonus to live in Perth, Australia for one year and work all over the “out back” of Western Australia and South Australia. How great is that? Another great assignment was when Chevron essentially doubled my salary to live in Khartoum, Sudan and oversee geophysical operations in the Sudd. While in Sudan I’d pass spare time by hanging out at the bar at the Grand Hotel, over looking the Blue Nile (the White Nile was on the other side of town) and would talk with guys who were going South on safari. These guys were paying a prince’s ransom for the privilege of going to the same area that I got paid to visit. I’m telling you, this can be a great job! What other industry does this? Well, the CIA, but then you can’t talk about your experiences.

Have you read Moby Dick, or Omoo or Typee? Why do I ask? Because Herman Melville went on one whaling trip and wrote three novels from the adventure. There are a lot of us who could write novels from our travels, if we were inclined to write novels. That’s another opportunity which can come out of a career in the energy industry.

What are you college students waiting for? Have you been frightened by the “feast and famine” nature of the energy business? Don’t be. There are opportunities during an “up” cycle, and there are opportunities during a “down” cycle. Just plan for a cycle and be versatile enough to take advantage of the opportunities in change. Remember that all modern civilizations live on energy consumption, so there will always be another “up” cycle. Think of it as a roller coaster ride, and remember that people stand in line and pay good money for the privilege of riding the roller coaster. I said it was an exciting career in the title.

Those of you who have bright ideas and want to create new technology, consider that some energy companies have budgets larger than some nations GNP. They promote new technology as a means for staying successful. The point is that energy companies can fund big projects and push applied physics which means you can do applied research. We do projects every year that are the equivalent of a graduate degree.

Do you feel that “Big Oil” has a poor environmental image? I claim that image is wrong, but if you feel that way, then there are jobs in Energy in alternative sources, such as wind, solar, tidal, and/or geothermal. And all forms of energy need environmental advisors, so that’s another way to have a “green” position in the energy industry.

You can make a career in the energy industry be just about anything you want it to be.

By the time this gets to print, the SEG Annual Meeting in Las Vegas will be past, so, start now planning to attend the SEG Annual Meeting 2009 in Houston and go by The Living Legends booth (I’m not one of them) and talk with which ever Legend is there. I’m betting that all of the Legends will expand on what I said about a career in the energy industry being a great choice of careers.

Last month Jackie Ming wrote the President’s Column. We have different ways of phrasing it, but we both are saying that there are good opportunities for long, enjoyable careers in the energy industry. This industry allows one to have as exciting a career as one chooses. It's great.

Professional Society
Once upon a time, one could get a job out of college and reasonably expect to work an entire career at that company. Now it’s more typical for one to change companies every five years or so. This makes having a professional membership even more important because the Society becomes the common thread that will span the entire professional career. If you’re a member, thanks, and please actively participate. If you know someone who isn’t a member, tell them how great GSH is and that they can apply online at www.gshtx.org

Corporate Relations Committee
Money. I finally get to a topic that is of interest to all. I don't have to tell anyone in the business world that a cash flow is needed to stay in business. A Professional Society is the same. We have to have a steady cash flow from our membership and from companies within our industry who support forward-thinking advancements to keep our workers on the leading edge of the industry. One way to support the GSH is to encourage employees to attend the events, such as the Technical Breakfasts, Technical Luncheons, DISC, Symposium, etc. Give them time to attend and encourage them to expand their knowledge. Enlightened employees are good for the company. Another way to support the GSH is via cash sponsorships. The GSH is working to form contacts with companies so that they can include sponsorships in their annual budget. You'll be hearing more on this from the GSH Corporate Relations Committee, which is co-chaired this year by Past President George Marion and Past 2nd VP Haynie Stringer.

Calendar of Events:
December events are clearly listed in the Newsletter and on the GSH web site. GSH will send emailed reminders to those who are listed with GSH. If you are not getting emailed reminders, please send an email to Lilly Hargrave at GSH office and ask to be added to the list.

President's Column January 2009

Wed, 03 Dec 2008 19:00:00 GMT

Glenn Bear – Editor

I continue to be impressed by the quality of the technical programs offered by the Geophysical Society of Houston. The technical breakfasts and the monthly luncheons (on the west side of Houston and downtown) are consistently worth the time and effort to attend. The various Special Interest Groups (Data Processing, Rock Physics, Potential Fields, and Multi-Component) routinely provide excellent speakers that dig a bit deeper into the technical issues we all handle on a daily basis. The annual Spring Symposium has been a huge success largely because of the high-quality technical work being presented there. These events are publicized via the monthly GSH Newsletter and the GSH Website. Technical breakfasts and SIG meetings are free! GSH members and non-members are welcome at these events (What a DEAL!). The technical lunches and the Spring Symposium are available at a modest cost. One of the benefits of GSH membership is a reduction in the cost of attending these flagship technical events. GSH Membership is still just $30 / year!

So why haven’t I see YOU there? To be fair, one could also ask “why haven’t I seen Glenn there?” By far the most common answer I hear (and give) is “I’m just very, very busy.” Perhaps the good news is that most of us are fully employed and don’t have any trouble finding enough interesting work to keep us busy. The bad news appears to be that we are so busy trying to meet short-term deadlines that we can’t look up long enough to see what else is happening. In a profession such as ours, this is a dangerous habit to fall into. Even if you are lucky enough to be part of an excellent technical team in an excellent company, it is very likely that you have peers of at least equivalent technical prowess right here in Houston. Attendance at the GSH technical events is a great way to keep up with the rapidly evolving technology of our industry and to make the connections that will allow you to be more efficient in your work. It is a true win-win!

For my part, I’m trying to squeeze in as many technical events as possible. I would encourage you to do the same. Chances are you’ll hear an interesting technical talk that will inspire you to think a bit differently about your work. You might also meet some interesting people who can share or lighten your work load. If you attend a technical breakfast or lunch, at the very least you won’t have to face the busy day hungry!

So take my advice, turn off your Blackberry, and go see some of the great ideas being shared at a GSH technical event. You’ll be glad you did!
