WEBINAR: Mastering the Art of Survey Design for Efficient and Cost-Effective Seismic Land Acquisition

John Naranjo is a seismic acquisition geophysicist providing survey design and acquisition for bp seismic projects in the Western Hemisphere. A recognized expert in the design and operations of ground and transition zone seismic surveys, John has designed and supervised projects in a variety of challenging environments, including in Alaska, Western Siberia, the US Lower 48, Brazil and Abu Dhabi. John was an early adopter of high trace density ground seismic, first applying ISS to projects in Alaska and more recently, combining ISS with STRYDE Nodes™ in Abu Dhabi.

Brendon has over 15 years experience working on a wide range of geophysical and geological projects in basins across New Zealand and Australia. Much of this experience is concentrated onshore with a strong emphasis on unconventional and tight gas exploration and development. Over the past 10+ years, Brendon has been focused on implementing the latest technologies in onshore seismic acquisition, processing and interpretation with operators in Australia and New Zealand, where he has championed impactful survey acquisition design and methodologies low but high spec that have helped change the mindset of how to approach survey design with new source and receiver technologies. His main areas of expertise include:

• Design and execution of geophysical workflows for the exploitation of conventional and unconventional resources.
• Application of the latest technologies in seismic acquisition, processing and attribution techniques for exploration of conventional and unconventional targets including azimuthal velocity analysis, AVaz and AVOAz for stress regime and natural fracture characterization.
• 2D and 3D seismic interpretation on exploration and development projects, including identifying new leads, maturing leads into drilling prospects and supporting ongoing drilling campaigns providing live forecast updates and model calibration.

Chris Einchcomb is an expert geophysical consultant with nearly 40 years of experience in the oil and gas industry, particularly focused on exploration, new ventures and subsurface challenges. As an expert in exploration, Chris has held Director and VP roles for companies such as bp, TNK-BP and Rosneft and led Integra’s onshore seismic business. As a well-seasoned geophysicist, Chris has managed and delivered more than 100 seismic ground acquisition projects across the globe and truly understands what it takes to deliver a fully optimized survey design that will minimize costs and risk, without compromising image quality.
