History of the PBGS: 1994-95
OFFICERS:
PRESIDENT: Sam Dobbs (Western Geophysical Company)
PRES. ELECT: James E. Flis (Chevron USA Inc.)
VICE PRES. Ray Tobias (Dawson Geophysical Co.)
SECRETARY: Jasha Cultreri (Consultant)
TREASURER: Erec Isaacson (Phillips Petroleum)
The first thing to note is the change in titles from First VP to President Elect and from Second VP to Vice President. Things usually followed this way but now the only way to avoid a two year commitment to the top level is by death or transfer (and some people really hated transfer).
The Fall season brought SEG Distinguished Lecturer Anton Ziolkowski to tell us of the seismic wavelet, well ties and the search for stratigraphic traps. Later on we heard about 3-D post and pre stack depth migration, reservoir modeling and 3-D data inversion. The Spring brought us an SEG school (2 day) by Corsden & Peirce on “Planning and Executing a 3-D Land Survey.” We also had another SEG Distinguished Lecturer, Dr. Thomas L. Davis (again), on “The Next Wave” – a presentation on past, present and future (anticipated) exploration advances.
A newly formed group of “Landmark users” met for the first time in February with Conoco hosting and Landmark representative Gary Jones presenting the program. By March the luncheon meeting attendance had topped 110 for two months – credits to Jim Flis for good programs.
The 37th Annual Meeting had a list of twelve (I counted twice to make sure) papers! The first, by tradition, was the keynote address by Dr. James D. Robertson, SEG President, on “Issues for Geophysicists and Goals for SEG”. A wide variety of topics were covered from examples in Canada, The Williston Basin and West Texas. Processing, ray tracing and even sedimentary aeromagnetics were introduced. Ex PBGS Pres. Steve Roche returned from grad studies at CSM to tell us of a proposal for a 4-D, 3 component study to monitor CO2 injection in Vacuum Field, NM. The meeting was very well attended.
