Resume

My career began with Amoco as a member of their tech-group for the New Orleans office. I was one of the geophysicist who received a patent for a tomographic technique which Amoco used to search for amplitude anomalies.

After leaving Amoco, my next position was with Placid Oil in Dallas where I became the lead geophysicist for their offshore Gulf of Mexico effort. We acquired several blocks and made some discoveries as well as farmed out some deep water blocks to Exxon which were successful for Exxon. I later worked at Placid’s Salt Lake City office as the District Geophysicist. While we did not make any discoveries, many of our ideas are just now being proven by the current success in Central Utah.

In late 1986 the collapse of the oil and silver markets forced Placid to drastically reduce in size. This led to a position as Processing Manager for TGS in Houston. I supervised

a group that performed processing quality control on the seismic acquired for TGS. TGS was known for their high quality speculative seismic data, and the QC provided by my group was largely responsible for that reputation.

My next position was Processing Supervisor for Geco-Prakla. As an independent consultant since leaving Geco-Prakla in 1992, my clients have included TGS, CGG, and Fugro as well as several small to midsized exploration companies.

I have experience in all types of geologic settings, both domestic and foreign. Some of the software packages I am proficient in are SMT, Hampson-Russell AVO, Seisbase III and Microsoft Office.

Sincerely,

Hal Adams
