Michael Gidding, operating as Third i Geoscience, is a consulting geoscientist with over 30 years of experience in delivering robust seismic interpretations in arenas ranging from new venture reviews to field development. Michael is an early pioneer and active proponent of 3D canvas-based seismic interpretation and, in addition to consulting services, offers both training and mentoring in this approach.
Application of over 30 years experience in exploration and development projects spanning 4 continents to interpretation projects that need imaginative and robust solutions. Consulting services available in client offices or the Third i office.
“A Modern Approach to Seismic Interpretation” is a 5 day workshop-style course using the Petrel Suite. Geoscientists are guided through interpretation of a seismic data set using the 3D Window as the primary interpretation canvas. The 3D Window affords a number of efficiencies over the Interpretation Window that have significant impact on both speed of delivery and quality of the final interpretation.
Desk-side and virtual coaching are effective ways to migrate geoscientists into 3D canvas-based interpretation. Whether they are new to Petrel or are having trouble letting go of the habits ingrained by outdated software, peer assists can kick-start a whole new approach to interpretation, communication and delivery.
