Megan Smith works as a senior reservoir geophysicist with Woodside Energy, Perth, WA. Her area of interest is quantitative seismic interpretation. With 12 years industry experience, Megan has been involved extensively in the 4D interpretation of the first dedicated monitor survey in Australia, 4D feasibility and rock physics work, AVO studies, seismic inversions and interpretation. Megan has also worked for Shell in the Netherlands, Exxon-Mobil and Santos. megan.smith@woodside.com.au |
Andre Gerhardt works as a principal geophysicist with Woodside Energy. His interests include seismic processing and quantitative seismic interpretation with 20 years industry experience. Andre has been involved extensively in the feasibility and rock physics studies, AVO analysis and seismic inversions of Enfield 4D, the first dedicated monitor survey in Australia. Andre has previously worked for Petrobras in Brazil and CSIRO in Australia. andre.gerhardt@woodside.com.au |
Angelika Wulff is a geophysicist and works at Woodside Energy as rock physics advisor with focus on 4D seismic and quantitative interpretation. Before joining Woodside she was the rock physics focal point at Fugro-Jason and involved in software development, training and quality assurance. She became interested in 4D seismic through reservoir monitoring studies during her time at Sintef Petroleum (Norway). Rock physics was topic of her PhD and several research projects in Germany and Japan. angelika.wulff@woodside.com.au |
Benjamin Mee is the Enfield asset geologist at Woodside Energy, Perth, WA. His professional interests include reservoir modelling, depositional geology, integrated reservoir characterisation, and quantitative seismic interpretation in the Development Function. He has worked at Woodside Energy for seven years in roles that span frontier and near-field exploration, QI support services, and more recently several geology and geophysics roles in both LNG developments and oil producing assets. benjamin.mee@woodside.com.au |
Laurent Bourdon is working as principal development geophysicist with Woodside Energy. Following years years mining field work in Dominican Republic, he joined Shell 22 years ago and worked around the globe: UK, Turkey, Brunei, Nigeria, Netherlands, Malaysia and Australia. An explorationist at heart, he specialised in development and field re-development projects. He is passionate about seismic interpretation new technology, Virtual Reality, 3D visualisation and has been closely associated with Shell initiatives in these domains. laurent.bourdon@woodside.com.au |
Tom Ridsdill-Smith is the reservoir geophysics team leader at Woodside. His professional interests include reservoir monitoring, quantitative interpretation, seismic acquisition and processing and non-seismic methods including CSEM, gravity and magnetics. He has been working at Woodside since 2000 after completing his PhD in Mathematical Geophysics at the University of Western Australia. Prior to this he worked at World Geoscience Corporation on airborne geophysics. tom.ridsdill-smith@woodside.com.au |
