Beneath the Subsurface

In this bonus episode, we take a quick dive Beneath the Subsurface, into one of the topics mentioned in episode eight on ESG. Gabe Rolland joins the podcast again and we sit down with Alex Loureiro, Director of Marine Environment and Biology at the IAGC to discuss the Ghost Net Initiative: a marine debris removal and tracking effort.

In this episode of Beneath the Subsurface, we're focusing on ESG. We'll unpack what each of the elements are; Environment, Social and Governance, their measurement, and how they permeate our business. With growing requirements for standardizing and quantifying efforts, this discussion tackles how we at TGS are focusing on each of these efforts on a fundamental level. Jaclyn Townsend chats with Whitney Eaton and Gabe Rolland about this essential and quickly evolving topic.

Kicking off season two of Beneath the Subsurface podcast, we tackle some lingering questions and concerns that businesses are facing in the wake of the COVID crisis as well as the downturn in our industry. This double whammy has led traditionally office-based companies into remote work, challenging both individuals and teams to innovate differently. We'll discuss the growing gap between people and companies and how we can all work to bridge it.

In the final episode of Beneath the Subsurface Season One, we're focusing on Well Data Products and the full gamut of subsurface intelligence that can be gleaned from leveraging Well Data with Seismic. Caroline Brignac sits down with Jason Kegel, Ted Mirenda and Katie Fearn for a deep dive into the evolution of well data and how it’s used in today’s workflows.

In this episode of Beneath the Subsurface we're focusing on Latin America and how the recent Spectrum acquisition has enriched and expanded TGS' data library. Erica interviews Richie Miller and David Hajovsky, our experts in this prolific region. We'll explore the hottest regions in the South Atlantic margin as well as the bidding climate in Brazil and the path forward for data and technology investments.

In this episode of Beneath the Subsurface we turn back time with Daniel Orange, our ONE Partner for multibeam technology and seafloor mapping - and incredible storyteller - and Duncan Bate, our Director of Project Development in the Gulf of Mexico and Geosciences. Dan takes Duncan and Erica on an expansive journey through time to meet a special variety of archea that dwell in the impossible oases surrounding sea bottom vents. We also explore the relatively recent discoveries in geoscience leading to seafloor mapping and how seep hunting offshore can enrich the exploration process today.

In this episode of Beneath the Subsurface we introduce our Geoscience and Data & Analytics intern teams for our summer internship program. Erica kicks off the episode with Jason and Sri talking about how the programs have come about and changed overtime here at TGS, how they select and recruit for the program, and the scope of the projects that the internships tackle this summer. Erica then spends time with both teams of interns discussing the experience in the program, what they’ve learned, and everything they’ll be taking away and applying back to their studies and upcoming careers.

In the second episode of Beneath the Subsurface we pick back up with a deep dive into onshore seismic technology in unconventional plays. Wayne Millice, Mike Perz, and Jason Kegel dig through seismic technologies, pre-stack seismic attributes, acquisition developments, and our predictions for the future of seismic and the unconventional realm. Erica Conedera, your host, new to the onshore seismic world, explores the challenges and sometimes over-hyped solutions with onshore acquisition and processing with our guests.

In the inaugural episode of Beneath the Subsurface, we delve into the exciting realm of AI and Machine Learning as a blossoming new part of the energy industry. Arvind Sharma and Robert Gibson discuss and debate the impacts of disruptive technology, the importance of robust data libraries when building AI solutions, and the future of our industry with AI and ML solutions. With your host for the episode, Erica Conedera, we explore the factors that pushed our slow moving industry to this tipping point in technology and where it could be leading us.

David Hajovski and Erica Conedera welcome you to Beneath the Subsurface, a TGS original podcast. Our mission is to provide our listeners with insights into the current climate of the energy industry through expert voices talking about the biggest topics in E&P, geoscience, subsurface data and technology. If you enjoy listening to erudite experts nerd out and debate about the energy industry, you're in the right place!
