Gibson, Jr., the company’s president and chief executive officer, has been selected to give the keynote speech at the 2007 Data Fusion Workshop to be held October 14-18 in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Gibson, who is recognized as one of the most influential IT people in the oil patch, will address the current E&P challenge of integrating multidisciplinary datasets to create unified reservoir models for improved reliability and predictability.
A visionary and thought leader, Gibson has more than 25 years of experience leading organizations in the global energy industry. He is a well-respected and sought-after industry advocate and spokesperson. Prior to joining Paradigm in April 2005, Gibson served as president of Halliburton Energy Services, where he managed the company’s energy-related operations.
Data Fusion is a joint, interdisciplinary workshop sponsored by the Society of Exploration Geophysicists, the American Association of Petroleum Geologists and the Society of Petroleum Engineers. The workshop will focus on techniques of data fusion — the process of combining subsurface data and knowledge from heterogeneous sources to build realistic, geologically sound reservoir models.
