Sir Rowley Birkin......He reminds me so very much of someone I knew many years ago, now sadly departed, had tales of Schooldays at Repton, serving in the Indian Army on horseback, playing cricket (for Cheshire?) dating a certain Miss Dempster heiress to the Elder Dempster shipping line and sorting out the personal fortunes of the Sultan of Oman.
Bertie Wooster territory without a doubt. Times gone by.....

... or you are the only one NOT laughing at Benny Hill......

I thought you were making that up, but...

No way. We only used to make things up in seismic data reprocessing - need a fault, you get one. Need a hotspot - you get one.
I've been asked many a time to put them into old 2D lines to tie them in with 3D survey data.
Western Geco closed our offices in Hanover in 2003 and, after a 7-month stint as a consultant for the reprocessing of hundreds of kilometres of 2D over geothermal prospects in Tuscany, (business trips to Pisa are wonderful!) I am now happily running my own translation business here in Germany.

Ex Senior Geophysicist - horizon and amplitude bender

Makes you wonder what they would make of E.L.Wisty?

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Well, that's what it says in the final report.

"we applied an empirical process to extrapolate reflectivity coefficients in the frequency-wave number domain with a view to preserving amplitude relationships and finalised the correlated data set with a horizon dependent, cross-line, predictive deconvolution and subsequent FX-filtering to reduce multiples, enhance continuity and emphasise micro-faulting in the target area"
(which is absolute rubbish)

Funny - now I'm working predominantly for the marketing and advertising industry, I hardly notice the difference.)
