Andreas Laake is the Principal Research Geophysicist at the WesternGeco Q* Advanced Research Group in Cairo. He has 21 years of experience in seismic and remote sensing with a focus on survey planning, data acquisition and data integration. He worked in marine systems engineering on the design and manufacture of streamers and airguns and later began the geophysical design work for what is now Q-Land* technology. Currently, he works on remote-sensing techniques and their integration into the seismic and reservoir work- flow. In cooperation with the European Space Agency, he developed a technique for characterization and modeling of the Earth’s near surface by integrating satellite data with geological and geophysical data. He also developed an integrated workflow for the simula- tion of near-surface effects on seismic data that allows the prediction of noise features and the generation of synthetic seismic data prior to seismic data acquisition. This technology is integrated with GIS software and Petrel* reservoir modeling. Andreas has an MSc degree in physics and geology and a PhD degree in physics and geosciences from the University of Kiel, Germany.

He is currently the Editor of Petrophysics.
Duncan Mardon is a Research Associate in Petrophysics with ExxonMobil Upstream Research Co. in Houston. He received PhD, MSc and BA degrees in geological sciences from Texas A&M University in College Station, Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, USA, and the State University of New York at New Paltz, respectively. He began his career in 1988 as a research petrophysicist with Exxon Production Research Co., conducting laboratory experimental studies on shaly sand formation evaluation. In 1993, he joined NUMAR where he worked on developing a num- ber of petrophysical applications of, and environmental corrections for, spin-echo NMR logging. Five years later, he returned to Exxon (soon to be ExxonMobil), this time with its exploration company, where he was responsible for openhole petrophysical analyses for sev- eral business unit projects and areas, including China, West Africa and the north Caspian region. In 2005, he returned to the research company, where he is involved in several projects, including petrophysical uncertainty analysis, high-angle and horizontal well evaluation and formation evaluation training.
