Workshop
Description
Compare and contrast various methods of contouring, by hand
or by computer, single surface or multi surface, nonintersecting
or intersecting surfaces, faulted or nonfaulted. You will spend
about half of your time contouring single surface, multi surface
and faulted problems. You will learn new and helpful methods of
hand contouring. |

the Instructor
Richard (Dick) B. Banks started his career as a geophysicist for
Carter Oil Company in 1953, after completing his Engineer of Geophysics
degree at the Colorado School of Mines. After a two-year Korean
hiatus, he received a M.S. degree in petroleum engineering from
the University of Texas and worked for 12 years before forming Scientific
Computer Applications (SCAI) in 1969. SCAI (Tulsa, OK) develops
and markets exploration and production software for the energy industry,
as well as doing petroleum engineering and geological consulting
around the world. Dick is a registered professional engineer in
Texas and Oklahoma. Professional organizations include AAPG, SEG,
GST, SPE, SPEE, and SIPES. |
