- We are proud to be one of 16 SEG EVOLVE teams worldwide in 2019. I am extremely honored to be adviser of the team and Mark Mlella is the captain. The EVOLVE program offers students direct experience in conducting multidisciplinary subsurface integration projects using real-world seismic, wireline, core, production, and other data. Using iEnergy® and the Halliburton Landmark DecisionSpace® Platform, students utilize the latest technology to facilitate the efficient passing of practical knowledge using experiential learning. Project management, teamwork skills, and business values are honed within the context of exploration, reservoir appraisal, field development planning, and production enhancement scenarios. The program also links experienced mentors to student teams, empowering the participants to solve the types of realistic challenges the students will encounter when they start working. LINK
- Our master student Mark Mlella participated SEG/Exxon Mobil Student Education Program in Anaheim CA 2018. The SEG/ExxonMobil Student Education Program (SEP) is a 2 - 2½ day short course that prepares college students for the challenges of an oil industry career. The program includes lectures and exercises directly related to geoscience/geophysical work performed in the oil industry. ExxonMobil provides course materials, team exercises and instructors. Travel grants will cover the expenses for travel, lodging, and registration to SEG's Annual Meeting. Link
- Congrats on Dr. Ming Ma's new papers "Multichannel block sparse Bayesian learning reflectivity inversion with lp-norm criterion-based Q estimation" published on Journal of Applied Geophysics, and "Multichannel impedance inversion for nonstationary seismic data based on the modified Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers" accepted on Geophysics.
- We will start accepting application for the new PhD program in Earth and Energy Science by January 2019 which will start in Fall 2019. We are especially looking for a highly motivated PhD student, who is interested in Machine Learning application on unconventional resource characterization. The successful applicant will be fully funded.
- The paper "Time-variant wavelet extraction with a local-attribute-based time-frequency decomposition for seismic inversion" authored by Dr. Rui Zhang and Dr. Sergey Fomel from the UT Austin received the award of the Best paper of 2018 in the journal Interpretation. Link
- Congrats our IBA team for the third world champion !! Link
- Media exposure about Restore Act project "An evaluation of faulting in Holocene Mississippi River delta strata through the merger of deep 3-D and 2-D seismic data with near surface imaging and measurements of vertical motion at three study areas". Link
- We are very proud to win a major Department of Energy Award "Tuscaloosa Marine Shale Laboratory (TMSL) " as a team member with total amount of funding $9,657,000. Link
