Tracing the Industry

GIVING BACK...

Many people in our geophysical community give unselfishly of their time and resources in volunteer work outside the geophysical community. The RECORDER committee would like to give our members an opportunity to share their experiences and details of the charity that they support. If you would like to write a piece for this portion of the column, please contact me. – CS

Lynn Chotowetz – Canadian Natural Resources Ltd.

It’s said that the first lesson a Western-mind planning work in Africa must learn is that his plan won’t work. Yet, even on my second visit to South Africa I, along with 12 other Calgarians, arrived in the middle of a refugee camp with a tightly gripped blue print and a detailed time line to build a 5000 sq. ft community/feeding center. The simple objective was to command the standing skeleton of an existing abandoned structure, rebuild it, and finish and fill the place with needed items. We had 3 weeks. And we prepared accordingly.

But upon arrival we learned the old structure wasn’t exactly as we’d been told, and the chief in charge of it wasn’t interested in sharing with the rest of his community anyway.

Time to re-evaluate.

Our host organization had already purchased new, bare land—it sat at the community’s eastern edge, a sort of transition space crossed daily by village women seeking the flat, hot savannah and picking arm loads of firewood from beneath those low, twisted trees. But first, before a feeding centre could begin, a toilet needed digging. A big toilet: twenty feet by eight feet and thirteen feet down through the steamy, red African topsoil and grey, cemented clay. And the excavated toilet dirt was needed, to be mixed by hand with cement and shoveled into a hand-operated machine squeezing out wet bricks to build the walls of the centre.

So we, and four local men who’d volunteered to help, swung picks and shoveled dirt, passing the few available tools among one another as we tired. The air crackled above 38 degrees and the sun hung directly above us that day—and then the next seven—as we stood together swinging, shoveling and passing.

The hole grew deeper. But it was slow, and finally, one evening as the team gathered to eat and recollect the day, an engineer among us unraveled. “Why the hell are we doing this,” he asked. “We could’ve hired a backhoe, dug the hole in an hour, bought bricks, and then had a chance at finishing something useful for these people.”

The rest of us were silent: mostly wondering, “Yeah…why?”

Later that night, sensing our frustration, the lanky, white, South African project director for the community, George, gathered us. He stared at us a long while, then smiled. “You don’t know what you’re doing,” he said.

“For seven days you—white, rich Canadians—have stood in a muddy hole rubbing sweaty shoulders with poor, black Africans. After decades of apartheid, decades of being taught they were useless, decades of forgetting their own strength and dignity, those African men are realizing more in that hole than you’ll ever understand. Don’t underestimate your actions.

Lesson learned: work in Africa won’t go as planned. Sometimes, that’s a good thing.

Nine teams, initiated, trained and facilitated by Westside King’s Church, have flown for 3-week trips to Africa— Zambia and South Africa—in the past 18 months, working on home-based care, construction projects, youth mentoring, health training and whatever else has surprised teams upon runway arrival. I’ve been lucky enough to help plan and coordinate most of those trips. New mistakes and lessons arise each time we go, but the compassion and energy and usefulness exhibited by those from this city that go, shock me. Each team has made an impact. Next year we plan to send more.

And in October this year, my wife and I will pack up, rent out and fly back to South Africa for a year to begin a youth mentorship program. UNICEF says there are 10-15 million orphans in southern Africa today and guesses there will be 30 million in 3 more years. That would leave more orphan kids than adults in certain areas there.

George, the lanky South African director, sees it around him. These kids are doomed, he says. Unless the highest potential performers among them rise, attend university, and lead their peers as doctors, politicians, social workers, they are doomed. So, at George’s request, we will develop and run a program developing character and boosting academics to help the most promising students into university. And we are combing Calgary to raise scholarships to make it happen.

It’s a hard time to leave a booming industry, but we’ve met the kids. And we’ve committed to a plan. Certainly, plans may change. But it’s something I’m getting used to.

HOW I GOT INVOLVED IN GEOPHYSICS...

This portion of the Tracing the Industry column is where people share how they became involved in this strange industry. Geophysics seems to be an “accidental” profession. Not many seem to start out with the goal of becoming a geophysicist. Each month I like to have someone trace their pathway into geophysics. This month, we are fortunate that two people have decided to share their path with you. If you would like to share your story, please let me know! – CS

Graeme Gibson – Husky Energy Inc.

Along with many other contributors to this column, for me, geophysics was somewhat of an ‘accidental’ career choice for me. Unlike a number of those who would end up in geophysics at university, I had actually researched what a geophysicist could be expected to do, and I had even selected my program to include geophysics… Oceanography & Geophysics to be exact!

Everyone growing up needs some inspirational stories or heroes to form dreams of what they will do when they reach adulthood. For me, influences during my young years included novels by Clive Cussler, movies like The Abyss, and the real life achievements of Jacques Cousteau. In addition, the amazing achievements of test pilot, turned astronaut, turned SeaLab scientist and author, Scott Carpenter was also a great source of inspiration. All of these influences led me to believe that the best possible career for me was Oceanography. I foresaw eventually attending the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute in Massachusetts (associated with M.I.T.), but I could not make such a move straight-off. I am sure that growing up on a ranch my entire life, hundreds of miles away from the ocean, probably gave me a certain fascination with the sea.

In any case, I was headed for a career in Oceanography. When it came time to register, however, I found that you couldn’t simply take Oceanography… you needed to combine it with another discipline (like Physics, Chemistry, Biology, or… you guessed it… Geophysics!). At that point, I didn’t know anything about geophysics, but I went to the local library and researched it. When I read about the numerous job descriptions of a geophysicist, and the huge variety of possible careers, I felt that I could do much worse than learning geophysics. Besides, I was very strong in Physics and Math, and in science in general, so it felt like a good fit.

At the University of British Columbia, I straight-away took an introductory geophysics course, Geophysics 120, to see what it was all about. I loved it, and when the time came to re-declare my specialization, I chose pure Honours Geophysics… I never took one oceanography course!

After a few years of returning home during the summer to work in forestry, I decided that I needed to get experience in the field of geophysics, and stayed in Vancouver to work. It was a complete disaster! My first job was working for a geophysical consulting company, contracting out to a Swedish mining company working at the Myra Falls mine site, Vancouver Island. The system we w e re hired to operate was a proprietary down-hole TEM (Transient Electro-Magnetic) system. Unfortunately, the labels and instructions were in Swedish! With the large time zone difference between the West Coast and Sweden, we were short on help. In the end, that turned out to be the least of our worries as midway through the project, disaster struck! Apparently, during the appropriating of the underground drilling setup for the down-hole survey, the drillers (or geophysicist) didn’t secure the tool to the spool properly. At an inopportune time, another driller showed up, distracting everyone from watching the drilling line as the tool was being lowered down the hole. All of a sudden everyone looked in horror as the last of the drill string followed the tool in its fall to the bottom of the drill hole, over a kilometre deep! After a few more days of standby as they attempted to recover the tool, we headed back to Vancouver. My first experience with geophysics was less than perfect!

Luckily for me and my dreams of becoming a geophysicist, my next summer was much more successful and exciting. I was hired by Amerok Geosciences Ltd., based out of Whitehorse, Yukon, and owned by a top notch geophysicist and geologist, Mike Powers. That summer we worked in various field locations across the Yukon and Alaska, carrying out many different types of geophysical surveys for environmental and mining purposes.

I learned much that summer, but one thing that stuck was that consulting wasn’t necessarily exploration. Courses taken in my last two years at UBC opened my eyes to the real possibility of working in petroleum exploration, and I decided that I was very much interested in the related disciplines (petroleum geology, seismic interpretation, well-log interpolation). Although I did spend nearly a year post-graduation in Vancouver working for another geophysical consulting company, in various field locations including British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, Washington, Alaska, and the Philippines (that is another story, all unto itself), my eyes were now on Calgary, and the promises of finding a full and exciting career in petroleum exploration.

In the spring of 2001, my girlfriend, Andrea, (now my wife) and I made the move to Calgary, and after some anxious moments, were both successful with finding work. I started with Geo-X Systems Ltd, processing seismic data. Looking back on the past five winters of seismic processing, I once again marvel at the number of hard-working, talented, and fun members of this dynamic industry I have met.

This past March I resigned from Geo-X Systems Ltd. to pursue the career that I had envisioned when I first came to Calgary, that of an interpretative geophysicist. I am very pleased and excited to be joining Husky Energy Inc.’s Southern Alberta & Southern Saskatchewan team in this capacity. It has been quite a ride so far!

Francois Aubin – CGG Canada Services Ltd.

I came to the seismic industry as a programmer, which I refer to as the back door. It may come as a surprise to many of you who have known me for a couple of decades. Let us go back a couple more decades. I was born and raised in a small village in Northwestern Québec 400 miles from Montréal. In my teens, I was attracted to the clouds and decided to go into meteorology. I also decided at that time that I wanted, or needed, to learn English. It turned out to be a good combination: the only university in Canada offering an undergraduate degree in meteorology was McGill. Off to the big city at 20 to pursue a first goal: learning English, and a second goal: earning a degree. I managed to achieve both, even though some of you might argue that my persistent accent shows that I did not achieve my first goal. That is where I started learning programming with punched cards (if ‘punched cards’ does not mean anything to you, find an older programmer to explain). Summer jobs included mining exploration field work, very fitting for coming from a mining area of Canada, which gave me a taste of what seismic field work might be like.

With my degree in hand but no work in my field, I worked for a year in a high school doing lab prep work. Off to school again: I worked towards a master degree in oceanography. Added to the studies were field trips on a boat on the St. Lawrence estuary and gulf, wonderful experience providing me with some insights on what an offshore seismic acquisition crew might be like. While finishing my M.Sc. thesis, I moved to Victoria, B.C., to work under contract as a research assistant/programmer modeling the movement of icebergs off the East Coast of Newfoundland. Yes, it is one of those idiosyncrasies of federal government: doing work on the west coast for a project on the east coast, go figure. In those days, the largest oceanographic research center in Canada was in Ottawa. After a year and a half in Victoria and the contract running out, I got a choice between two offers: Calgary or Lausanne, Switzerland. Some might think I was crazy, but I landed in Calgary in 1980. It is interesting how some things happen: when moving from Rimouski, Québec to Victoria, B.C. a couple of years earlier, I told myself while driving through Calgary: this is a place I could live in. Somehow, Calgary felt right as a dynamic place. It still does: the mentality, the pace, the people. It is to be noted that I was moving east when I came to Calgary, not west, which excluded me from being one of Klein’s ‘eastern bums and creeps’.

After a year and a half in environmental consulting work in Calgary as a research assistant/programmer modeling the movement of ice sheets in the Beaufort Sea, I started looking for something else: that is when I realized that the most satisfying part of my work experience was the people, not the task at hand.

I came to Geodigit/CGG in December 1981 as a programmer, and I quickly turned from a programmer into a very demanding user. Doing user support and delivering services for clients on interactive software in modeling, databasing, interpretation: everything should be possible I would tell the programmers. In 1988, I got the opportunity to move my family to France for two years: great experience that we all benefited from in many aspects.

Right after leaving Calgary to go to Paris and not knowing if I would come back, I realized that Calgary was truly home for me. I came back in 1990 processing seismic data. After a couple of years back in Calgary, with 2D, 3D, land and marine processing experience in my backpack, I decided to check out what else was “out there”. I was privileged to be part of a small team bringing Veritas into the foothills processing. Wanting to do more than process seismic data, I took on my own to broaden my horizon. I joined Toastmasters, took a Dale Carnegie sales course, and went into sales and marketing when leaving Veritas in 1998.

Kelman (KTI) allowed me to apply and refine my skills and greatly further my career.

Needing a change after six years at Kelman, CGG again offered me an opportunity to grow further. Being at the forefront of all aspects of the seismic business is very demanding and challenging for a company, but at the same time very rewarding.

My recommendation to those coming into this business: find your niche, find what motivates you, and be ready to change all along your career. Changes imposed by the market, changes coming with the technology, changes due to your own maturity. Let’s not forget that this business is all about people. Work hard, enjoy what you do, and reap the rewards.
