Happy New Year! People often ask me what is the benefit of putting an announcement in this column? The first and most important reason is to share your contact information with the industry. The other reason is that you can show your parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, children, siblings or anyone else your name in print. If you have a new baby, a birth announcement with a picture is a great memento for a baby book. So this is my sales job for the year!
The Doodlespiel is later this month and we will be attending. We hope to see you all there, and hope the weather cooperates.

Kelly will be officially designated as Vice President, but will share those duties with Jeff.
Kelly and Jeff have had successful careers in geophysics spanning over 30 years. They are well known within the Canadian seismic processing industry and have been processing at Apoterra on behalf of their clients for several months. They were the founders of Spectrum Seismic Processing in January 1996 and ran that business until it was sold to Divestco in June 2007. Kelly is well known in the CSEG community for volunteer activities in several roles, including Director of Finance.
Oliver has taken a position as CEO of Quantec and will be moving to Toronto to assume those duties at the beginning of 2014. He will be missed by all of us at Apoterra and Sigma and indeed, the Calgary geophysical community.
