Introduction to February Focus: Geophysics in Québec
Jean M. Legault and Oliver Kuhn
…Oliver Kuhn Technical Editor: Ruth Peach Format Editor: Elizabeth Atkinson In the same way that Quebec is rich in mineral and energy resources, it has a rich and long history in exploration geophysics. For most of us that live and work outside of Quebec, there is a level of mystery…

Junior Geophysicists Forum (JGF)
JGF Committee
…Oliver Kuhn (Divestco/Geo-X Processing Division), the outgoing president of the CSEG, was our first speaker. Oliver talked about the importance of networking. He emphasized how much networking has helped him and others during their careers and encouraged people entering the industry to develop networking skills and take advantage of networking…
Mike Corrigan
An Interview with Mike Corrigan
…Oliver]: I have known you for a while Mike – would it be fair to say that your career has reflected the changing face of the Calgary Oil Industry? I would say so Oliver. As I said, I graduated and took a job in mining, and in 1982 Hudson’s Bay…
Satinder Chopra
An Interview with Satinder Chopra
…Oliver]: Well, this is different, with you on the other side of the table! I’ll start, as usual, by asking about your educational background and your career – introduce yourself to our members, though you don’t need any introduction really. I grew up in Shimla, the capital city of Himachal…
CSEG History – A Random “On-Line” Browse
Ron Larson
…Oliver Kuhn. The SEG convention returned to Canada in 1977 for the second time. There is a common thread between the two conventions and Canadian SEG Presidents. Norm Christie was SEG President when the 1963 event came to Calgary; Roy Lindseth was the second Canadian SEG President in 1977. Norm…

Magnetotellurics in Exploration for Geothermal Targets
José Antonio Rodríguez, Mehran Gharibi, Oliver Kuhn
…Abstract The increasing demand to develop renewable energy resources has driven a surge in interest in geothermal sources, both for power generation and for direct use of heat, or for a combination of both. The most economically attractive geothermal projects are those that exploit a naturally occurring, high-temperature hydrothermal reservoir.…
Introduction to June Focus: Central Canada
Oliver Kuhn and Jean Legault
…Mining and near surface applications dominate the exploration geophysics sector in Central Canada. In our search for articles, rather than just focusing in those two areas, we also looked for other geophysical applications that would provide readers a broader and more interesting range of topics. Therefore in addition to a…
Introduction to September Focus: Emerging Methods and Technologies
Oliver Kuhn and Neda Boroumand
…The original vision for this RECORDER edition’s theme was that we would feature a collection of articles that focused on new, leading edge geophysical technologies in applied use. We fell short of that goal, and that is probably because entirely new geophysical technologies are rare, and most of what is…
Introduction to June Focus: Western Canadian Mineral Exploration Geophysics
Jean M. Legault and Oliver Kuhn
…Western Canada is well known for its oil and gas sector, but the minerals sector is also an important part of the resource extraction economy. For CSEG readers not familiar with the minerals sector, a closer look will reveal many parallels with the oil and gas world: dramatic up and…
Why Did I Apply Pre-Stack Interpolation to a Tightly Shot Plains 3-D?
Lee Hunt; Pat McKenny and Dave Levesque; Glenn Hauer and Oliver Kuhn
…Summary A 3-D seismic survey was purchased over a channel sand development play that was known to be charged with gas, oil, and water. The 3-D seismic data was of very high quality, and it was initially felt that finding a structurally high location with indications of good reservoir quality…
Ancient Chinese Drilling
Oliver Kuhn
…Some time ago the RECORDER published an article of mine (December 2000, Odyssey of Oil). That article took a look at some ancient oil industries from around the world, and drew parallels between those ancient industries and our modern oil industry. Readers of that article would have detected in the…
CSEG National Conventions – Past, Present and Future
Oliver Kuhn
…The first National Convention of the CSEG was held in April, 1973 against a politically volatile backdrop. The year began with oil prices hovering in the $2.50 per barrel range. An Arab oil embargo triggered by the Arab-Israeli war disrupted oil flows and triggered panic buying; later in the year…
CSEG Convention Historical Posters
Oliver Kuhn
…In April of 1973, at the first ever CSEG National Convention, Pete Savage was the first author of a technical paper, “Shallow Marine Hovercraft Operations – Mackenzie Delta”. Now, thirty-one years later at the 2004 National Convention, Pete is first author of several posters, ten to be exact! But these…
Focus Intro: Stratigraphy-Plays, Software, Processing
Oliver Kuhn
…The last decade or two has seen seismic interpretation become less qualitative and more quantitative. Geophysicists now commonly work closely in teams with geologists and engineers, who think of the subsurface in terms of lithology and real rock properties. Numerous new techniques and methodologies have evolved to help move geophysicists…
Odyssey of Oil
Oliver Kuhn
…Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. Genesis 6:14 Noah is instructed here to make his ark watertight by caulking it with pitch. In this context pitch refers to bitumen - thick, jellied crude…
David Paterson
An Interview with David Paterson
…Oliver]: And you did some summer fieldwork. That’s right – during summer breaks at university I worked in mineral exploration - undergrads were a source of cheap labor for the mining companies, and it provided the students with some geology exposure. A win-win situation! We would work every day for…
