  • This is a fantastic delivery from SEG!

    It's about time we have something that we can listen to on the go. The material covers a diverse range of topics under the geoscience umbrella and I believe that those of different levels of interest in this field would have the opportunity to seek breadth in learning through these podcasts. I just informed my colleagues about this. Hope they'll find it enjoyable too.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From Hype to Reality: What Machine Learning Can Actually Do
Q: What can attendees expect to gain from the short course?
They will get the big picture of useful machine learning tools from unsupervised to supervised, plus hands-on experience, and guidance on running the code themselves with data they bring to the course.
Why Seismic Acquisition Is Making a Quiet Comeback
Q: Across these four papers, what common theme best represents the direction seismic acquisition is heading?
A unifying theme is designing more efficient acquisitions that are reservoir-driven, enabling better inversion and future design decisions, while integrating advanced techniques like DAS, compressed sensing, and blended sources to improve imaging in complex settings.
Why Seismic Acquisition Is Making a Quiet Comeback
Q: For early career geophysicists listening to this conversation, what skills or areas of knowledge do you think will be most important to contribute to the next generation of seismic acquisition technologies?
A strong foundation in physics and wave field understanding remains essential, even as AI and ML tools grow. Imagination and the ability to design innovative acquisition concepts, informed by fundamentals, will empower future development and data-driven decision making.
Why Seismic Acquisition Is Making a Quiet Comeback
Q: When you look at these new tools that geophysicists are using to produce more accurate subsurface images, what are some of the most important innovations that you see driving that progress right now?
The emphasis is on acquiring the full wave field, with techniques like OBN and DAS, which enable full azimuth, long offsets, and integration with full waveform inversion to improve subsurface models and imaging workflows.
From Oil and Gas to Offshore Wind: Why Everyone Meets at OTC
Q: What examples of AI advanced modeling are you most excited to see showcased at the event?
AI and digital tools are foundational across the program, with standout cases in modeling and digital twins for equipment reliability, safety improvements, and supply-chain optimization, plus demonstrations of robotics and cyber-security considerations.
