Jose-Hernan Sr. Geophysicist

Cali, Colombia
Management Operational

Since I completed all graduate courses required for a Master’s degree on Exploration
Geophysics in 1991(No Thesis), I have been continuously working in the Seismic Acquisition
industry. I went from a field geophysicist to a Senior Geophysicist with Western Geophysical at
the Latin American Operations Division, I have gained an strong foundation leading and
supporting the quality control departments under my responsibility during acquisition, planning
and geophysical parameter control; supervising and training field geophysicists on the several
steps required for assuring a high quality seismic data on the several terrain types. The ongoing
technical developments, my background and good aptitude towards learning and team working
maintain a challenge in my career. The analytical skills, the strong commitment to get the job
well done, and the challenge to research new processing technologies and quality procedures, are
always present with me. My experience with several recording techniques, energy sources, diverse
terrains, expertise on 3D processing techniques, gained technical trainings are quite extensive.
Also involved on several safety courses as HSE Management System, STOP, explosives on
seismic operations and others related.
My most recent experience it is on Management especially for International companies, opening
operations and hiring Administrative and Technical personnel. I would like to move to another
industry if possible according to my experience and aptitude towards learning and good
leadership of working groups. I am very organized oriented to reach good and effective results,
adjusting them constantly.
