LIVE WEBINAR: Delft Inversion – Elastic Synthetics, Wavefields & Well-Ties

Guest Speaker(s): John Coffin (Delft Inversion)

John Coffin is the Business Manager Asia-Pacific for Delft Inversion. He is a graduate in Geophysics from the University of Leicester and has been employed in the energy industry for over 30 years. John has worked for Digicon, SSL, Schlumberger, Hampson-Russell, Veritas and CGG in a variety of roles across the full spectrum of seismic acquisition, processing, and  interpretation. In 1993 he started the first overseas office for Hampson-Russell in London and has been directly involved in the geophysical software business ever since. When he  transferred to Perth in 2004, he continued the growth of Hampson-Russell for the Asia-Pacific region becoming the primary AVO and inversion software vendor. This then became a part of CGG and ultimately ended in 2020 with CGG restructuring and the impact of COVID-19. So, all up 27 years at Hampson-Russell with 16 in Perth, a great run.

John then joined Delft Inversion and for the past 2 years has been establishing a place for WEB-AVO technology (Wave Equation Based AVO Inversion) and the HELIOS software in Asia-Pacific. Just recently he has published new WEB-AVO case studies out of Australia and China. Today, his focus is to see WEB-AVO deliver on its promises as the next generation of AVO inversion. John is an active member of ASEG, SEG, EAGE, PESA, and SEAPEX.
