`9/01 – 10/02
`At the time, the SEG was a 19,000+ international-member organization. It has since grown
`to over 35,000 members. Traveled extensively world-wide representing the society, working
`with regional society affiliates, student sections, and other geo-science societies. Grew
`number of student sections by 10% (99 to 110). Helped to develop and evolve SEG’s web-

`

`
`Walter Lynn, C.V.
`President – PGS Data Processing
`7/94 – 6/99
`Responsible for overseeing PGS data processing worldwide. Company grew 65% per year
`in personnel and revenue from 1994 thru 1998. Growth required two major reorganizations.
`Additionally, the growth of the company put many people in supervisory and management
`positions for which they were not well prepared. I handled this with an aggressive
`supervisory, management and project management training effort.
`
`Executive Vice President Technology – PGS Tensor, Inc
`(formerly Grant Tensor Geophysical Corporation)
`Responsible for seismic data-processing and acquisition technology. Oversaw development
`of seismic data processing on massively parallel processors, high-end data processing in the
`field, and integration of several third-party software packages into PGS Tensor's processing
`system. Managed the development of the first commercial 3-D pre-stack depth migration
`system on parallel computers.
`
`8/91 - 6/94
`
`President – Lynn Inc.
`1/91 - 7/91
`Consulting on seismic imaging, velocity estimation, modeling, and amplitude-vs.-offset
`research and software development, and geophysical training projects. Also served as Chief
`Financial Officer, installed and maintained corporate accounting and payroll on the
`computer.
`
`Project Manager, R&D – Western Geophysical Co.
`12/79 - 1/91
`Designed and managed the development of seismic velocity and modeling software.
`Conducted numerous research projects related to seismic imaging and seismic-noise
`suppression techniques. Consulted with company and client personnel on problems and
`issues related with acquiring, processing, and interpreting reflection seismic data. R&D
`training liaison and frequent speaker at local and international exploration geophysics
`meetings.
`
`Graduate Research Assistant
`Dept. of Geophysics, Stanford University.
`Performed fundamental research in reflection seismology while working in the Stanford
`Exploration Project. Taught geophysical seminars to graduate students and mentored
`students in the Professional Masters program.

`RECENT PROJECTS:
`o Pioneer Resources: Assisted in processing QC of 3D full-azimuth P-P survey.
`o Jetta Operating Company: Assisted in processing QC of 3D full-azimuth P-P survey and
`azimuthal simultaneous inversion. Integrated azimuthal and isotropic seismic attributes with
`down-hole logs, frac data and micro-seismic data for predicting optimal drilling and frac
`locations.
`o El Paso E&P Company, L.P.: QC’d and integrated azimuthal velocity information with
`isotropic seismic attributes and production data for optimizing drilling locations.
`o Devon Energy: Have worked on numerous wide azimuth P-P surveys with the goal of
`identifying the hydrocarbon potential and fracturing characteristics of gas-rich shales. Lynn
`Inc. continues to provide this service to Devon Energy. Many sub-projects have included
`applied research and development to understand processing and interpretation issues.
`Studied numerical correlations between production and other well information with seismic
`attributes, azimuthal velocity and AVO, seismic inversions and micro-seismicity. Have also
`worked with 2 multi-component P-S surveys acquired in a wide-azimuth mode. Nearly all
`this work is in conjunction with the geoscientists and reservoir engineers.
`o Participating on the Advisory Committee of several M.S. degree students at the Colorado
`School of Mines.
`o Occidental Qatar: Worked in processing and interpreting two offshore 3-D multi-
`component datasets. Wrote programs to compute azimuthal velocity, eta and AVO.
`Received and worked with over 200 volumes of seismic data including P-P, P-S travel
`times, amplitudes and associated attributes. The characterization and mapping of vertical
`aligned fractures that flow fluids was the number one objective for these surveys. Project
`was completed and delivered on time.
`o Apache: Interpreted P-P and P-S data for an onshore survey in Canada to identify drilling
`targets. Project was urgent and was accomplished in 8 weeks.
`o Several clients: Seismic attribute correlation with production and water. We use seismic
`attributes that represent rock strength (e.g. elastic inversion volumes), paleo-strain (e.g.
`curvature volumes) and unequal horizontal stress (azimuthal velocity and AVO) . We have
`developed methodologies using commercial and proprietary software to examine and
`correlate numerous (often nearly 150) attributes either individually or in combinations with
`production information. The methodology is honed to deliver useful results to reservoir
`engineers in a timely manner.
