2 President s Corner by Robin Broussard Members, I hope you had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. The SGS is kicking off 2016 with a joint SGS/ NOGS luncheon with guest speaker, Dr. Andrew Madof of Chevron s Energy Technology Company. Dr. Madof s talk: Integration of seismic stratigraphy and seismic geomorphology for prediction of lithology: workflows and applications should be of interest to both geologists and geophysicists. Our 2016 winter social event, SGS Evening at the Races will be held on Friday January 22, 2016 at the New Orleans Fair Grounds. We have the Paddock Mezzanine level reserved, as well as reserved seating in the Grandstand. Food, beer & wine are provided and the event is free of charge to members. I hope to see you at both of these January events. Thanks, Robin P. 1

3 January Luncheon Integration of Seismic Stratigraphy and Seismic Geomorphology for Prediction of Lithology: Workflows and Applications by Dr. Andrew Madof An unfortunate conceptual and practical separation remains between the way stratigraphers and geophysicists use seismic data. Processors use amplitude, frequency, and phase to optimize surface images, whereas interpreters use external forms, reflection terminations, and reflection configurations to unravel the stratigraphic evolution of sedimentary successions. As such, seismic stratigraphers frequently have little practical knowledge of geophysics, whereas many geophysicists lack a strong grasp of important geologic and stratigraphic concepts. To address these interdisciplinary shortcomings, we set forth an integrated approach that combines seismic stratigraphy with geophysics that bridges this nearly forty-year disciplinary divide. We propose a methodology that relies on the three wave-trace components to better understand the amplitude, frequency, and phase of post-stack data, specifically within a seismic-stratigraphic context. We build on concepts of interpreting reflection terminations in amplitude by quantifying amplitude strength, continuity, and polarity, as well as dominant frequency and bandwidth, phase angle, and wavelet shape. We advocate against the current fashion of interpreting seismic as merely three-dimensional photographs, and of classifying the seismicstratigraphic record through finer subdivisions, which surpass the limits of resolvability and detectability. This approach facilitates the development of multiple working hypotheses through quantifying data limitations and resolvability by testing seismic stratigraphic interpretations via forward synthetic models. Only through an integrative, back -to-basics approach can we focus attention towards holistic geological and geophysical analyses to establish an integrated next frontier in seismic stratigraphy. Speaker Biography Andrew is a stratigrapher with over 10 years of experience in seismic interpretation, subsurface mapping, attribute analysis, and geophysics, and is currently a senior seismic stratigrapher in the Seismic Stratigraphic Interpretation group, a team created by Henry Posamentier, in the Energy Technology Company at Chevron, in Houston TX. Andrew s expertise is in both clastic and carbonate settings, specifically in nonmarine, shallow marine, and deep water environments. He has worked on research, exploration, and reservoir management projects worldwide. Andrew's primary interests are in the tectonic controls on accommodation, and in the integration of geology, geophysics, and petrophysics. Prior to coming to Chevron in 2010, Andrew completed a PhD at Columbia University under Nicholas Christie-Blick, where his dissertation focused on the tectonic controls on clastic deposition. P. 2
