Testimonial from Jim Henderson

Steve is perfectly qualified for the role of Education and Training Director. Firstly, he already has a great track record of active involvement with the PESGB. He was awarded an Honorary Membership, having been President of the Society in 2007 and before that 1^st Vice President in 2002-2003. Among his many other contributions, Steve is also the de-facto leader of the Geophysics Special Interest Group which has organised seminars and other events for the PESGB for at least a decade.

In his last professional role at Schlumberger, he was director of the “NExT” training organization where he was responsible for organising and delivering training courses worldwide.

Steve claims to be semi-retired, but those of us who know him well realise that this is not entirely true! He is a doer, a consummate organiser and leader and most importantly, makes things happen. You can’t keep a good man down, and I am confident he will do a great job if elected onto the PESGB Council once again.

 

Testimonial from Steve Cannon

Where do I begin?  Helping me understand seismic depth conversion when we did our MSc together in 1983-85 at Birkbeck?  Roping me as Field trip Director in 2004 or talking me into organising the North Sea training course for PESGB in 2008; or helping me to create a reservoir modelling course for NExT in 2013?

Steve has been instrumental in so many PESGB conferences and training courses over the last 20 years, that he is a natural for this role at PESGB.  Education and training is the prime reason for the existence of the PESGB, apart from networking of course, and I am confident that Steve’s broad experience in the industry, both technical and from a business perspective, will once again enhance the Executive Committee and benefit those who look to the Society for relevant and effective training opportunities.  Did I mention that he has done the job before?
