I welco me you to attend the SEG’s International Exposition and 87th Annual Meeting in Houston! This year, as al ways, experts will be presenting the latest develop ments in applied geophysics. The meeting is the centerpiece of SEG’s year and provides opportunities to interact with business connections, meet with colleagues, and develop ne w net works.

Many thanks for the hard work and excellent planning of the SE G Global Event sta f, Annual Meeting Steering Co m mittee chaired by Craig Beasley, the Technical Progra m Co m mittee chaired by Mihai Popovici with Co-chair Sergey Fo mel, and the Exhibition Chair Car men Co mis. The co m mittees maintain and i mprove the quality and character of our Annual Meeting. This year, the progra m will be bigger and better than ever because we have expanded the exposition loor, and we have received a record nu mber of sub missions for presentations.

Before and after the meeting, there are opportunities for you to attend the preconvention continuing-education courses and postconvention workshops. These are signature events bringing top leaders in their ield to provide guidance and facilitate ne w thinking. And

during the meeting, there will be nu merous opportunities to engage in meetings on the exposition loor, technical lunches, and special social events.

It’s Houston 2017! You need to be there.

Sincerely,

Bill AbrielSEG President 2016–2017

3L E T T E R F R O MT H E H O U S T O N G E N E R A L C H AI R

It is a distinct pleasure to welco me you to Houston, my (al most) ho meto wn and host of the 2017 Society of Exploration Geophysicists Annual Meeting and Exhibition. No w that for malities are out of the way, let’s get right to the point. At the ti me of this writing, the energy business cli mate that supports our society and its activities has a mixed outlook at best. While oil prices have recovered so me what fro m the lo ws of a year ago, today there is uncertainty concerning the future of the oil markets. Will OPEC deals hold and what would be the i mpact? Even if they do, can producers turn on the spigot at any bu mp in pricing? Will political events conspire to create gro wth and build de mand or will there be instabilities that put a da mper on the industry? Narro wing the scope to geophysics, will oil co mpanies need to build their prospect portfolios thus adding to de mand for seis mic surveys and technology? What about other resource-based geophysical markets? Don’t expect ans wers fro m me on these questions, and further, I would advise wariness when so meone clai ms to kno w the ans wers.

Indeed, these are the sa me questions I have seen during the (too many) do wnturns that have occurred during my ti me in this business. I don’t mean to make light of these issues – people’s lives and livelihoods are a fected and si milarly, our 2017 SEG meeting is a fected. People say it’s di ferent this ti me, and it is, but it is al ways di ferent. The larger point is, world oil consu mption continues to rise, and by all credible esti mates ( warning, my opinion!), petroleu m de mand will continue to rise and will require geophysical technology for decades to co me.

Nobody kno ws when a breakthrough will co me that spells the death of petroleu m, but I won’t make the mistake of a for mer SEG president who (in the 1950s) clai med to see the end of the oil industry co ming due to the inexorable advance of ato mic po wer. So much for predictions. I

a m conident that our business will turn up again in the not-too-distant future, but nobody kno ws exactly when. One thing for sure, when it does, it will be a ne w business with ne w technologies, strengthened by this do wnturn. Which brings me to the point of this discussion as it relates to the 2017 Houston meeting.

Dra wing on past experience, the SEG Annual Meeting is the best place to take steps to weather the do wnturn and e merge stronger. If you are an individual, it is the best place to upgrade your skills through continuing education, technical sessions and workshops, and net work with co mpanies and other geophysicists. If you are representing a co mpany, it is the best place to spread your message to the world’s largest geophysical audience, meet with custo mers and suppliers to make deals and learn what’s ne w in the market. We are keenly a ware of the cost and ti me that are required and your 2017 Annual Meeting Steering Co m mittee has worked hard to enhance the value of the Annual Meeting for co mpanies and individuals.

The the me of our meeting revolves around putting technology to work. This is a co mplex process that stretches fro m cutting-edge R & D to product develop ment to marketing and sales. We introduce a ne w feature this year designed to enhance interaction bet ween exhibitors and the

technical and operational co m munities by carving out fro m the technical progra m a full t wo hours around lunch to allo w concentrated ti me on the exhibition loor. Exhibitors can sub mit their “Focus on Co m mercial Technology” booth presentations to be pro moted by SEG during the t wo hour lunch break, so attendees can plan and opti mize their exposition loor ti me, much as they do in attending technical sessions. This is just one exa mple of innovations we bring to enhance the meeting’s value.

Needless to say, you can expect fa miliar SEG activities such as the Honors and A wards Cere monies, the Icebreaker, and the Wednesday night Wrap-up Party, as well as the world’s inest geophysical technical progra m and exposition. Ho wever, mindful of costs, we have taken the opportunity also to sunset a fe w things. Houston is no doubt ho me to the energy industry, so you can’t miss this one. Expect a large attendance and make sure you make the ti me to get the full value of the meeting. Breaking ne ws: as I write, I have just learned that we have a record-high nu mber of papers sub mitted for the technical progra m so it will be a good one! I look for ward to seeing you there.

Sincerely,

Craig BeasleyHouston 2017 General Chair

Bro wn Convention Center via t wo indoor sky walks. The hotel is just steps a way fro m a range of attractions such as Discovery Green Park, Toyota Center, BBVA Co mpass Stadiu m, and Minute Maid Park. Green Street pre mier dining and entertain ment center also is close by.

OFFICI AL SE G H OTELS I N H O UST O NSEG discounted rates will be available at o icial hotels only! Contracted hotels are within walking distance of the George R. Bro wn Convention Center and can be vie wed on the follo wing map.

A D VIS O R Y Exhibitors and attendees are, fro m ti me to ti me, solicited by third-party housing agencies, travel agencies, and hotels purporting to service the SEG Annual Meeting. These groups are “pirates” or poachers of group roo ms. SEG and our housing partner, Experient, work closely with the o icial hotels to serve cease and desist letters to these groups contacting our exhibitors and attendees.

Poachers o fer lo wer rated roo ms than o icial block rates. Many ti mes they are unable to provide SEG attendees the quality of roo m o fered in the o icial block. They usually expect pay ment up front and have harsh, unforgiving cancellation policies. Reservations made through any agency besides the approved SEG Housing Partner, Experient, cannot be guaranteed and could result in additional fees above advertised rates, as well as incorrect hotel place ment.

For these reasons, and to support our e forts to give you a quality event, we encourage you to book your housing through Experient’s online housing reservations service at seg.org/a m.
