Ken R. Hooper, President - La Mesa Geophysical Services, Inc.

Ken has been active for over 22 years in management, financial, operating, and serviceroles in the oil and gas industry. La Mesa Geophysical began in 1998 as the seismic surveyresource for its allied exploration and operating companies. After developing several fieldsand selling those assets, La Mesa Geophysical continued to innovate to become a smallsurvey specialist serving Independents. Ken was also co-founder and Chief OperatingOfficer of Houston-based Buccaneer Resources, an E&P company originally listed on theASX in Australia. He is a graduate of Texas A&M University.

BIO – CompanyDrawn from 18 years of direct experience with explorationists, La Mesa Geophysical hasdelivered ‘prospect- focused’ 3-D surveys in the pursuit of remaining reserves inestablished trends and fields. Given the existing knowledge in a producing trend, theseprospects are lower risk, but require significant exploration competency and a holisticapproach with precision tools and data to help de-risk the remaining targets.Independents today are also using La Mesa’s ‘incremental’ survey strategy to identify anddevelop new fields and trend concepts in the Lower 48.

Exploration "Soup to Nuts" Speaker Biographies

Woodson Godfrey“While still in graduate school, my first professional work in the energy industry was as a

consultant on the Paleogene Project for Amoco, where I was supervised by theincomparable Ted Karmen.

Thereafter, a freshly minted MS from LSU in hand, I joined Shell Offshore in New Orleans,which served as a ten year apprenticeship in deep-water Plio-Pleistocene and Miocene, theoffshore Mesozoic and the onshore Paleogene. Ten years later, I did a brief stint as internalConsulting Biostratigrapher for Conoco which, while it afforded a wide scope of possibleassignments, was too far removed from direct contact with the work of my profession formy liking.

I became a self-employed consultant twenty three years ago and have since then workedextensively not only the ages and trends above, but also the Jurassic, Permian,Pennsylvanian, Mississippian and Devonian in the Appalachian fold-belt, southwesternUnited States and, of course, the Gulf of Mexico. I would like to think the fun is justbeginning.”
