A PhD does not make a person any better a processor than a level, BSc or MSc.

They still need training in

  • 3d data spatial understanding

  • entire processing flow

  • project management

  • client management

  • organisation skills

  • team working

  • ....

This training requires experienced TL and Supervisors, lots of them, to manage projects and develop juniors.

Anyway you don't want AI or ML, if it is working, you are not required!

If the great one in the sky, filling our insides with his love, his knoweledge, his trust and his seed points us towards the warmer climes of 100 dollars oil, one must entrust the recovery of CGG to the path Mecca sets before us. Our destiny, CGG's destiny, is within our grasp my brothers, so part your cheeks, set aside your judgements and cynism, and feel the pain as he opens your mind, your vortex and your mind.

There is an EAGE event next week in KL for AI and ML. While CGG is a sponsor, there are no speakers or posters other than a Hampson-Russell presentation (Colin Murdoch in a panel discussion doesn't count).

Does this indicate how far behind the curve CGG is? Given how many Phd there are (even among the processing geos) and the lack of projects these past few years, one would have thought that one of the big bosses would have pushed to develop AI/ML pretty aggressively so that they can be the top choice for AI/ML in geoscience.

Mission impossible. Why? Still burning cash.

"The calm before the storm?"

  • No. The storm is already calming, now it's the rebuilding.
