Philip Ringrose is Professor in Energy Transition Geoscience at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) as part of the Centre for Geophysical Forecasting. He has published widely on CO 2 storage technology, reservoir geoscience and flow in rock media, and has recently published the textbooks How to Store CO 2 Underground (2020) and Reservoir Model Design (2021) together with Mark Bentley. He previously worked for Equinor on many CCS projects and hydrocarbon field developments. His research interests include fluid flow in rock media, geophysical monitoring and the energy transition. He is also Honorary Professor at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, and Adjunct Professor at the Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB), Indonesia.

Jan Petter Morten is working as Principal Engineer in the R&D department of Alcatel Submarine Networks (ASN) Norway, with office in Trondheim. He received a PhD in theoretical physics in 2008 from NTNU, and has industry experience from geophysical imaging, electromagnetics, ultrasound, and development of HPC software. At ASN he develops innovative solutions using DAS and hydrophone fibre-optic sensors for telecom, energy and security applications. He also contributes to scientific research projects with focus on seismology, submarine infrastructure protection, and maritime monitoring.

Pierre is currently the Reservoir Performance Fiber Optics, Geophysics Technical Director for SLB located in Dubai, UAE. This role consists to define and implement new workflows (both operational and software-related), technical competency and training programs, hardware, and overall digital architecture of Borehole Seismic & Fiber optics services. He has authored more than 40 technical papers and patent applications related to those topics. Pierre earned his PhD in Geophysics and his Master in Structural Geology. Pierre has worked for Schlumberger for the past 19 years.

Dr. Gang Yu is the Senior Technical Director of BGP’s Optical Science & Technology Division and Senior Technical Advisor of BGP. Providing technical support and consultancy to BGP’s Optical Science & Technology Division and Non-Seismic Division. He provides technical advice to projects of microseismic monitoring of hydraulic fracturing operation, distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) VSP survey and 3D VSP imaging, integrated shale gas reservoir characterization, marine MT and CSEM, land MT and TFEM, borehole-to-surface TFEM, etc. Dr. Gang Yu holds a B.Sc. and a M.Sc. from Chengdu University of Technology of China, and a Ph.D. from Macquarie University of Australia. He is an active member of the SEG, EAGE and SPE.

Henry has been working as a Geophysicist at Woodside Energy since 2016, primarily in the Technology & Innovation group but lately as part of the Global Wells & Seismic group. He joined Woodside after completing an M.Sci. in geophysics and Ph.D. in petroleum geophysics at Imperial College London. Henry’s work involves all aspects of the seismic data life cycle, with projects ranging from acquisition through to interpretation, but chiefly concerns the development and application of novel approaches to seismic imaging and inversion. More recently, Henry has been working with surface DFOS data for both subsurface monitoring and environmental purposes.

Dr. Nader Issa is the CEO and co-founder of Terra15, which specialises in Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) as a manufacturer of interrogators and delivering application solutions. Dr. Issa is an innovator with 20 years of experience delivering new technology solutions for a range of applications such as optical communications, industrial measurement equipment, life sciences and geophysical monitoring & data processing. He has held positions in Australia, Switzerland and Germany in both global corporations and international research organisations. He received his PhD in Physics from the University of Sydney in 2005 and BSc (Hons) from Monash University in 2000.

Bettina Goertz-Allmann is a senior researcher in the applied seismology group at NORSAR. She earned her PhD in 2008 with a focus on earthquake source physics at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UCSD. Afterwards she spent some time as a post-doctoral researcher at the Swiss Seismological Service at ETH Zurich before she joined NORSAR in 2012. She has long experience of microseismic data analysis and earthquake source studies of both natural and induced seismicity. Since over a decade she focuses on analysis of induced microseismicity in Carbon Capture and Storage environments.
