Nicolas Daynac has led Eliis' global activities of seismic and geological interpretation expertise for the last 12 years. He conducts and delivers studies for clastic and carbonate systems, from basin to reservoir scale, with emphasis on sequence stratigraphy and sedimentology, by connecting geological concepts and geophysical expressions.

16+ years extensive experiences in oil & gas industry with core competencies Static Modelling, Sedimentology and Stratigraphy. Currently working on research & development of Carbon Storage Reservoir Aquifer, Capacity and Geomechanic Containment.

Emma Shepherd is CCUS Business Development Manager at Viridien and her role covers the Eastern Hemisphere, from the UK to Australia. Emma works within Viridien’s Earth Data Library team. The Earth Data team work exclusively with multiclient data to deliver products such as Carbon Storage Screening and Storage Play Quality Index (SPQI) studies, and geological digital databases such as GeoVerse and GeoWells. Emma is based in North Wales and has a background in Geology, graduating from University College London in 2017 and going on to gain experience in both the mining and oil and gas sectors, before transferring her skills and experience to the energy transition sector with a focus on Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage (CCUS).

Master's degree in Geodynamics/Geophysics, specializing in the characterization of fractured reservoirs. Twenty years of experience in oil and gas exploration, and in the last three years in energy transition and sustainability projects, such as geothermal and carbon capture. Career developed in exploration, recently changing to sustainability projects, including geothermal potential evaluation, defining target zones, and proposing well locations; and carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects, evaluating existing potential for CO2 storage and determining well placements for CO2 storage.
