Michael Zeller is a researcher at Equinor focusing on exploration and production in carbonate systems. He specializes in subsurface data integration for reservoir characterization. Michael has 14 years of experience in studies on carbonate and mixed-carbonate siliciclastic reservoirs from regional to field scale in South America, the Gulf of Mexico and the Middle East. He holds a Ph.D. in Marine Geology and Geophysics from the University of Miami, Florida. Michael joined the Equinor Research Center in Bergen in 2013.

Marco Ceia received a bachelor’s degree in physics from the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro in 1994, a master’s degree in geophysics from Observatório Nacional in 1997, and a doctoral degree in exploration and reservoir engineering from the Universidade Estadual do Norte Fluminense Darcy Ribeiro (UENF) in 2004. From 1996 to 1999, he worked as geophysicist at Lasa Airborne Surveys in Brazil. Since 2011, he has served as an associate professor at the Petroleum Engineering and Exploration Laboratory at UENF. His research interests include rock physics, petrophysics, and seismic physical modeling. He is also a member of the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers, Brazilian Geophysical Society, and International Association of Rock Physicists.
