First EAGE Workshop on Fibre Optic Sensing for Reservoir and Production Monitoring
9-11 March 2019 | Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Keynote Speakers
The workshop features keynote presentations from leaders in reservoir technology and geophysics
General Manager Reservoir Surveillance Technology
Shell Global Solutions International
Wilfred Berlang
Keynote: Integration, Best Practices and Business Impact
Wilfred Berlang is the General Manager for Reservoir Surveillance Technology in Shell’s Projects and Technology Organization. In the past 20 years Wilfred held various roles in geophysics, reservoir surveillance, IT and fiber optics research and technology development. Early in his career he worked as a geophysicist on seismic processing software and was the manager Shell Canada’s in-house seismic processing system. Afterwards he held various positions in Shell’s Technology organization in Smart Fields, Geophysical Services and team leader roles in the R&D organization.
Wilfred graduated with a MSc in Electrical Engineering from the Delft University of Technology and has many hobbies which include photography, opera, art, reading, learning languages and traveling.
Geophysicist

Kevin Davies
Kevin studied at Liverpool and Birmingham UK Universities, joining Texaco during early onset of “3D” marine seismic, rapidly learning about effects of spatial sampling on signal and source generated noise. Fortunate enough to work in an inquisitive R&D group, Kevin soon became hooked into using marine propeller noise for seismic imaging. Stimulated by seeing value in seeking novel solutions to geophysical problems, Kevin continued with development of marine over-under sources and streamers to enhance resolution. Over the last decade, focus moved to Ocean Bottom Nodes and a natural link to time-lapse monitoring. Recent attention has drawn to fiber-optics, a subject that requires knowledge expansion in geophysics and transcending to engineering. Kevin continues to enjoy working in a somewhat rare hybrid research, development and technical service environment, endeavouring to ensure knowledge is shared.
Senior Geophysicist Reservoir Technology
Equinor
Maximilian Georg Schuberth
After studying applied geophysics at TU Delft, ETH Zurich and RWTH Aachen, Max began working in Equinor as an asset geophysicist on the Johan Sverdrup field. He is now a project leader responsible for building integrated cloud-based IT infrastructure for seismic and distributed sensing data.
Borehole Seismic Product Lead

Sebastien Soulas
Sebastien Soulas completed his Master’s degree in Geophysics (specialising in Borehole geophysics) from School and Observatory of Earth Sciences (EOST), Strasbourg France, in 1994. He then spent 15 years working in marine seismic data processing, acquisition and analysis at various European locations before leading global borehole seismic activities for Maersk Oil in Copenhagen. He worked for BP 8 years and acted as senior Borehole Seismic Technical Expert in Upstream Reservoir Development, managing global borehole seismic operations, including the planning and execution of data acquisition, data processing and VSP data integration with surface seismic.
Since beginning of last year, he joined Lytt as Senior Advisor for Borehole Seismic, a BP tech start-up which develop and deploy high-value applications using DAS and DTS to provide real-time 24/7 subsurface analytics including seismic applications.
He has presented numerous technical papers on borehole Geophysics including DAS seismic at EAGE conferences and workshops promoting data value, technology adoption and integration with surface seismic.
