INSTRUCTOR PROFILE

Mike Graul has been at the seismic game for over 40 years, having begun his quest for knowledge as a Chevron geophysicist in New Orleans, in 1957 at the age of 9. He led the typically nomadic life of a seismic crew worker, finally settling in Houston, where he completed his tour of duty with Chevron after some 23 years. Drawing upon his experience in research, processing, and interpretation, he formed a training/consulting company (Exploration Education Consultants, Inc.), and later, a seismic processing company, Texseis, Inc., where he serves as a partner, with responsibility for research and development. Mike has taught a wide variety of seismic courses for the SEG, AAPG, University of Houston, SPE, as well as numerous oil companies, large and small. He is a member of the SEG, EAEG, GSH, DGS, IEEE, and is a graduate of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
