ROLANDO HIDALGO S.

Senior Geophysicist with extensive experience in seismic interpretation, reservoir characterization, and geophysical support for oil and gas exploration and production projects. Fluent in Spanish and English.

I am a successful geophysicist with 30 years of domestic and international experience who has obtained outstanding results in all the projects executed and wells drilled resulting in promotions throughout my career. For instance in Ecuador I was promoted from Junior Geophysicist to Senior Geophysicist in just two years time, then three years later I became part of the international staff. In Indonesia I published a paper in The Leading Edge as a result of outstanding results in an oil field study.

I have worked with Operator International Oil Companies, such as Occidental and Repsol, on basins of several countries (Qatar, USA, Indonesia, Ecuador, Bolivia, Argentina, Malaysia and France) in several tectonic settings (i.e., compressional, extensional, strike-slip and salt), both in onshore and offshore operations.
