Mr. Savajol joined Dynamic Group in 2010 after over twenty years of experience in marine seismic acquisition with major service contractors. He is responsible for the seismic and non-seismic operation activities within the Group.

Prior to joining Dynamic, Mr. Savajol spent over twenty years managing the operations and the sales of marine seismic acquisition services, He has acquired a wide understanding of the operational, technical and commercial challenges of marine seismic and of the geophysical industry as a whole. His offshore experience as Party Manager in North Sea, Africa and Middle East has given him an hands-on experience of marine seismic. His onshore experience spent in Houston since 1998, successively as Operations Manager and Sales Manager, lead to the successful start of CGG operations in the Gulf of Mexico and to the award to CGG Veritas in 2009 of the largest marine seismic contract ever.
Since joining Dynamic in 2010, Mr. Savajol has worked closely with the geological and geophysical groups to design innovative acquisition techniques, which lead to the first commercial acquisition survey using a single contiguous 15 kilometer solid cable for the 2011 SuperCache Gulf of Mexico program. He has a Master’s in Electrical Engineering from Supelec, France.

Mr. Rowan received a B.S. in biology from CalTech in 1976, an M.S. in geology from Berkeley in 1982, and a Ph.D. in structural geology from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 1991. He worked for Sohio Petroleum Co. (1982 to 1985), Geo-Logic Systems (1985-1989), Alastair Beach Associates in Glasgow, Scotland (1989-1992). He then returned to the University of Colorado as a Research Assistant Professor before founding his own company in 1998, where he consults and teaches for the petroleum industry worldwide and conducts research sponsored by industry.
Although Mr. Rowan’s background includes many types of tectonic environments, his primary research and consulting interests are focused on the styles and kinematics of salt tectonics, the processes of salt-sediment interaction, the architecture and evolution of passive margins, and the applications to petroleum exploration. He is the author or coauthor of approximately 75 papers and 150 abstracts, is the regular instructor for AAPG’s Salt Tectonics school, and has been an AAPG Distinguished Lecturer and an AAPG International Distinguished Instructor.

Mr. Rowan designed the SuperCache Program and collaborates with Dynamic Team on various multi-client and exploration projects
