SEG

The Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) was founded in 1930 in Houston, Texas, where it is headquartered today, with regional offices in Asia and the Middle East. SEG is a not-for-profit society whose mission is to promote the science of applied geophysics and support its ethical practice in natural resource exploration, near-surface characterization and the mitigation of earth hazards.

For nearly a century, SEG has brought together scientists, engineers, educators and industry leaders. Its members work across energy and carbon capture, minerals and mining, water and natural resources, environmental services, infrastructure and research.

SEG publishes the journal GEOPHYSICS and the magazine The Leading Edge, co-publishes Interpretation with AAPG, and holds IMAGE, the International Meeting for Applied Geoscience and Energy, together with AAPG each year. The SEG Foundation supports geoscience students and programs, and SEG recognizes achievement in the field through its annual Honors and Awards.

Open iT is a member of SEG. Open iT meters and analyzes the use of engineering and technical software, including the geophysical, seismic interpretation and exploration and production applications used across the energy industry. Membership connects Open iT with the geophysics community that relies on these tools.
