TEAM GEONAUTIKA

Lars Lorenz, M.Sc. (Applied Geophysics)
Senior Geophysical Consultant

Lars is a Geophysicist with extensive technical and commercial experience in the use of CSEM from a wide range of geological and geographical environments and is a globally acknowledged industry expert. He has advised oil and gas companies and service providers on the use of CSEM in a wide variety of geological settings and exploration objectives  with extensive experience at the intersection between internal stakeholders, licence partners and clients in an advisory and project manager role.

He has arguably some of the most hands-on experience in all practical aspects of the technology on a global basis. His experience covers all stages of the CSEM cycle from pre-survey assessment and survey planning to CSEM data inversion and data integration.

During his career, he has worked in Norway, India, Malaysia, Australia and Brazil, and delivered projects in most of the major hydrocarbon basins.

Lars is a strong advocate of the value of utilising CSEM to derisk projects in conjunction with all other geophysical and geological information.
