September 2025 Letter

Dallas Geophysical Society,

As we transition into fall, we want to thank you for your continued support and engagement. Your participation throughout the past year has helped us build a stronger, more connected geophysical community in the DFW area.

🍂 Fall 2025 Highlights & Upcoming Events

DFW Membership Night at the Ballpark – Recap
Our annual night at Globe Life Field was a huge success! With over 200 attendees gathered on the Budweiser Porch, the event brought together members, sponsors, and friends for an evening of baseball, networking, and fun. A big thank you to our generous sponsors for making it possible. The night ended on a high note with an extra innings win for our Texas Rangers!

Fall Kickoff Lunch Technical Talk – Recap
We had a packed room for our September 17th technical talk featuring Zack Lawrence from ExxonMobil. Zack delivered a fantastic presentation on optimizing offshore survey design and focusing on how to balance technical deliverability with cost. He also shared valuable insights into how ExxonMobil develops its seismic workplans. The talk sparked great conversation and thoughtful discussion—thank you, Zack, for helping us kick off the season with such a strong event!
