Geodata Analysis, Peer Review, and Economic Risk Modeling

Robert Lankston

Geoscience Integrations was formed in 2006 by Robert (Bob) Lankston. Bob has had a varied career of over 30 years in academia, major petroleum companies, and geophysical contracting. While on the research faculty at Washington State University, Bob integrated surface and borehole geophysical data for study of the Columbia Basin for hydrocarbon, uranium, and water exploration. He taught geophysics and computer methods in geology at the University of Idaho and the University of Arkansas. In the petroleum industry, Bob was involved with shallow target geophysics as applied to downstream environmental issues and in environmental GIS management. In upstream, he worked in geopressure analysis software development and implementation, AVO analysis and fluid replacement modeling, and facilitation of value of information analyses.

Bob is a member of the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) and the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG). He is the co-chair of AAPG's Energy Minerals Division committee on gas hydrates. Bob has provided peer review of articles for the journals and special publications of the various professional societies. He is a founding member of the Tobacco Root Geological Society (TRGS).

The common thread throughout Bob's career has been integration of methods, data, and concepts. Nowhere has this been more evident than in his work of the past four years in gas hydrates where shallow target geophysical methods, particularly in the Arctic, are an important complement to an understanding of the geopressure regime in successfully exploring for gas hydrates. Seismic and well log techniques commonly used to understand geopressure in deepwater environments to minimize drilling hazards provide the core concepts in gas hydrate exploration in the Gulf of Mexico and other areas.
