* Martin Hovland - Martin.Hovland@fluid-venting-system.org - mthovland@gmail.com
Founder of Seepology
Author of books "Seabed pockmarks and seepages", "Seabed Fluid Flow: The Impact on Geology, Biology and the Marine Environment", "Deep-water Coral Reefs: Unique Biodiversity Hot-Spots"
Professor in Seabed hazards
Specialize in:
Marine geology
Geohazards
Seepology
Exploration
XHTHP systems
Professional Experience:
Dr Philos Martin Hovland MSc PhD FGS, has been working for the Norwegian energy company Statoil ASA from 1976 to 2012 as senior engineer and marine geology specialist. He was simultaneously associated with the Universities of Tromsø and Bergen (Norway), as lecturer and adjunct professor (from 2010 until 2012, at the Centre for Geobiology (CGB), University of Bergen). Since 1987 he has also been member of the IODP (International Ocean Discovery Program) expert panel ‘Environmental Protection and Safety Panel’ (EPSP). Through his research on features and processes in the seafloor, he has published four books and more than 150 peer reviewed papers. They range in topics from Deep-Sea Geohazards, including pockmarks, seepage, gas hydrates, slides, and mud volcanoes - to the enigmatic Norwegian deep-water coral reefs (Lophelia reefs) and carbonate mounds.
Based on research performed in Statoil from 2001 to 2012, and from knowledge gained from the ODP and IODP and elsewhere, he continues to work on natural high-temperature / high pressure (HTHP) systems (hydrothermal systems). This includes the formation of salt (NaCl) on Earth and Mars, the processes of serpentinization, and abiotic hydrocarbon formation. Together with co-authors, he has presented two main controversial theories: The “hydraulic theory” for deep-water corals and carbonate mounds; and the “hydrothermal salt” theory, none of which have so far been disproved. He is currently a senior consultant/advisor with the Norwegian company Tech Team Solutions, Stavanger. His working title is Professor emeritus.
MSc Thethis: “Atmospheric diffusion: Theory and Praxis”, under the auspices of Dr C.L. Godske, Avd. Meteorologi, University of Bergen, 1966 – 1969. (It is a local meteorological / climate assessment based on 2 years of continuous temperature / humidity recordings at two levels (6m and 136 masl) at the Forus industry area).
PhD Thesis: “Physical and biological effects of focused gas drainage through the seabed”, under the auspices of Dr. T. Vorren, Avd. for Biologi og Geologi, University of Tromsø, 1992. (It is based on the book ‘Seabed Pockmarks and Seepages: Impact on Geology, Biology and the Marine Environment’ by M. Hovland and A.G. Judd, 1988, and several papers covering the theme of gas seepage through the seafloor).
* Adviser 2 (Information temporary unavailable)
* Patrice Imbert - Patrice.Imbert@total.com
Professor and senior petroleum geologist with 35+ years of experience at Total’s Exploration and Production department, Research and Development division.
Specialize in:
Sediment mobilisation
Turbidite system
Geohazard
Petroleum geology
Hydrocarbon system & leakage
Seismic interpretation
Marine geology
Professional Experience:
Professor Patrice Imbert, also engineer in petroleum exploration in Total S.A.'s scientific research center, has devoted his entire career not only in researching oil and gas but also heavily involves in education. He has supervised and formed over 100+ Msc and PhD students so far. Over three decades, he occupied various positions overseas in exploration and reservoir geology. His research interests are fluid flow in sedimentary basins, with a special focus on the seismic expression of hydrocarbon migration and expulsion, present and past.
