Raouf Nour - CV
Career summary:
With more than a decade of specialized experience in exploration geophysics, I have
navigated seamlessly within both contractor and client environments, with the majority of my
focus directed towards field acquisition. My expertise covers a broad spectrum of
responsibilities, from quality control (QC) to the supervision of final processing for 2D and
3D land data. I have overseen onboard 3D processing and assumed the crucial responsibility
of infield processing for 2 D and 3D surveys in diverse locations, including Algeria, Tunisia,
and Libya. My proficiency extends to extensive experience in processing within transition
zone areas characterized by mixed sources and receivers.
