Key Personel

Dr. Roland Froidevaux received his Ph.D. in Geology from the University of Geneva. He is the manager of FSS Consultants SA (Switzerland). His activities include providing in-house training in geostatistics for major oil companies, designing and managing the development of complete integrated geostatistical software for reservoir characterization and modeling, and advising companies on the implementation of geostatistical methodology.

Dr. Michel Garcia received his engineering degree and his Ph.D. in Mining and Petroleum Engineering, both from the Ecole des Mines de Paris, France. He has worked with the Stanford Center for Reservoir Forecasting on geostatistics and upscaling methods. He is the manager of FSS International r&d (France). His activities include software design and development, consulting and teaching in the fields of geostatistics, automatic mesh generation and optimization, and flow modeling for petroleum, environmental and nuclear waste management applications.

Dr. Hélène Demougeot-Renard received her engineering degree from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Géologie of Nancy, and her Ph.D. in Natural Science from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology of Zürich. She has a seven-year experience working for engineering and consulting companies specialized in the diagnosis and remediation of landfill and industrial contaminated sites. Her Ph.D. thesis was dedicated to the applicability of geostatistics to contaminated sites, to manage the uncertainty in risk assessment and remediation plans. As an associate of FSS International Europe, she works on the application of geostatistics to environmental problems.

Dr. Dimitri D'Or received his bio-engineering degree (specialized in soil science) and his Ph.D. in Agronomical Sciences, both from the Université catholique de Louvain, Belgium. He has been a visiting student at the University of North Carolina (U.S.A.) where he worked on modern spatiotemporal geostatistics and especially on the Bayesian Maximum Entropy (BME) approach. His Ph.D. was dedicated to the application of this approach to the spatial prediction of soil properties. As an associate of FSS International Europe, he works on the application of data analysis and geostatistics to environmental problems.

 Alexandre Walgenwitz received a Master in Applied Mathematics and a Master in Mathematical Engineering from the University of Franche-Comté (France). As an associate with FSS Consultants, he works on developing and implementing algorithms for oil reservoir characterization.

 Philippe Pluyaud received his engineering degree from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Géologie of Nancy (France). He has worked over ten years as chief developper and project manager for software companies specialized in earth sciences. He is the manager of the FSS Consultants office in Orléans (France) and works on developing integrated applications for reservoir characterization and modeling for major oil companies.

 Philippe Lamy received a Master of Mathematics and Computing Science from Jean Monnet University in Saint-Etienne (France). He has worked more than four years for an oil company and six years for a 3D geo-modeling software company. After specializing in tailored software for the oil and gas industry, he joined FSS Consultants in 2007 for developments in basin modeling and pore pressure prediction.

 Sylvain Gaultier received a Master in Applied Mathematics and Software Engineering from the University of Orléans (France). He has worked seven years in different software engineering companies performing design analysis and software development. He joigned FSS Consultants in 2008.

Dr. Denis Allard received his Ph.D. in geostatistics from the Ecole des Mines de Paris, France. He has been visiting assistant professor at the department of statistics, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, and has worked for a major oil company as senior geostatistician. He is currently researcher in the biometry department of INRA, the French national institute for agricultural research, teaches geostatistics in several graduate programs and is an associate with FSS International Europe.

Valérie Garcia received a B.Sc. in Mathematics from the University Paris XIII. She got a first experience as a high-school teacher in mathematics. She now works with FSS International r&d (France) where she is involved in data and statistical analysis and in software design and development
