Gwen Anson

Senior Geophysicist
Shell Oil
Houston, TX


 

Gwen Anson works on a multidisciplinary team which is in charge of monitoring operations for gas fields in South Texas. The team consists of a number of engineers, reservoir engineers, production engineers, drilling engineers, facilities engineers, as well as a geologist and geophysicist.


"I come in thinking I'm going to get a lot accomplished with these large blocks of time that I lay out and then I start out and proceed to be interrupted constantly, and that's part of more work with fewer people. And also working on a field team. The other - the other professionals on the team need - need to answer questions for them, as well I need then to answer questions for me. So we're constantly running back and forth in and out of each other's offices saying, "Can you take a look at this project?" Well that's an interruption, because that wasn't what I planned to work on for that day. So there's a little bit of juggling with that. Trying to make sure that I'm getting my work done while I'm satisfying the needs of other people who need information from me."


"Well, right now I work on a multidisciplinary team which is in charge of monitoring operations in gas fields in south Texas. The multidisciplinary team consists of a number of engineers - reservoir engineers, production engineers, drilling engineers, facilities engineers - as well as a geologist and geophysicist."
