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.


Anson: "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."

Anson: "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."
