Kurang Mehta is an accomplished geophysicist with experience in the oil and gas industry and works technical projects in different geologic settings including Gulf of Mexico, Oman, Borneo / Brunei, and offshore Nigeria. He works towards generating value towards integrated subsurface characterization in exploration, development, and production stages of project, by providing high-quality seismic interpretation (structural and quantitative) and time-depth conversion. Always curious and eager to learn, resilient under pressure, takes personal accountability to ensure timely delivery of commitments, and willing to support colleagues while working in a team towards a common goal. He is an active SEG member since 2003 and has been publishing and (recently) reviewing articles for “Geophysics” and “The Leading Edge” since he was a graduate student (2004). In terms of the IMAGE technical program committee, he has been the focal point for the “Time-Lapse seismic” section since 2020. To build on his association with the SEG, he is currently a guest editor for the TLE special section on Carbon Management (Nov 2023), and the chair of CUSP (Committee of University and Students Program), which is a great leadership role for him to grow the association of geophysics students with the SEG.
