Interpreting
The World SM
Welcome to my web site. My name is Dale
Bird and I started Bird Geophysical in 1997. I consult primarily with oil and gas
companies by interpreting gravity and magnetic data for petroleum exploration.
How do I do this? The Earth’s gravity
and magnetic fields can be measured with extreme accuracy – often better than 1 and
20 ppm respectively. Since density and magnetization changes in rocks beneath the
Earth's surface produce gravity and magnetic anomalies, subsurface geology can be inferred
by careful interpretation of these anomalies.
Understanding the nature of structures and rock
types beneath the surface is crucial for oil and gas exploration. My goal is
to create geologic interpretations from geophysical data, this involves
applying geologic concepts of Earth structure and integrating geophysical information such
as gravity, magnetic, well log, and seismic data. Typically maps and plots are produced
that show data and interpreted geology. I work in Houston Texas and you can contact me at:
