Johannes provides the committee's background, current focus, and how emerging professionals can get involved. EPIC is SEG’s resource for emerging professionals, those with less than 8 years in the industry. It's a global group sharing a common interest in sponsoring gatherings of emerging geoscientists to discuss and gain further understanding of their respective disciplines. Johannes is an exploration geophysicist at Cimarex Energy and vice-chair of EPIC. At Cimarex, he currently works on the Anadarko Exploration Team focusing on further developing formations in Oklahoma.
