SEG Ain Shams University Student Chapter
SEG Ain Shams University Student Chapter (SEG ASUSC) aims to reduce the gap between theoretical study and field of work by providing latest updates of geosciences through various chapter activities such as workshops, field trips, lectures, and distinguished instructor short course (DISC). The chapter was founded in December 10, 2011.
Current Officers
- Amjad Sobhi Muhammed (President).
- Omar Emad (Vice President).
- Muhammad Khaled (Secertary).
- Taher Khalifah (Treasurer).
Our Mission
- Promoting applied Geophysics to those interested.
- Reducing the gap between theoretical study and work environment.
Programs
SEG Annual Program
Its aim was to compensate the need of summer training. The event included:
- Technical topics: Petrophysics, Seismic data processing, Seismic interpretation, unconventional reservoirs.
- Non-Technical orientation: Team work & team management, leadership and project management, mind Mapping, creativity and Negotiation skills, writing Skills, presentation and Communication skills.
Conventional & Unconventional Reservoirs
This event aimed to study Conventional & Unconventional reservoirs specially the unconventional ones as Oil industries and governments across the globe are investing in unconventional oil sources due to the increasing scarcity of conventional oil reserves.
Shell Day
Technical topics were depositional environment and reservoirs distributions. The non-technical topics were Shell interview tips, Job positions within Shell.

SEG ASUSC hosted the honorary lecture talking about “Improving seismic structural time-map accuracy with better near-surface measurements”, presented By Mr. Bruce Blake.
Basics of Natural Gas production & processing operations
This event approached the production methods and processing phases of natural gas in a general sense.
Petrobel Field visit
The visit was sponsored by PETROBEL company to one of its oil fields.
Halliburton Day
The event discussed the basics of drilling, types of mud and their functions, and mud logging basics.
