Industry Keynote Speaker
Marco Salcedo, PhD.
R&D Engineer, Applied Geophysical Research Group (OPERA) – TotalEnergies, France
Keynote Title
Seismic Imaging for Hydrogen Storage in the North Sea
Optimizing Seismic Acquisition for Safe Development of Salt Caverns
Biography: Marco Salcedo is a geophysicist with nearly 10 years of experience in seismic imaging, inverse methods, and multiphysics data analysis. He holds a Ph.D. in Earth Sciences from Université Grenoble Alpes (France) and an M.Sc. in Petroleum Sciences from Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Brazil). His expertise includes advanced tomography techniques for model building, reverse time migration for high-resolution imaging, and full-waveform inversion applied to both imaging and subsurface characterization. Currently, he serves as an R&D Engineer in Geophysics within the Deep in Salt project, a collaboration between TotalEnergies and the Applied Geophysical Research Group (OPERA). His work focuses on developing geophysical solutions for the safe and efficient deployment of salt caverns for hydrogen storage. Marco has contributed to both academia and industry, with publications in journals such as Geophysics and Near Surface Geophysics, and presentations at international conferences including SEG and EAGE.
