Dick Zinno is the Chief Geophysicist at Weatherford International. He earned his MS degree in Geophysics at Southern Methodist University in Dallas with his graduate thesis on the subject of microseismic monitoring of hydraulic fracturing. He earned his BS at Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, and his BA at Boston College. Before joining Weatherford he was President of Acoustic Mapping Consultants. In that capacity he consulted for service companies and major oil companies, such as ChevronTexaco, Anadarko, ExxonMobil, Schlumberger, and Mitchell Energy, where he designed and managed the first real-time, commercial, microseismic hydraulic fracture monitoring service. In his twenty-eight years of industry experience, he has also held various positions as an exploration geophysicist with Union Pacific Resources and Seismograph Service Company, covering the full range of seismic acquisition, processing, and interpretation.
