Tony Clark has joined Global Geophysical as the Vice President of Risk Ventures for North America.  Tony will lead the Speculative Data Library (Spec) Business as a new product line for Global’s rapidly growing seismic business.

A twenty five-year industry veteran, Tony started in the seismic business in the early 1980’s working for Geophysical Field Surveys (GFS), now a part of CGGVeritas.  He continued his career marketing seismic programs and selling 2D and 3D spec surveys for industry-leading Seismic Exchange, Inc. (SEI), now a data library leader and a very prominent client of Global Geophysical. 

Tony then began his entrepreneurial quest as a founder and principal of Seismic Assistants, Inc. (SAI); his networking skills and marketing prowess quickly helped to establish the company as a leading provider of 3D spec programs in the state of Texas.  Tony has since sold his position in SAI and is currently an owner/partner in a number of very successful business ventures across the US.

Tony graduated from Mississippi State University with a BBA in Marketing.  He has served on the Board of the College of Business and Industry at MSU since 2003 and was recently selected as one of MSU’s National Alumni Association's Distinguished Service recipients.

“Tony brings to Global extensive speculative seismic experience, proven business acumen, and strong relationships in the E&P business,” comments Richard Degner, President & CEO of Global.  “He is not only one of the most experienced executives in the Spec seismic business but quite frankly, he is one of the most colorful and enthusiastic professionals I have worked with in my career!  Tony has already negotiated and closed two substantial spec contracts in his first month with the company - I look forward to his future contributions with great anticipation.”
