The Scientific Programming group supported the technical needs of the Exploration and Production departments by maintaining data bases and prepared plotted output from both mainframe systems on two Electrostatic plotters.

The Systems Programming group provided mainframe systems support to the Computer Services department.

Also worked with the Exploration Department to specify ,  purchase and install  the next generation hardware and software (UNIX based) to replace the older mainframe system.

Title:   Mapping Coordinator

UNOCAL International Geophysical

Los Angeles

This  position  consisted  of  directing  a  group  of  digitizing personnel who digitized base maps and interpreted seismic sections and maintained this data in a  UNOCAL  proprietary mapping and data base system   Much of the early work in testing and making this system a robust production system was performed by this group.  Many of the first large  geophysical interpretation  projects  were  supported by  this  group using  UNOCAL's mapping system, in conjunction with the system's   development programmers.

The Mapping group also had a small staff of programmers who wrote and maintained UNOCAL's digitizing programs and other utility programs that interfaced with  the proprietary mapping system.

Much of the check out of this system on two operating systems  was performed by myself  and the

programming staff.

The group became involved in the first interactive seismic software system used by UNOCAL.   The interactive interpretation system was approved by UNOCAL's management and the system was  configured and installed in Los Angeles.

In 1982, UNOCAL Thailand requested that UNOCAL's mapping system  be  installed in Thailand and I coordinated this effort on two trips to that office.
