Our history. It's been an adventure so far
Marion Lagarrigue graduated with an M.Sc. in Geophysics from the University of Strasbourg in 2014 and began working at Estimages immediately afterward. She quickly joined the Norwegian office in Oslo, where she eventually became our Northern Europe Area Manager. Marion has actively contributed to all of our European regional projects and has strong expertise in local velocity modeling initiatives worldwide.
Théophane Paolo holds dual M.Sc. degrees in Geophysics (University of Strasbourg, 2014) and Geology (University of Lorraine, 2016). He began his career in reservoir engineering, working across domains including dynamic modeling, static characterization, and uncertainty quantification. Since 2021, he has been with Estimages, contributing to velocity modeling projects for geographical areas where Estimages is a key player.
Delia Manda is a geologist by training, with an M.Sc. from the University of Lorraine (2020), following earlier studies in Côte d’Ivoire, where she earned both a B.Sc. (2016) and an M.Sc. (2018) in geology. She took her first professional steps at Estimages and now leads projects in the Asia-Pacific region. Her role also includes expanding Estimages' catalog in this area, where she is involved in the construction of new velocity models in geologically challenging environments.
Cédric Magneron is the founder (2007) and CEO of Estimages. He has developed innovative 3D velocity modeling workflows widely used across the energy industry. He has contributed to more than twenty scientific publications on the subject. In addition to providing technical leadership and overseeing Estimages' study methodologies, he also plays a central role in the company’s commercial strategy and client relations. Cédric is currently based in Melbourne

M-GS patent
M-GS® deals with the local optimization of geostatistical models parameters. By acting locally, M-GS allows to take into account the structural non-stationarity of data sets, thus leading to more precise and more realistic modeling results.
