Vladimir L. Trofimov is the author and developer of high-resolution seismic technology (HRS-Geo Technology) for studying the lithological composition, reservoir properties, the nature and degree of reservoir rocks saturation with fluids, and for the direct detection of oil and gas deposits. Vladimir graduated from the Oktyabrsk Oil Technical College (Russia), Vakhrushev Sverdlovsk Mining Institute (SMI, Russia) and full-time postgraduate study at the Geological Department of the Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU, Russia). He received a PhD degree in Geology and Mineralogy, specializing in Seismic Exploration of Heterogeneous Media.He worked in several geological and geophysical organizations of the USSR and Russia, performing seismic, geological and geophysical studies in various regions: Yakutia, Kazakhstan, the Southern Urals, Belarus, Western and Eastern Siberia, European regions of Russia and a number of foreign territories. During his career, Vladimir developed and applied new seismic methods for oil and gas exploration, detailed seismic modeling and well logging. At the Belarusian Research Geological Prospecting Institute (BelNIGRI, Belarus), with his scientific leadership, the studies have been carried out on: forecasting a geological section based on land and borehole seismic data; improving the physical and geological foundations of direct predicting of oil and gas content by geophysical methods; enhancing the methodology of polarization and multiwave seismic investigations, three-component borehole seismic monitoring for predicting man-made earthquakes; application of seismic prospecting for the study of heterogeneous geological environments. At the Central Geophysical Expedition (CGE, Russia) and at HRS-Geo Technology LLC (Russia), he has worked on the application of HRS-Geo Technology in various geological conditions for onshore and offshore oil and gas seismic exploration and 2D and 3D seismic surveys design.
