ION Geophysical has elected Zhang ShaoHua of BGP to its board of directors.
Under an investor rights agreement between the companies, BGP has the right to appoint a nominee to the company’s board of directors. Zhang’s appointment came as his predecessor on the ION board, Zheng HuaSheng, transferred to another China National Petroleum Corporation company.
Zhang is currently general manager of BGP, the world’s largest land seismic contractor. He began his career at BGP and over 30 years has led the acquisition technical department, science and technology department, and finally the R&D Centre. In 2018, he was promoted to chief geophysicist of BGP.
Zhang holds a master’s degree in geophysical prospecting from Changchun College of Geology (presently Jilin University) and a master’s in business administration degree from the University of South Alabama.
‘His technical expertise will prove particularly beneficial as we continue to develop new offerings to capitalize on the energy transition and digitalization opportunities that optimize decision-making and value for clients,’ said ION in a statement
