Dr. Helsinger has over 30 years of experience in management and technical positions with major oil companies, as well as large and small independents. He is a recognized expert in the specialized evaluation techniques of Seismic Stratigraphic Analysis (“SSA”) coordinated with multivariate attribute analysis. This technique provides a critical competitive advantage to standard geophysical  analysis.

He has a successful track record in using these techniques to delineate new prospects, trends and plays that have gone unrecognized by the oil industry, to include being instrumental in discovering over 1 TCF of gas onshore Texas.

Dr. Helsinger has generated and developed over 100 projects offshore Louisiana with a major impact in discoveries in West Cameron and Green Canyon, in addition to developing substantial onshore Texas exploration programs. He is an expert in the use of state of art 3‐D computer enhanced interpretation and visualization methods. He has presented technical seminars on SSA to corporations and major geological societies. He has worked for Amoco Production Company, Anadarko, Louisiana Land and Exploration, Samson and Burlington Resources.

He holds a Ph.D. and M.S. in Stratigraphy with specialization in depositional systems from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and a B.S in Geological Oceanography from City College of New York. In 1999, he formed Dynamic GeoVentures LLC to develop new plays in the Texas Gulf Coast. Dr. Helsinger was Exploration Manager for Hamman Oil an independent oil company from 2001 - 2008. Since then he has consulted for numerous companies using Seismic Stratigraphic analysis techniques and was instrumental in obtaining over 20 Federal offshore leases for an independent oil company in 2009.  Dynamic GeoVentures recently generated a 12 prospect offshore program with total potential reserves of 4 TCF.
