16 Geophysics in Geothermal Exploration Geoffroy PAIXACH Geoffroy is a geophysicist with a degree from the IFP School, Paris. He began his career with an Oil and Gas operator at the Geoscience Research Center in London, focusing on seismic processing amplitude preservation. Over the years, Geoffroy has held various positions in reservoir characterization for Beicip-Franlab, a subsidiary of IFPEN. Geoffroy worked in the Marine CSEM industry and the seismic multi-client industry, developing offshore seismic acquisition programs in multiple countries. He co-founded and managed a startup specializing in real-time simulation for basin modeling in Houston. In 2025, he became the Chief Executive Officer of CFG Geothermal, a geothermal resource consulting and engineering services firm. Jean-Michel ARS Graduated from École Normale Supérieure d’Electricité et de Mécanique in 2012 and from Université Paul Sabatier in 2013. Jean-Michel Ars obtained a PhD from Université Bretagne Occidental in 2018 in the field of geophysics, focusing on multi-physics joint inversion applied to geothermal exploration. He was a post-doc for 3 years before becoming a geophysics researcher at Geolinks since 2022. He works primarily in the field of inverse methods for geophysical imaging but also studies seismic ambient noise as subsurface characterization and monitoring tools. Romain BAILLET Romain Baillet is a Geophysicist with an Engineer Degree (MSc) from the “École et Observatoire des Sciences de la Terre” school in Strasbourg, France. He joined BeicipFranlab in 2012 as a specialist in seismic inversion and characterization. Till then, he has been involved in many integrated or specialized studies for all energies, including geothermal activities. As an expert and project leader, he currently participates in the innovation of the methodologies proposed by Beicip-Franlab by designing and carrying out workflows including seismic data, to lower the risks in both prospection and production phases.
