As a graduate of the University of Saskatchewan with a BSc in Geological Engineering, Ed’s journey into the energy industry started at Western Atlas processing seismic data. He later joined Geco-Prakla, where he met Murray Brack, Co-founder of SeisWare. After a few stints working together, Murray and Ed started up Blue Castle Corp ( BCC ), a software support and service company. It was there that they started working with Zokero, the developers of SeisWare Interpretation Software. BCC and Zokero later merged to create SeisWare International Inc.

Ed has had a few stints managing the support team, QA team, and business development team at SeisWare. Always involved in the geophysics community, Ed spent two years as chair of the Chief Geophysicist’s Forum.

When Ed isn’t working, he tries to stay fit as he loves to eat! He also travels to wherever he can find delicious food. In between, he tries to keep up with his 8-year-old grandson and not get clobbered in his fantasy sports leagues.

Ed VanWieren is a founding partner, former CEO, and current Software Developer at SeisWare International Inc.

Ed’s always been a passionate software developer and started writing code when he was just 14. He graduated from the Computer Science program at the University of Calgary and has spent most of his career developing software for oil and gas.

In 1997, Ed’s desire to do something fun, innovative, and interesting drove him to start his own company. He recognized the need for a seismic interpretation package that was easy to use, ran on a Windows ® platform, and solved daily workflow problems for geoscientists.

Ed partnered with another developer to form Zokero Inc., and together they wrote SeisWare interpretation software. Many years later, Ed has partnered with the founders of Blue Castle Corp. to form SeisWare International Inc.

In his own words, Ed focuses on “partnering with our customers, not just writing software for them. I love sitting down, hearing their problems, and solving their issues. We want to connect the program to the person using it.”
