Sofia Khan

Sofia Khan is the author of Re-emergence: Onto an emotional journey. The book was published in March 2011.

Sofia Khan grew up in the world of international oil exploration, with its cyclical nature of boom times and downturns. Her father traveled extensively and dedicated his entire career to the advancement of technology for oil discovery. His work and enduring commitment in the quest to find oil influenced the environment she lived in.

Ms. Khan's family moved from one hemisphere to the other, lived in and traveled to both developed and underdeveloped countries. She has received an education far beyond the schools and degrees on record. In spite of earning an M.B.A. from the University of Houston and a B.A. Managerial Studies degree from Rice University, and with over twenty five years of securities and insurance experience, Sofia Khan is most interested in the energy challenge to help solve what could become a severe global energy crisis.

Sofia Khan has supported her father since 2001 on the creation of direct oil detection technology as the means to the energy solution - she is currently President and CEO of Nonlinear Seismic Imaging, Inc., a company that has patents on this revolutionary technology. Together, Sofia and her father had envisioned the implementation of nonlinear seismic imaging technology to provide the United States with a way to become less dependent on foreign oil. She has committed to making a contribution towards solving complex issues that loom on a global scale.

Sofia has co-authored numerous published articles related to Nonlinear Seismic Imaging technology and has a passion for writing poetic thoughts as well, in the area of human courage, the future, the truth and contributing to the creation of a better world for individuals, organizations, and nations.

Global leaders recognize that each nation is interconnected, in which no one is an "island" that should be left behind. Irrespective of how much effort is put in, the world cannot get away from fossil fuels easily. With an increased and stable supply of resources, developing nations will shift towards higher industrialization, improved standards of living and increased food production - a win-win for all parties.

As the world's population increases and nations desire a better standard of living, the world will continue to face uncertainty unless the imbalance between resource distribution and population is solved. The oil industry needs a new and highly diagnostic technology that directly detects and maps the hydrocarbon reservoir fluids and reservoir properties, rather than the subsurface structure.
