Juan Manuel Lagos

Master Mariner with 15+ years of offshore experience, the last four years focused on QC/HSE Client Representation and Marine Advisory on seismic survey campaigns for operators including Equinor, bp, and Shell — across the North Sea and South America. Work spanned 3D, 4D, Carbon Capture, and OBN survey campaigns. A full maritime command background meant the role wasn't limited to HSE oversight alone — it included active monitoring of seismic vessel operations themselves: back and gun deck work, small-boat operations, close-passes, SIMOPS, etc.

Also coordinated support and escort vessels throughout each campaign, ensuring operations ran safely and efficiently while upholding HSE compliance at every stage. Before moving into QC/HSE roles, spent over a decade at sea as Master, Chief Officer, and Safety/Security Officer across multiple vessel types and operators — including WesternGeco, COSL, BGP, Shearwater, Pxgeo, Sanco and TGS.
