Hibbard, Haines C., 1917-1991.

Haines Champlin Hibbard (1917-1991) was a senior research engineer and geophysicist at Exxon Production Research in Houston, Texas. Employed for almost 40 years with the Jersey Company laboratories in Oklahoma and Texas, (which included Carter Oil, Jersey, Esso and Exxon), Hibbard designed digital and seismic recording equipment for oil exploration and offshore drilling projects. He received numerous patents for his electrical designs, developed Exxon's first digital seismogram recording system, and was one of the chief engineers for the Lena Tower, an innovative offshore tower and platform packed with sensory instrumentation. Hibbard was also a long-time colleague and collaborator of noted geophysicist Frank K. Levin.
