CGG sets up geoscience centre in Abu Dhabi

Industry

CGG has set up a regional geoscience centre in Abu Dhabi to deliver geophysical, geological and reservoir technology and support to oil and gas companies across the Middle East

The existing Abu Dhabi CGG centre has almost doubled in size to welcome the arrival of a team of geoscience experts in vital technical disciplines to complement its existing seismic imaging and geoscience software teams.

Clients can now enjoy local access to experienced carbonate sedimentologists, structural geologists and petrophysicists, as well as reservoir engineering and geomechanics experts from CGG’s Robertson Geology and Reservoir Sciences teams. In addition, CGG has seismic inversion, satellite mapping and multi-physics imaging experts available in the region.

By increasing its geoscience presence in the Middle East, CGG is reaffirming its commitment to an important region where it currently has a high level of activity. As well as technical services, clients can now benefit from CGG’s GeoTraining capability to develop their in-house talent with tailored geoscience training and learning path programmes.

Peter Whiting, senior vice-president Geoscience EAME, CGG, said, “CGG’s Middle East Regional Geoscience Centre in Abu Dhabi now offers much more than the excellence in seismic imaging for which it has been well known since its launch in 2001. It will serve as a strategic technology centre where our clients can engage directly with our highly experienced team of geoscientists to meet their technical challenges and business needs.”
