CGG, PGS and TGS unveil unified seismic data ecosystem

Technology

Multi-client geoscience data providers CGG, PGS and TGS have announced Versal – a unified seismic data ecosystem giving access to three of the world’s largest multi-client libraries via a single log-in

Versal is an independent, secure, cloud-based, multi-client seismic data ecosystem where clients can easily access all their data and entitlements in one place. As a result, E&P teams can now capitalise on their interpretation and analysis workflows for their subsurface projects by leveraging a seamless licensed data experience that takes minutes rather than days, enabling maximum efficiency and opportunity generation.

Sophie Zurquiyah, CEO, CGG, said, “Versal is unique in streamlining industry access to more than 70% of the seismic multi-client market, through a vendor-neutral, cloud-based common ecosystem.” 

Rune Olav Pedersen, president and CEO of PGS, said, “Versal has created an environment that will benefit both the consumers of seismic data and the data providers over the longer term. We are proud and excited by the launch of this successful industry-wide digitalisation initiative.” 

Kristian Johansen, CEO at TGS, said, “This landmark collaboration with CGG and PGS provides a foundation for our clients to universally view, access and build innovative subsurface workflows at the click of a button. Versal’s ability to improve decision-making with less uncertainty, underpins its initiative to provide the best customer service to our clients and future clients. I look forward to Versal’s evolution to increase data richness for users.”
