CGG awarded contract for world’s largest OBN seismic project

June 18, 2019

PARIS -- Subsurface Imaging, part of CGG’s Geoscience division, has been awarded a landmark processing contract by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC). Under its terms, CGG will perform high-end time and depth imaging of massive volumes of very high-spec data from what is believed to be the world’s largest ocean-bottom node (OBN) seismic survey to date.

Starting in May 2019 – and for a period of at least five years, during the maximum seven-year contract period – CGG will process a minimum 20,000 km2 of high-density wide-azimuth OBN seismic data at its Abu Dhabi geoscience center. In operation since 2001, the center has an excellent track record of delivering high-end imaging technology solutions to ADNOC and other regional players. This award, which also includes optional reservoir characterization work, builds on this long-term relationship with ADNOC. The sustained level of activity is expected to strengthen tailored R&D cooperation between the two companies and give ADNOC access to CGG’s wider service offerings.
