Sophie Zurquiyah joined CGG in 2013 and was appointed CEO in 2018. The collapse in oil price,Covid-19 pandemic and energy transition have created a tough business environment during her near four-year tenure in this role, but also created opportunities. In this interview, Sophie talks ...

Executives from CGG, PGS and TGS shared how their companies are helping businesses minimize their carbon footprints by implementing CCS subsurface technologies and services.

Each year the geoscience industry creates huge volumes of documents containing a wealth of knowledge which cannot be easily queried or extracted. Key to the successful extraction and transformation of data is an understanding of the nature of the data that exists within a ...

Based on an extensive 3D modelling study utilising full-wavefield Finite-Difference modelling and Full-Waveform Inversion (FWI) we demonstrate that the TopSeis/OBN hybrid acquisition acquired from May to August 2021 in the Nordkapp basin in the Barents Sea has the potential to image salt flanks and ...

While significant progress has been made in CCUS over the last five years, the industrial and financial sectors need to see how projects are being effectively de-risked. By capitalizing on the latest technology advances and the integration of multidisciplinary skills and data, geoscience has ...

This paper describes a new dense survey acquired in 2020 in the Permian Basin and aims to objectively assess the quality and benefits brought by a richer low end of the spectrum and far offsets. For this purpose, we considered several aspects, from acquisition ...

Twelve multi-source/multi-receiver land surveys from the Carpathian foothills were reprocessed and merged using the most advanced signal processing and imaging technologies. These included an innovative denoising subtraction using a primary model from the de-migration of a clean reflectivity from PSDM as well as a ...

CGG has always been at the forefront of industrial High Perfor­mance Computing (HPC) architectures: we were operating vector supercomputers (Convex, Cray and NEC) in the early 1990s, and large parallel supercomputers (Convex SPP, IBM SP, Sgi Origin) by the end of that decade. At ...

The optimal transport problem was formulated more than 200 years ago to calculate the optimal way of transporting piles of sand. Due to the interesting properties of its solutions with respect to shifts between the compared distributions, optimal transport has recently been adapted to ...
