CGG Donates Geocluster Software to Oman University
PARIS, April 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CGG (ISIN : 0000120164 - NYSE : GGY)
has donated the latest version of its Geocluster seismic data processing
software package to the Sultan Qaboos University (SQU) in Muscat, Oman.
This donation is intended to strengthen the special relationship CGG has
developed with the Sultan Qaboos University over recent years. Both parties
recognize the mutual benefit to be gained from sharing technology and preparing
graduates for a smooth transition from student to professional life.
The SQU recently set up a Major in Geophysics and "end-of-study" projects set
for final year students at the University are designed and monitored jointly by
the SQU and CGG. Summer training opportunities for SQU students have existed at
CGG for many years and most of CGG's national staff are graduates of the
University.
This donation gives students access to a suite of 300+ processing modules
available on Geocluster for handling any kind of seismic data. They can now
conduct their seismic projects with industry-leading algorithms and hone their
geophysical knowledge in areas such as time or depth imaging, converted waves,
time-lapse seismic, stratigraphic inversion, fractures and reservoir
characterization.
CGG has worked in Oman for 30 years and has operated a large dedicated seismic
processing centre in Muscat as an exclusive processing services provider to PDO
since 1994. CGG's strong commitment to the hiring and training of Omani
personnel was recently recognized by the award of an OPAL (Oman Society for
Petroleum Services) Compliance Certificate as one of the first oil service
companies working in Oman to meet Omanization targets.
The Compagnie Generale de Geophysique group is a global participant in the
oilfield services industry, providing a wide range of seismic data acquisition,
processing and geoscience services and software to clients in the oil and gas
exploration and production business. It is also a global manufacturer of
geophysical equipment.
