CGG gains extension for 3D survey offshore Colombia

CGG, a geoscience company, has been awarded an extension to a 3D seismic survey it completed on the Caribbean coast offshore Colombia in late 2015.

According to the company, the new survey follows on from the original over 16,000-km2 survey CGG conducted over portions of the Col-1 and Col-2 blocks, which was the largest survey ever recorded offshore Colombia.

This extension is expected to start in February 2016, CGG said. The additional data will also be processed in CGG’s Houston subsurface imaging center.

Jean-Georges Malcor, CEO, CGG, said: “This survey extension is the latest in a series of projects we have conducted for this key client offshore Colombia since 2013 and indicates the continuing satisfaction with CGG’s seismic technology and operational performance. We look forward to continuing to support high-impact exploration opportunities with our high-end geosciences services and solutions.”
