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. http://www.cgg.com/ DATASOURCE: Compagnie
