Growing through the reservoir: Moving into reservoir services will help a major contractor achieve its long-term goals

摘要

When CGG and Veritas united in 2007, the merger created the world's largest geophysical contractor. But apparently that milestone did not temper the company's appetite. Recently, CGGVeritas announced that it would purchase all of Fugro's Geoscience division except for Fugro's existing multiclient library and nodes business. According to the press release, "The transaction will enable CGGVeritas to become a fully integrated geoscience company, and it also will strengthen and extend its existing equipment and acquisition businesses, in particular with the addition of four high-end 3-D vessels."
