Schlumberger acquired Calgary-based integrated geophysical survey design software and services provider, GEDCO, as part of the company’s WesternGeco business unit.
GEDCO has developed the industry’s standard program for seismic survey design and modeling, OMNI 3D and a flexible 2D/3D seismic data processing package, VISTA. The group also offers, from design through interpretation, consulting services for 2D and 3D seismic and vertical seismic profile solutions.
Survey design and modeling will continue to become even more critical to exploration success and the industry explores for oil and gas in increasingly complex geological environments with higher risks.
