Geosciences are at the heart of tomorrow’s societal and environmental challenges: resource availability, environmental protection, risks connected with the climate change, and new resources for the energy transition. With our expertise in multiple areas, we cover the whole range of surface and subsurface studies.
DATA MANAGEMENT
Managing and optimising geoscience data
● Vectorization, transcription, loading, harmonisation, quality control and archiving of geoscience data (seismic cross-sections, well logs, mapping, documents, GIS, geochemistry, reservoir).
● Compiling GIS databases.
● Drawing value from the data with contributions from Data Sciences.

DATA ACQUISITION
Taking action at every step to ensure and check measurement quality
● Field geological and geochemical mapping; sampling.
● Wellsite geology on drilling campaigns.
● Supervision of geotechnical and geophysical acquisition.
● Airborne acquisition of geophysics data (LiDAR, gamma ray spectrometry, etc.).
● Survey design for geological, geophysical, hydrogeological and reservoir data acquisition.
● Laboratory-based petrophysical and geochemical measurements.
PROCESSING
Applying optimal sequences to harness the best information
● Seismic processing, reprocessing, inversion.
