GRANT GEOPHYSICAL - Seismic Data Acquisition in Land, Transition Zone and Shallow Marine (OBC) Environments

GRANT GEOPHYSICAL is an international contractor, providing specialized transition zone, shallow water (OBC - ocean bottom cable) and land seismic data acquisition and processing services to the petroleum and mining industries worldwide.

Seismic data is arguably the principal technology used by oil and gas companies to find new reserves and exploit and develop existing resources. GRANT is the only dedicated land, shallow marine and transition zone seismic data acquisition services contractor that competes on a global basis. The size of GRANT, our inventory of the latest technology available in the marketplace supplemented with customized proprietary vessels and equipment, experienced staff and the ability to respond swiftly to client needs, is totally unique in the industry today.

GEOPHYSICAL SERVICES

GRANT acquires seismic data on land, in shallow water and in the transition zones between. With over 70 years of experience, GRANT has developed a clear understanding of the difficulties faced when operating in each of these environments. Rather than restrict the company to a single technology base, GRANT has deliberately selected the most appropriate technology for each of their operating environments and has independently developed crossover capability between them. GRANT is organized around a skills-based structure rather than on a purely regional basis, allowing GRANT to provide the technical proficiency for particular operating environments together with the local expertise required to work profitably in their selected markets worldwide.

The company blends the financial foundation and diversity of a major integrated energy service company with the agility of a smaller independent. This unique combination facilitates operating in a truly integrated way while retaining the ability to react quickly to customers needs.

SHALLOW WATER, TRANSITION ZONE AND LAND SEISMIC DATA ACQUISITION TECHNOLOGY AND INSTRUMENTATION

GRANT actively researches and implements emerging technologies with conventional 2D, 3D and, in reservoir monitoring applications, repeatable 4D surveys. GRANT can acquire land, shallow marine and transition zone seismic data utilizing single component, dual sensor, 3C or 4C multi component technologies with fixed axis or fully gimbled sensors.

As part of added value services GRANT offers reconnaissance services that include shallow hazard mapping, shallow streamer, bathymetric surveys, side scan sonar, marine magnetics and marine gravity as well as survey design and environmental impact studies.

In addition to selectively adopting technologies that lead to greater operational efficiency and profitability, GRANT has a program of targeted recruitment, training and retention of its best technical and managerial staff. It is recognized that the competence and commitment of GRANT's staff is one of the major advantages of the company.

Further to its own focused projects, GRANT is able to adopt new tools and techniques and to work with equipment manufacturers integrating emerging technologies and developments within their instrumentation. As an independent energy service company, GRANT avails itself of wider research and development reach through targeted associations and partnerships with other independent leaders in their respective fields.
