In the 1980’s, seismic exploration for oil and gas underwent a revolution with the move from 2D to 3D. We are now seeing the start of a further revolution with the development of wide-azimuth (WAZ) seismic surveying – or, as it could perhaps be called, true 3D.

From the outset, CGGVeritas has been closely associated with wide-azimuth surveying and can offer unrivalled experience in survey design, acquisition and processing, whether in an onshore, seabed or offshore environment.

This experience places CGGVeritas in an industry-leading position to drive this step-change technology, worldwide.

The circled areas show improvements in structural definition, amplitude and signal-to-noise below the salt.
