Global Experience

Global Geophysical’s founders, management team, and directors have hundreds of years of cumulative experience managing major divisions of industry-leading geophysical companies.  They have launched and operated seismic crews in extreme environments in over 60 countries and in most all major hydrocarbon basins.

Masters of All Environments

Global’s key personnel have demonstrated market-leading productivity while operating land and shallow marine crews in diverse terrains: desert, arctic, jungle & swamp, highland mountains & ranges, and transition zone & shallow marine.

Global's personnel have extensive experience building, mobilizing and managing seismic crews in desert terrains including Algeria, Libya, Egypt, the Middle East, and arid desert regions of Latin America, South Central Asia and Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan. While at PGS, Richard and his team launched operations in Saudi Arabia, acquiring one of the world's highest trace density surveys with outstanding productivity, which resulted in repeated world-record breaking production performances for Saudi Aramco. In Algeria, Global Geophysical personnel have extensive experience in outfitting highly mechanized crews that can tackle the massive 300 meter sand dunes of the Western Desert.

In Alaska’s rugged Brooks Range Foothills, Global Geophysical personnel have extensive experience deploying specialized, high density arctic crews capable of high productivity output at extreme temperatures and topography.

Based on the many years of experience operating in the Amazon rain forests and the tropics of Africa and the Far East, Global can aggressively compete in the swamps and jungles in the United States, Mexico, the Gulf of Mexico, South America, Africa and the Middle East. Global managers were some of the original operators that deployed 3D methodologies in these regions throughout the 1980's and 1990's.

Global's personnel have experience in extreme topographic relief areas throughout the US Rockies, Canadian Rockies, and South America's Andean mountains. We are capable of deploying large receiver domain crews in these extreme topographies in order to provide high density seismic data in these very complex geological areas.

Global's experienced team includes industry leaders in shallow marine and transition zone (TZ) surveys worldwide. The company's fleet of specialized vessels includes the M/V James H. Scott, a one of kind, 100 bar-meter shallow draft energy source vessel. Global can effectively record contiguous data sets from onshore out to 75 meters water depth in all major hydrocarbon basins worldwide. The Company's equipment and systems are a culmination of hundreds of years of experience in these regions. Global Geophysical's TZ and shallow marine equipment is "light tackle" in nature, modular in design, and built to be highly portable. This ease of transport will reduce the high mobilization costs of heavier marine TZ operations.
