Geological Databases & Digitalization
Liberate and integrate geoscience data for deeper understanding
To get the greatest value from geoscience databases, they need to be accessible, integrated and analytics-ready. CGG has vast experience in data transcription, extraction, transformation and loading for seismic, well and geological data, and investing in technology and skills to do digital transformation the right way. The result: a robust data pipeline, powered by our domain expertise and machine learning, that uses a unique and expanding taxonomy and ontology as a rigorous framework.
Our Geoscience Data Hub experts can help you liberate and integrate your own geologic data to create new value from it. This proven proprietary structure was instrumental in creating the GeoVerse™ and GeoWells databases to allow clients to access analytics-ready multi-client data easily incorporated within any software or platform.

Geoscience Digitalization Expertise
- We invest in our team: Our Geoscience Data Hub brings together subject matter experts, data scientists and machine learning engineers
- We innovate: From data extraction to delivery, we have developed more than 30 proprietary technologies; harness machine learning and CGG’s extensive HPC resources
- We define new standards: Our growing subsurface taxonomy is based on over 50 years of global geological data and expertise and has over 250,000 entries
Case Studies
GeoWells
The objective of this multi-client project was to deliver exploration insight by providing an understanding of the uncertainty in the petroleum system and plays in the Mexican Gulf of Mexico based on a consistent data set of re-processed and re-interpreted well logs. The result: Exploration license around economics, evaluations and bid advice.
- 41,000 files from 149 wells spanning onshore to deep water
- All available data, reviewed, validated and re-interpreted to provide a consistent data set
- Rigorously transformed into tens of millions of rows of data in a single database
- Database equipped with a visual analytics dashboard for rapid analysis and screening
