Schlumberger Introduces
the GAIA Digital Exploration
Platform
schlumberger has introduced the GAIA digital exploration platform at the 81st EAGE Conference & Exhibition. e GAIA platform enables exploration teams to rapidly discover and access basin-scale data and manage their exploration opportunities.
e GAIA platform uses the power of
the DElFI E&P cognitive environment to access data available from schlumberger
and other E&P industry data providers. e GAIA platform provides a personalized user experience, enabling the explorationist to discover, visualize and interact with all the available data in a region or basin without compromising resolution and scale. e GAIA platform enables clients to manage their exploration portfolios in line with their corporate strategies. In addition, oil and gas regulators can utilize the platform to showcase their countries’ assets to potential operators. Also, E&P industry data providers can provide their clients with subscription-based access to their data library.
“Exploration teams spend a signi cant amount of nonproductive time nding, loading and curating data for months
before they can start using the data in their subsurface work ows,” said Maurice Nessim, president, WesternGeco, schlumberger. “We developed the GAIA platform to accelerate our clients’ data discovery, screening and ranking of their exploration opportunities. Our clients can now stop exploring for data and focus on exploring for oil and gas.”
Unique to the GAIA platform is the
combination of a high-performance digital map for global data discovery and game- changing 3D visualization with streaming
of basin-scale subsurface data. e GAIA platform is designed to modern cloud security standards with full data encryption, federated single sign-on and 24/7 monitoring by dedicated cloud security operations centers.
e GAIA digital exploration platform provides access to more than 3 million km2 of 3D seismic surveys, 3 million km of 2D seismic lines, and other exploration data types from our partner network of leading seismic and well data providers.

Güralp and Sonardyne to
provide advanced seabed
exploration tech
leading seismic monitoring instrumentation and solutions provider Güralp systems ltd. and sonardyne International ltd. have signed an agreement to cooperate in the provision of cutting edge multidisciplinary ocean bottom research technology, including capabilities for earthquake or tsunami detection.
e o cial Teaming Agreement between Güralp and sonardyne, announced at the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE) conference in london today (June 4), will enable the two companies to collaboratively provide more advanced and e cient technology for in-situ seismic and seabed monitoring.
Güralp has more than 30 years’ experience in the design and manufacture of broadband seismometers and accelerometers, while sonardyne’s experiences stretches to more than 40 years of experience in long-endurance data collection and through-water telemetry. As a consequence, clients globally will bene t from a combined o ering of technology for seismic data gathering, seabed deformation
monitoring and tsunami detection, as well integrated acoustic positioning and telemetry for remote data access.
At the heart of the cooperation is Güralp’s revolutionary new Aquarius Ocean Bottom seismometer (OBs). Comprising of a digital feedback tri-axial broadband seismometer, three-axis magnetometer, a micro-electric mechanical system (MEMs) accelerometer and absolute pressure gauge, Aquarius is also equipped with sonardyne’s 6G Wideband low- mid frequency (lMF) acoustics.
e low pro le and compact design of
the Aquarius minimises ow noise, but also makes it the most compact telemetry-enabled OBs available in the market. Available in
two variants, the Aquarius is capable of 12
or 18 month deployments depending on the system options selected. ese options include instrument con guration, transmission of state of health and triggered event or snippet data transmission at up to 9,000 bps.
6G-inside capability also means that Aquarius is compatible with a range of other sonardyne technologies, including ranger 2 Ultra-short Baseline (UsBl) positioning and telemetry, as well as its unmanned surface vehicle (UsV) GPs-Acoustic payload box and Tsunami Detection system.
Both companies have global reputations for provision of class-leading technology
to academic, public, governmental and
private organisations for understanding and exploring our world. As a consequence Güralp and sonardyne are con dent that closer cooperation will lead to a further step-change in the solutions available to customers.
Geraint West, Global Business Manager, Ocean sciences, sonardyne, says, “We really welcome closer cooperation with Güralp. Our overlapping markets and complementary technologies mean that we have the potential to transform what we can individually o er to our customers.”
