CGGVeritas announced today that it has increased the number of dedicated processing and imaging centers that it operates for major oil companies with the launch of a center for Repsol YPF in Madrid.


The new center runs state-of-the-art Geocluster processing software to deliver consistently fast and reliable products and joins 11 other CGGVeritas dedicated centers in a worldwide processing network. The center will provide 2-D and 3-D time and depth land and marine processing and imaging services. Through this dedicated center, Repsol YPF will benefit from the advanced technology and level of research and development that the new CGGVeritas group now offers.


Ian Thornton, senior vice president, EAME Processing & Reservoir Services, said, “The opening of this center in Madrid marks a new stage in the strong relationship between our companies. CGGVeritas has been a constant contributor to Repsol YPF’s exploration and production efforts over the past 15 years, and this further underlines our commitment to support Repsol YPF in its E&P goals.”


Francisco Ortigosa, Repsol YPF’s director of geophysics, commented, “This dedicated processing center fulfills simultaneously two important objectives: increasing data processing quality through a close interaction with exploration teams and bringing a technological edge to our exploration in North Africa and Middle East.”
