IAGC is the international trade association which represents the industry that provides geophysical services (geophysical data acquisition, seismic data ownership and licensing, geophysical data processing and interpretation, and associated services and product providers) to the oil and gas industry. IAGC represents more than 100 member companies from all segments of the geophysical industry. IAGC member companies: come from all regions of the world; globally employ tens of thousands of people; range in size from the largest global full service contractors to individuals in business as sole proprietorships, and range from start-up companies to companies who provide geophysical goods and services to contractors and E&P companies alike; represent the vast majority of both the global data acquisition capacity and the non-exclusive data in libraries today.

Marine Environment

Thu, 05 Aug 2010 21:07:27 GMT

There are growing international concerns over the effects of E&P sounds on marine life, particularly sounds from seismic surveys. And while cetaceans, fish and sea turtles get the most attention, concerns extend much more widely. In response, governments are increasingly requiring measures to mitigate potential harm to marine life. These measures can significantly affect our industry's operations and their cost, and they increasingly restrict the E&P industry's ability to access areas for oil and gas exploration and production. Together with the E&P industry, IAGC continues to be engaged in the public policy discussions on this issue. And along with a limited number of visionary E&P companies, we continue to invest in and provide technical support for and oversight of scientific research that is filling the gaps in knowledge and eliminating uncertainty about the possible effects of E&P sound on marine life. This effort is made possible by the continuing support and...

Careers in the Geophysical Industry

Tue, 20 Jul 2010 13:26:40 GMT

Recruiting Video: The geophysical industry creates an amazing opportunity for individuals looking for an adventure. Althought the application of reflection seismic surveying has been in use for a long time, the geophysical exploration process is one with which very few individuals outside of the oil and gas industry are familiar. Educated and degreed geoscientists, through their schooling, have broad based knowledge of this process and the career path that may follow. For others not familiar, we want to give you a glimpse into this technique and the efforts that make it a reality. We hope that it will spark some interest and curiosity that will lead you to ask more questions, and possibly pursue a career in the geophysical industry. To view the recruiting video for the geophysical industry, Click Here. To view a series of job specific interview videos produced by our sister association in Canada, the CAGC (Canadian Association of Geophysical Contractors),...

Australian Behavioral Response Study

Wed, 23 Jun 2010 16:51:24 GMT

The Behavioural Response Study (BRS) with Australian humpback whales and seismic sources project aims to 1) determine reactions of migrating humpback whales exposed to airgun arrays, 2) determine factors that affect the responses of whales, and 3) determine the effectiveness of soft-start (ramp-up) procedures as a mitigation method. In September/October 2010, migrating humpback whales off the East Coast of Australia will be exposed to a single airgun. Before the controlled exposure experiment starts, the airgun and acoustic recorders will be used to determine sound propagation characteristics of the East Coast study location. In 2011 at the East Coast site, a 4-element seismic source array will be used to investigate responses of humpback whales to the first three stages of a ramp-up procedure. The same 4-element array will be used in the same experimental design in 2012 off the West Coast of Australia. In 2012 or 2013, humpback whales on the West Coast will be exposed to a...
