Viridien SA (formerly CGG SA) is a leading provider of geophysical services, Earth data, and sensing equipment, primarily catering to the global oil and gas industry. The company operates through two main business segments: Data, Digital & Energy Transition (DDE) and Sensing & Monitoring (SMO). The DDE segment, which accounts for the majority of the company's revenue (approximately 70% in 2024), comprises Geoscience and Earth Data. Geoscience offers advanced subsurface imaging, reservoir characterization, and seismic data processing, while Earth Data develops and licenses a vast multi-client library of seismic surveys. The SMO segment (representing around 30% of revenue) operates primarily under the Sercel brand, manufacturing high-end seismic acquisition equipment, sensors, and monitoring solutions for land, marine, and ocean-bottom environments. While historically focused on oil and gas exploration, Viridien is increasingly leveraging its high-performance computing (HPC) and sensor technologies to expand into new markets, including carbon capture and storage (CCS), minerals and mining, and structural health monitoring. The company operates globally, with a significant presence in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and the Asia-Pacific region.
