What We Do
The GII is a 'one-stop-shop' for geophysical services in onshore and transition zone exploration and detection underground.
We harness the investigative power of geophysics, out in the field and on the computer. This means using seismic waves, magnetic and gravity potential fields, and the wide range of Electro-Magnetic frequency applications to collect information about the structure, composition, fluid content and anomalies in the sub-surface. From shallow to deep targets, there is a solution for your challenge.
GII has acquired international recognition mainly through its flexibility in meeting diversified requirements, broad experience and consistent performance together with its ability to identify with our client's needs - offering them highly efficient, budget-adapted solutions. GII has performed 3D and 2D seismic surveys for customers around the globe and in very diverse and challenging terrain. Examples include Georgia, Turkey, Italy, Jordan, Angola, India, Albania, Congo, Ethiopia and Tanzania.
