Our Vision

To stand at the forefront of geophysical technology and lead in developing innovative solutions in the subsurface domain, for the natural resources industries and Homeland Security needs.

What We Actually Do

GII uses a variety of non-invasive geophysical methods, including seismic, magnetic and gravity fields, electrical methods, and additional techniques, to image subsurface conditions for resource exploration and security applications worldwide. Geophysical methods enable the Institute to provide extensive information about the subsurface without requiring deep excavations and complex operations that cause significant disruption to day-to-day activities above ground. Our services save considerable money and time for exploration companies and security agencies across the globe. With over 68 years of specialized experience, the Institute has established itself as a trusted international partner in oil and gas exploration, mineral prospecting, and homeland security operations. We have successfully completed extensive projects across Asia, Africa, and Europe, earning global recognition for our technical, operational, and logistical flexibility. Our ability to successfully deliver any project while maintaining the highest standards of professionalism, safety, and on-time performance has made us the partner of choice for governments and major corporations worldwide.
