CGG Services (Norway) AS

What CGG Services (Norway) AS does

CGG Services (Norway) AS is a privately-held Norwegian limited company (Aksjeselskap) headquartered in Oslo and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Viridien (formerly CGG), the Paris-listed advanced technology, digital and Earth data company (Euronext Paris: VIRI). The Norwegian entity operates within Viridien's global energy services division, delivering marine seismic services and subsurface imaging capabilities to oil and gas companies, with exposure to renewables, carbon storage, mining, infrastructure, and defense verticals through the parent's integrated platform.

The subsidiary's underlying technology stack draws on Viridien's proprietary subsurface imaging portfolio — Full-Waveform Inversion (FWI), Ocean Bottom Node (OBN) imaging, Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) imaging, and the Geotools modeling suite — alongside AI-powered digital services (including the Evergreen Data Solution launched in June 2026), the Viridien Cloud HPC platform, and Outcome-as-a-Service delivery. Revenue is generated through multi-client seismic data licensing (covering Northwest Europe, Gulf of Mexico, and South America), bespoke geophysical services and imaging contracts, HPC and cloud subscriptions, and licensing of geological, gravity, magnetics, satellite, and environmental data products via the GeoStore. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting large resource owners and industrial clients, complemented by content marketing, industry events, webinars, and investor relations activity. The Norwegian entity's specific financial contribution is not separately disclosed; in May 2026 the parent reported Q1 2026 financial results and continues active operations across its global footprint.
