Geolink

What Geolink does

Geolink is a privately held French geological consultancy, founded in 1996 and headquartered in Grenoble, France, providing integrated sequence stratigraphy and seismic stratigraphy services to the upstream oil and gas industry. The firm serves energy companies and E&P operators — disclosed customers include DNO, OKEA, OMV, INPEX, Orlen and Sval — with a regional focus on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (Norwegian Sea, North Sea, Barents Sea). Approximately 21 employees, including PhD-level scientists and senior geoscientists led by Scientific Director Dr. Thierry Jacquin, deliver consulting, multi-client studies and training engagements.

The company's product portfolio centers on E&P consulting (well data integration, 2D & 3D seismic interpretation, paleogeography reconstruction, reservoir delineation and 3D static modeling) supported by a proprietary Norwegian Shelf database and interactive online visualization platform. Technical delivery relies on industry-standard geoscience platforms — KingdomSuite for seismic interpretation, JewelSuite (with JewelGrid orthogonal grids) for 3D reservoir modeling, and ArcGIS for mapping — combined with proprietary workflows and 25+ years of accumulated regional subsurface data. The offering has been extended into Carbon Capture & Storage consulting and R&D in natural hydrogen exploration, alongside multi-client studies (e.g., the 2025 release of 20 Jurassic Depositional Environment Maps) and professional training courses plus geological field trips.

Geolink generates revenue through four streams: project-based E&P consulting (professional services, quote-based pricing), multi-client stratigraphic and seismic studies (shared subscriptions), recurring subscription access to its online database platform, and professional training courses/field trips. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, targeting enterprise E&P operators primarily in Europe (France, Norway) with demonstrated delivery reach into the Middle East (Iraq). The firm is founder-led, structured as a SARL with no disclosed institutional investment, patents, or external funding.

• CGG (Geocompany): Global geoscience major combining seismic data acquisition, multi-client libraries, and Robertson geological consulting — broader portfolio but directly comparable on subsurface interpretation services and multi-client studies.

Direct peers

• RPS Group (Tetra Tech): Geoscience and subsurface consulting firm serving E&P operators with basin studies, reservoir characterization, and CCS work — overlaps directly with Geolink's integrated sequence and seismic stratigraphy services.
• IGI Ltd: Integrated geological interpretation consultancy serving E&P operators worldwide with sequence stratigraphy, biostratigraphy, and reservoir studies — a closely comparable specialty boutique model.
• Petrostrat: Biostratigraphic and sequence stratigraphic consultancy delivering wellsite and regional studies to oil and gas operators — overlapping with Geolink's biostratigraphic and stratigraphic interpretation core.
• AGR (ABL Group): Subsurface and reservoir management consultancy with strong North Sea and Norwegian Continental Shelf presence, providing exploration geoscience and CCS advisory services that map directly to Geolink's offerings.
• Ichron (now SLR Consulting): Geological and petrophysical consultancy with strong North Sea presence, providing integrated well and seismic interpretation services that overlap with Geolink's specialty offerings.

Regional players

• Lyngså Engineering / Noreco: Smaller Norwegian-region subsurface and geoscience specialist that, when comparable, would address overlapping E&P consulting needs on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
