Who
we are

Gulfstar Geophysical Exploration combine the expert geoscience know-how to advise, serve and deploy seismic programs, meeting the challenges of the global oil & gas industry, and anticipating new energy needs.

Gulfstar design & execute land, ocean bottom & transition zone seismic surveys. Our survey design includes full 3D survey design capability including illumination studies.

We operate in multiple industries, increasingly focused on carbon storage and renewable energy, especially offshore windfarms and geothermal activity. Historically, seismic surveys have been used for hydrocarbon exploration but lately they have been extensively used to locate fresh ground water, geothermal energy sources, rocks and minerals containing rare metals and rare earths, diamond bearing rocks and structures, saline aquifers suitable for storing carbon dioxide.
Our management, geophysicists, seismic acquisition specialists & teams have a wide range of experience, having designed and implemented seismic programs and E&P projects in over 25 countries, especially in the Americas, Africa and the Middle East.

New energy needs

Liquid fuels production averaged about 100 MMb/d in 2022.
By 2040, Exploration and Production companies need to add 38 MMb/d of new crude production to meet demand.
The global gas production is expected to grow by 24%.

Vision

Optimizing, shaping, refining our geoscience comprehensive solutions with the ambition for meeting evolving global energy industry challenges.


Mission

Combining the best geoscience know-how and expertise to support and serve clients under high levels QHSE objectives, with a local content approach.
