From field to intelligence
Geophysics at the core. Digital capability built around the data.
The story begins in the field and continues all the way to the enterprise systems that depend on what the field records.
- 01
Plan & Survey
Geometry and survey control fixed before mobilization.
- 02
Acquire
2D and 3D recording with QA/QC embedded in the field.
- 03
Process & Interpret
Field records become images, then geological understanding.
- 04
Preserve & Digitize
Legacy media rebuilt as structured digital archives.
- 05
Enterprise Intelligence
Technical data connected to the systems that use it.
Geoscience
From acquisition to subsurface decisions.
Acquisition, processing and interpretation run as one technical workflow.
Signature geoscience experience
The survey begins at the surface.
Acquisition geometry, field crews and seismic sources establish the physical foundation for subsurface imaging.

A strategic 3D seismic survey program for Waha Oil Company, executed with continuous technical and logistical coordination in the field.
Concession notation follows NAGECO's own published variants (NC-12 / NC-13 and M.N 12–13) and will be set to the contract wording before publication.
Operations
Built for the field.
A seismic program is a logistics problem before it is a data problem. Crews, fleet, fuel and medical cover have to hold together in remote desert concessions for the recording to be worth anything.
Operating cycle
Mobilize
Crews, camps and fleet into remote concessions.

Digital & Technology
Field operations connected to enterprise intelligence.
Seismic data is one of the most demanding workloads in the energy sector. NAGECO builds the environments it is processed in — and the systems that put it to work.
01 — Infrastructure
Built to process what lies beneath.
- Compute & storage
- Sized for seismic workloads, not office IT.
- Processing environments
- Field data moved through to interpretable images.
- Technical data management
- Indexed, access-controlled, retained.
In development
High-Performance Seismic Data Processing Center
NAGECO's 2026 development plans include establishing a high-performance Seismic Data Processing Center to strengthen national processing capability.

Base geography: Natural Earth 1:50m Admin 0 Countries (public domain). Only confirmed NAGECO locations are plotted; project positions are published once approved.
Health, safety & environment
Every operation starts with safety.
An operating condition of field work, not a reporting exercise. Controls are applied daily, at crew level, where the risk actually sits.
- 01
Daily field briefings
Toolbox talks, permit-to-work and PPE checks before the day begins.
- 02
Vehicle tracking
Journey management and driver monitoring across remote movements.
- 03
Field medical readiness
Clinic capability, medical personnel and ambulance support with the crew.
- 04
Environmental protection
Desert precautions, including archaeological features inside survey areas.
Safety performance indicators are intentionally omitted until NAGECO HSE confirms the reporting standard, period and scope for each figure.
