New Ultramodern CGG Facility Boasts Secure and Cost-Effective Storage

Paris, France – March 26, 2019 -- Smart Data Solutions, part of CGG’s Geoscience division, has opened a new state-of-the-art reservoir fluids and gas sample storage facility in Schulenburg, just west of Houston, Texas. To ensure the integrity of stored sample assets, the purpose-built 60,000 cu. ft. facility is securely enclosed and video-monitored. It also offers the latest in automated fire protection security and spill containment, all delivered in a cost-effective, state of the art storage solution.

Combined with the existing 23 storage buildings and laboratory, CGG offers oil and gas companies over 4 million cubic feet of storage capacity and associated services for long-term, high-volume oil and gas asset sample storage, all under one roof.

Instant data access, online searching, reporting and ordering of samples is enabled by CGG’s PleXus system, an integrated system of record with associated chain of custody tracking.
