Competitive Advantage
GEDCO distinguishes itself by having a client-centric culture. In the day-to-day, this means developing robust geophysical solutions that are fueled by clients' feedback and that are complemented by effective and collaborative technical support services.
GEDCO was incorporated as a private company in 1990 by John Peirce and Andreas Cordsen. The company’s foundation was built on the bedrock of geophysical services – 2D and 3D seismic acquisition, processing and interpretation.
In 2000, GEDCO purchased Seismic Image Software (SIS), a worldwide leader in the development of 2D and 3D seismic processing software and 3D survey design and analysis software.
