Is a young, very flexible and competitive
company based in Geneva
The reflection seismic is our main activity
We are highly specialized in high resolution
seismic and deep water prospecting
Geo2X used to work in partnerships with
complementary companies
We have recorded and processed more than 500
km of seismic reflection lines during the last
years
