GLS is now part of Halliburton!!
On Tuesday, October 27, Halliburton announced its
acquisition of Geo-Logic Systems, LLC. “The
industry faces increasingly difficult exploration
and drilling scenarios,” said Paul Koeller,
Halliburton’s vice president of Software and
Asset Solutions. “The integration of Geo-Logic
Systems offers geoscientists advanced modeling solutions
to address the technical challenges of exploring
in complex petroleum regimes such as overthrust
belts and the pre-, syn- (including sub-salt) and
post-rift portions of extensional basins. In these
complicated, poorly imaged plays risk reduction
is of paramount importance.”
