GII is a company that specializes in geophysical exploration and research for oil and gas industry, water resources development, environmental studies, geophysical engineering and earthquake seismology, both in Israel and abroad

A device used in seismic acquisition that detects ground velocity produced by seismic waves and transforms the motion in electrical impulses

Large-scale geological structures that might hold oil or gas reservoirs are invariably located beneath non-productive rocks, and in addition this is often below the sea. Geophysical methods can penetrate them to produce a picture of the pattern of the hidden rocks. Relatively inexpensive gravity and geomagnetic surveys can identify potentially oil-bearing sedimentary basins, but costly seismic surveys are essential to discover oil and gas bearing structures

The study of the materials, processes, environments, and history of the earth, including rocks and their formation and structure

Concept that there is still a lot of interesting oil to be developed from the geological point of view around the world but that many areas are – geopolitically – closed to international oil companies, so that in fact they are not running out of oil but running out of places to drill
