	Baker Hughes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 2000, Baker Hughes and Schlumberger formed a joint venture called Western Geco.
		Western Geco was formed by the merger of Baker Hughes's Western Geophysical and Schlumberger's Geco-Prakla which were the two leading seismic interpretation companies.
		In 2006, Baker Hughes announced in a press release that it was selling its 30% share of the Western Geco joint venture to Schlumberger for $2.4 billion in cash.

		“Western Legend” will be capable of towing four 6 kilometer long streamers with a maximum length of two 10,000m arrays and be equipped to carry out two- and three-dimensional imaging of the ocean floor and the Earth’s deep interior.
		When operating as an academic research vessel, the “Western Legend” will be owned by The National Science Foundation, operated by the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, and under the advisement of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS), an organization of 62 academic institutions and National Laboratories involved in oceanographic research.
		The receiving systems used by “Western Legend” to record the sounds that probe the Earth's interior are substantially more sophisticated than that onboard R/V “Maurice Ewing”.

	Exclusive: Oil giant buys Linux supercomputer - Printer friendly - ZDNet UK News
		Western GeCo, the UK-based oil industry services giant recently formed from the merger of Schlumberger's Geco-Prakla and Baker Hughes' Western Geophysical, is to adopt a Linux-based supercomputer cluster for operations like ocean floor surveys, ZDNet UK has learned.
		The Western GeCo installation will be comparable in scope to a 1,024-node Linux cluster recently bought by Shell and a mainframe system installed by Danish ISP Telia that runs Linux in a virtual machine.
		It is also important that the Western GeCo cluster will be running mission-critical applications, such as mapping the ocean floor in real time based on satellite information from ocean-going vessels.

		Norske Shell har engasjert Western Geco til å samle inn 3-D seismikk i PL 326 i Vøringbassenget, hvor selskapet nylig ble tildelt operatørskap i 18.
		Norske Shell has engaged Western Geco to acquire 3-D seismic data in PL 326 in the Vøring Basin, where the company recently was awarded operatorship in the 18th Round.
		The objectives of the data acquisition are to improve the understanding of reservoir distribution and presence as well as presence of hydrocarbons and thereby reduce the Exploration risk.

	COMBINE Project Web -- Partners
		Geco is a member of the Schlumberger Group, the leader in oilfield services.
		The aim of seismic surveying is data acquisition to produce images of geological units and their structure below the surface of the earth.
		In order to increase the differentiation, Geco's strategy is to develop proprietary seismic related software products to support the seismic service business.

		That means Western Geco's choice of technology in the future is likely to impact competitors for survey work as well as suppliers of equipment and services.
		Industry observers also point out that it is not a foregone conclusion that the new Western Geco enterprise, which has been set up as an independent company and may well be floated in due course, will necessarily opt for Schlumberger's marine seismic design and technology.
		In this context Q-Marine may prove to have a pivotal role in persuading the management of Western Geco that the Schlumberger route has the edge over the competition in the coming market for 4D time-lapse studies.

		Western Geco will implement the following mitigation measures (BLM letter to this office, November 8, 2002) on both BLM-administered lands and Trust Lands administered by the School and Institutiona1 Trust Lands Administration (SITLA) in areas identified as potential Mexican spotted owl habitat by Brian Max field:
		Western Geco has also committed to implement mitigation measures to minimize impacts and reclaim disturbed areas in Mexican spotted owl habitat in the projcct area (see Proposed Action in this letter and BLM letter of November 8, 2002).
		Therefore, we believe that the habitat analyses and habitat mitigation commitments are appropriate and adequate to minimize potential impacts to the Mexican spotted owl, if owls occur in the project area.

		This is no more than you would expect given that Schlumberger is to be the senior partner in Western Geco with 70% to Baker Hughes' 30%, and that Geco-Prakla brings to the table the largest fleet worldwide.
		Equally, Western Geco may conclude that only a light weeding is required amongst its fleet, assuming most of the 'clunkers' have already been discarded.
		This is something of a coup for Sercel and an undeniable blow to TMS and by implication Western which recently let go of its exclusive licence to the Sentry solid streamer.

		On Feb. 22, the IBLA shut down the one-week-old project, raising concerns that the BLM had not analyzed a full range of alternative actions, ignored the comments of sister agencies, and may have acted in an "arbitrary and capricious" manner.
		The BLM and the company said the delay would cost Western GeCo upwards of $40,000 a day while crews waited on stand-by, but the IBLA's director of appeals Robert More wrote: "A delay of four to seven months and the attendant costs pale by comparison to resource harms lasting decades or even centuries."
