About AGS
Mission
To provide high quality, fast turnaround, cost effective depth processing solutions using geophysicists with the highest level of skill and experience and the best track record in the industry.
Experience
AGS has been successfully delivering depth processing since 1978. We have substantial experience in many of the deepwater hotspots including the Gulf of Mexico, West Africa, Brazil, North Sea, Middle East and Far East. Our ability to remove multiples, isolate signal in noisy environments, and image complex geologies with steep dips, vertical dips and overturns has earned long-term relationships and years of repeat business from our clients.
AGS 3D PSDM Experience

Fast Turnaround
AGS routinely completes projects in less than one month. This includes pre-processing and three images. Projects with significant or difficult multiples typically take two to three months as we may generate fifteen or more images to get the best possible results. Here are some recent examples of our work:
