Abstract: Global geophysical service projects mainly cover seismic data acquisition, supply of data and sales of equipment. The market turnover is more than US$10 billion at the present time, which is divided mainly among several major geophysical service companies. In 2012, four major geophysical companies ---WesternGeco, CGG-Veritas, BGP and PGS --- in aggregation accounted for 80 percent of the world’s total geophysical market share. They have their own advantageous regions with the market concentration becoming higher and higher. This sector is active in restructuring and merger, showing a strong reshuffling trend. Global geophysical market will further expand in the upcoming years, with the momentum for monopoly continuously reinforced. The offshore demand is remarkably on the rise. Large-scale geophysical companies will see a rapid growth in their acquisition activities and strive to improve their technological level and service quality in order to keep their leading technological position. They will adhere to the development pattern of integration and meet the increasingly stern challenge.
