History

edit

The firm was formed from the merger of two companies, Wavefield Geophysical, and InSeis.[2][3]

In December 2006, the company acquired 30% of Optoplan, an optical sensor provider. In October 2008, the company acquired the remaining shares.[4]

Wavefield was acquired by French seismic company CGGVeritas in December 2008 and is now fully owned by them.[5] The Wavefield name has ceased to exist except in holding companies / legal entity status.
