TGS-Nopec CEO Hank Hamilton said “TGS-Nopec has been a client of Symtronix Corporation for years. We have been impressed with the quality of their work and high level of service. The acquisition of Symtronix will allow us to provide a more complete and thorough set of data delivery alternatives to clients who license TGS-Nopec seismic data. Symtronix will continue to provide services to its existing client base.” TGS-Nopec provides non-exclusive seismic data and associated products to the oil and gas industry.
