BGP, a subsidiary of China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), showcased its integrated geophysical services and advanced exploration technologies at ADIPEC 2026, held in Abu Dhabi from November 2 to 5.
Under the theme “Creating Value Through Intelligent and Integrated Geophysical Solutions for Our Clients”, BGP highlighted its capabilities across the entire geophysical exploration value chain.
According to information published on BGP’s official website, the company’s cooperation with the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) dates back to 2017. In 2018, ADNOC awarded BGP a contract for onshore and offshore 3D seismic acquisition. The Associated Press described the project as involving the “world’s largest continuous onshore and offshore 3D seismic survey,” while China Daily and other media outlets, citing the Emirates News Agency (WAM), also referred to it as the world’s largest 3D seismic exploration project.
In November 2024, ADNOC announced that it had awarded BGP a new contract to expand what it described as the world’s largest onshore and offshore 3D seismic survey. ADNOC said the contract would support the UAE’s local economy through its In-Country Value (ICV) programme. Publicly available information indicates that BGP has completed 26 onshore seismic projects in the UAE since 2017 and has been recognized by ADNOC as an “Outstanding Contractor.”
