| 2014: |
On September 21, BGP was awarded a mega 3D TZ contract by Kuwait Oil Company,which is not only the largest 3D TZ contract ever for BGP as it is also the first contract into Kuwait's seismic market. The contract includes a working area of 2583 Sq.Km, covering operations in deep and shallow water, transition zone, city district, sea shore, seasonal lakes, plantation and desert. Seismic sources are vibrators, dynamites and air-guns.
In 2014, GeoEast won the China national award for scientific advancement.
