Hampson-Russell Software & Services, a CGGVeritas Company, announced today the opening of a new technical support office in Villahermosa, Mexico.

A resident team of experienced geophysicists will provide onsite support for its advanced geophysical interpretation software to main client, Pemex, as well as other client companies operating in Mexico. This team will join the CGGVeritas Reservoir Characterization Services Center already in place in Villahermosa.

Luc Schlumberger, Executive Vice President, Latin America region, CGGVeritas, said, “This initiative underlines our long-term commitment to Mexico and our strong expectations for growth in this dynamic market. We are confident that by working in closer proximity to our existing and potential clients in Mexico and the wider oil & gas region, we will gain a better understanding of their E&P challenges and goals to deliver added value through effective and customized solutions.”

Hampson-Russell will also open a support office in Beijing later in the year to add to its global network of support offices in Houston, Calgary, London, Perth, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Moscow, and Dubai.
