- Viridien is a global technology and high-performance computing company specializing in data, products, services, and solutions in Earth science, data science, sensing, and monitoring. It operates through two main segments: Data, Digital, and Energy Transition (DDE), which focuses on subsurface imaging, reservoir characterization, exploration targets for energy projects including oil, gas, geothermal, and renewables; and Sensing and Monitoring (SMO), which provides advanced infrastructure monitoring sensors, marine logistics solutions, and marine surveillance products primarily for the maritime, defense, and environmental sectors. The company manufactures seismic equipment such as recording and transmission devices, seismic data acquisition vibrators, sensors, and delivers software for data processing, interpretation, and asset management. Viridien also offers real-time marine vessel tracking and alerts solutions and environmental intelligence through integrated Earth and data science technologies. Founded in 1969 and headquartered in Paris, France, Viridien provides its offerings globally with significant activity in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
Recent developments include Viridien's rebranding from its former name CGG, launched publicly at the 2024 EAGE Annual Conference, signaling a strategic shift towards growth as an advanced technology leader. In 2025, Viridien entered a strategic partnership with Mantle8, a French geoscience company, to accelerate natural hydrogen exploration across the Europe, Middle East, and Africa region, leveraging Viridien's GeoVerse geological database to enhance hydrogen prospecting and support cleaner energy transitions. Additionally, Viridien expanded its client service scope through a five-year technical support and maintenance contract with ExxonMobil Guyana for its marine vessel tracking software. The company continues to drive innovation in seismic surveying and high-performance computing applied to energy transition and environmental challenges, reinforcing its leadership in multiple industries including energy, marine logistics, defense, and infrastructure monitoring.
Viridien's comprehensive product and service portfolio, combined with recent strategic collaborations and a renewed brand identity, position it as a forefront player in advanced Earth and data sciences, offering specialized technology to support exploration, environmental sustainability, and security on a global scale. Its blend of seismic equipment manufacturing, sophisticated software services, and advanced data solutions enables a broad customer base in energy production, environmental monitoring, and marine logistics to optimize operations and achieve operational efficiency.
This positioning aligns with its commitment to enabling energy transition initiatives such as natural hydrogen exploration, geothermal energy, critical minerals exploration, and carbon storage technologies, making Viridien a pivotal company in the evolving global energy and technology ecosystem.
Viridien is listed under ticker CGPVF and continues to maintain a strong market presence backed by its long history since 1969 and expertise in Earth sciences and high-performance computing.
