Specialist geologists join Getech Group
LONDON: Getech Group, the oil services business specialising in the provision of exploration data and petroleum systems evaluations, has announced the appointment of four specialist geologists to the Petroleum Systems Evaluation Group.

These appointments were made as part of the continuing growth of the Group, which aims to reduce exploration risk through the application of innovative and traditional techniques in identifying international petroleum prospects.
These techniques include the interpretation of regional tectonics, basin dynamics, Earth System modelling and palaeodrainage analysis. 
Due to a consistent increase in demand for petroleum systems services, Dr John Jacques, senior structural geologist, has conducted a proactive recruitment campaign to identify key personnel within the areas of structural geology, petroleum systems geology and geochemistry.
The newly appointed personnel, drawn from both academia and industry sources, will be integral to the Group’s continued success.
Commenting on the agreement, managing director of Getech, Professor Derek Fairhead said:
 “As a result of our focused program, the number of petroleum systems personnel within Getech has risen to nine, since the creation of the Group in August 2004.
“The additions of a senior geochemist, a project petroleum geologist, a structural petroleum geologist and Petroleum Geologist, with combined experience of over 50 years, will increase our offerings to the Company’s blue chip, Exploration and Production client base.
“These additions to the team are completely in line with our strategies to create a driving force in the oilfield service arena.”
Getech is a profitable and cash generative oil services business specialising in the compilation and analysis of gravity and magnetic data and in evaluating petroleum systems within basins.
Getech licences these data sets and interpretation reports to major oil, gas and mining companies to enable these companies to evaluate regional geology and thereby assist their exploration strategies.
Getech has compiled one of the most extensive commercial libraries of magnetic data in the world.
