GEOKINETICS INC

Geokinetics Inc. specializes in seismic data acquisition and processing services for the Crude Petroleum & Natural Gas sector, equipping exploration and production companies—particularly independents and national oil companies operating in frontier or deepwater provinces—with high-resolution subsurface imaging that informs drilling risk assessment. Leveraging a suite of proprietary marine, onshore, and transition-zone survey tools, it translates raw geophysical signals into actionable reservoir models while offering turnkey planning, permitting, and field support to reduce downtime for clients racing to connect discoveries to market. The firm operates within SIC 1381-style capital-intense oilfield service norms, requiring consistent investment in vessels, skilled crews, and data centers to maintain competitive turnaround times, and it faces material risks around commodity-price volatility, project cancellations, regulatory permit delays, and the heightened environmental scrutiny that accompanies offshore operations. Its most recent disclosed SEC action is the Form 8-K filed in November 1999, underscoring the importance of checking current filings—CIK 314606—before making decisions; view live updates on Earnings Feed to stay informed.
