BGP, a subsidiary of China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), showcased its integrated geophysical services and advanced exploration technologies at the ADIPEC 2026 exhibition held in Abu Dhabi from November 2 to 5, Gulf News reported. Operating under the theme “Creating Value Through Intelligent and Integrated Geophysical Solutions for Our Clients,” the company highlighted its technical capabilities across the exploration value chain.

At the event, BGP presented field-tested hardware and technologies derived from its high-density seismic acquisition operations. Displayed equipment included the Wi-Source drop-hammer vehicle, an intelligent robotic inspection dog, drones designed for seismic node quality control, and uDAS distributed acoustic sensing equipment. BGP experts from China and other countries also delivered eight specialised technical reports during the exhibition.

According to company information cited in the report, BGP's operational ties with the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) began in 2017, followed by a 2018 contract award for continuous onshore and offshore 3D seismic acquisition. In November 2024, ADNOC awarded BGP an expansion contract for the survey, incorporating domestic economic contributions via the UAE's In-Country Value (ICV) programme.

Public records cited by the source state that BGP has completed 26 onshore seismic projects in the UAE since 2017 and received ADNOC's “Outstanding Contractor” recognition. The company noted that its demonstrated solutions target exploration challenges across complex onshore, offshore, and ultra-deep formations while supporting regional oil, gas, and energy transition initiatives.
