Paris, February 14th, 2007

Commenting on these results, Chief Executive Officer Robert Brunck stated “In 2006, the revenues of the CGG group, prior to the merger with Veritas, increased as we expected by more than 50%, in a favorable market and thanks in particular to the successful integration of Exploration Resources and the success encountered by Sercel’s new products.
