Houston, Texas (6 July 2022) – Fairfield Geotechnologies, a U.S. premier provider of subsurface energy data and intelligence, today announces that it has been named a successful bidder in the auction process in connection with ION Geophysical Corporation’s (ION) Chapter 11 bankruptcy case pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas.
Fairfield Geotechnologies will acquire certain assets related to ION’s Multi-Client Products business including all of ION’s U.S. onshore multi-client datasets along with the offshore GulfSPAN and FloridaSPAN datasets. The transaction is subject to the approval of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas at a hearing currently scheduled for 18 July 2022, as well as other customary closing conditions.

“The acquisition of certain selected ION datasets furthers our commitment to being the leading provider of high-quality seismic data both onshore and offshore US. Fairfield Geotechnologies will continue to invest both organically and through acquisitions as the opportunities present themselves.” said Joe Dryer, President and CEO of Fairfield Geotechnologies.
