Oil and GasTexas, United States51-200 Employees
Seitel is a mid-sized information company based in Houston, Texas, serving the oil and gas sector with land subsurface geophysical data for North American exploration and production. Its library comprises proprietary seismic data built up since 1982, spanning unconventional oil, liquids, and natural gas plays as well as conventional areas. The firm operates with an asset-light model, focusing on data acquisition, processing, and final delivery rather than owning field assets. The company serves a broad client base that ranges from major operators to smaller private companies, leveraging local permitting and community relations in high-activity plays to support seismic projects. A team of geoscientists works with internally developed data management systems to oversee each project from acquisition through processing to delivery. A notable collaboration occurred in 2017 when Seitel partnered with Schlumberger to reimage and acquire new geophysical data in onshore Mexico.
