Oil / Gas / Mining | www.gaf.de

Geology as a basic field of science involves understanding the Earth's interior and surface, as well as its natural processes, primary resources and interaction with the environment.

In recent times, the sector has been experiencing strong growth - driven by the increasing demand for raw materials and hydrocarbons, especially in the emerging markets, as well as the high price levels for such commodities.

GAF meets the associated demand for thematic information and information management in the mineral and hydrocarbon sector by providing a number of highly competitive and operational services.
