Sercel-GRC, a global leader in oilfield service technology, is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, highlighting a century of innovation in downhole data acquisition tools and surface equipment.
Founded in 1925 as the Geophysical Research Corporation (GRC), the company has been at the forefront of well monitoring and artificial lift technologies. Among its many milestones is the creation of the Amerada Bomb in 1931, the world’s first mechanical recording pressure gauge. Today, Sercel-GRC continues its legacy with advanced solutions such as the fully water-tight Spy Pro ESP gauge and the Amerada P3.5 permanent downhole gauge.
“Reaching our 100 year milestone is more than a landmark in time,” said Tom Millar, vice president of marketing and international sales at Sercel-GRC. “It’s a reflection of our commitment to delivering reliable data, adapting and evolving with the industry, and building trust among our customers. This year, we are taking the opportunity to reconnect and develop new relationships as we continue to be recognised for providing reliable data solutions that improve the value of assets.”
To mark the centennial, Sercel-GRC will host a special celebration at the SPE Gulf Coast Section Electric Submersible Pumps Symposium, taking place August 25–29 in Galveston, Texas. Industry leaders and participants will come together to honour the company’s contributions to oilfield technology over the last century.
Sercel-GRC’s technologies support a wide range of well applications including monitoring, ESPs, gas lift systems, progressive cavity pumps, and sucker rod pumps. With its ongoing commitment to going “Beyond the Gauge,” the company continues to equip oilfield operators with the tools they need to make smarter production decisions.
