Precision Where
It Matters Most

I am Godwin Offisong Unoh, CEO of GAJ Geophysical Services and a seasoned geophysicist with over 13 years of field and processing experience across marine and terrestrial survey environments.

GAJ Geophysical Services provides end-to-end geophysical solutions — from raw field acquisition to polished, client-ready deliverables — across Nigeria, Africa, and globally. We are available for both on-site deployments and fully remote data processing engagements for international clients.

Whether you need a reliable professional for offshore multibeam surveys, sub-bottom profiling, side-scan sonar operations, or complete remote data processing workflows anywhere in Nigeria, across Africa, or internationally, we bring the technical depth and field-hardened experience your project demands.

We also work with industry-standard CAD and GIS software for precision charting, spatial analysis, and professional geophysical reporting — ensuring every deliverable meets client and regulatory standards.

GAJ Geophysical Services is based in Rivers State, Nigeria, with our head office in Port Harcourt — serving clients locally across the Niger Delta and internationally on a remote or mobilisation basis.
