The world renowned data acquisition and processing teams at Xcalibur Multiphysics delivered the largest ever recorded shipborne gravity and magnetics project. The survey was acquired in conjunction with the Nebula multi-client program for CGG offshore Brazil. Over 36,700 sqkm of high resolution gravmag data were obtained in the Santos and Campos Basins with industry leading turn around time.

To date, over 100 GeoPDF GIS maps were delivered to multiple stakeholders that licensed numerous areas of interest (AOIs) over several blocks from multiple bid rounds.CGG Multi-Client New Ventures conducted the long-offset BroadSeis survey from June 2019 to January 2022. The survey is comprised of over 1,200 survey lines and 80,000 line kilometers. Along with seismic data, final products from the fully processed gravity, magnetics and bathymetry data are now available to license from CGG.

Examples of where gravity and magnetic methods can assist include: identification of salt diapirstectonics and structural mapping depth-to-basement identification of volcanics determination of sediment thickness delineation of sediment fairwaysmapping of intra-sedimentary anomalies independent geological constraints check for seismic interpretationWe are ready to illustrate how potential fields can add value to your project and enhance your exploration program.

Xcalibur Foundation and Real Madrid Foundation develop their first joint Social Sports Academy in Uganda

Xcalibur Foundation and Real Madrid Foundation develop their first joint Social Sports Academy in Uganda

Warning: Constant template_defecto already defined in /app/wp-content/themes/xcalibur/blocks/Columns/index.php on line 24

As a result of the agreement signed between Xcalibur Foundation and Real Madrid Foundation, 160 vulnerable girls, boys, and youth from Kampala, aged 5-16, will benefit from education in values, sports practice, and football training.

The agreement was ratified by Enrique Sánchez, Executive Vice President of Real Madrid Foundation, and María José© Toro Sánchez, President of Xcalibur Foundation, in a ceremony attended by Álvaro Arbeloa, Real Madrid’s Ambassador.

The Foundations reach the district of Nakawa, in Kampala, targeting an initial group of 160 children and youth from Naguru Katali Primary School. The school is located in the Naguru slum, a settlement that lacks basic needs such as access to drinking water, shelter, health and education.

The project, in collaboration with the Real Madrid Foundation and MTN Uganda, will be operated by the local NGO Youth Sport Uganda (YSU). Moreover, it counts on the support of the Ugandan government, materialized through the Ministry of Education and Sports, with whom Xcalibur Foundation has signed a MoU.

School teachers and community facilitators will be trained under Real Madrid Foundation’s unique and pioneer education in values methodology: for a Real Education: Values and Sport, to run sport and social activities with children and youth.

These activities will enhance the life skills of children and youth, and address issues of wellbeing, child protection, conflict management, gender equality, disability and inclusion as well as positive child and youth development.

It is worth highlighting the role of MTN Uganda, who has been committed to support this project, not only as the Title sponsor, but also through the institutional and personal involvement of its employees and managers. From the beginning, MTN has shown its passion, solidarity, and dedication, to be a part of this project and participate in all its stages.

María José Toro Sánchez expressed her gratitude and enthusiasm for a project that will encourage school commitment and facilitate access to formal education, and promote key social values such as respect, equality, or health.

I hope that it will be the first of many projects we do together. Soon after, Arbeloa explained: With this social sports academy that combines football values learning with comprehensive educational focus, the beneficiaries themselves will become catalysts for change in their environments, and this projection into the future, forward, is the most important thing: changing lives through sport.

Xcalibur Multiphysics signs a contract with the Ministry of Mines for the aerogeophysical and geological mapping of The Democratic Republic of Congo

Warning: Constant template_defecto already defined in /app/wp-content/themes/xcalibur/blocks/Columns/index.php on line 24

The Minister of Mines of the DRC, Antoinette NSamba Kalambayi, together with Andrés Blanco, CEO of Xcalibur Multiphysics

Last Tuesday, April 5th, Xcalibur Multiphysics completed the signing of the contract for the geophysical and geological Mapping of the DRC.

In representation of the Minister of Mines, Mrs. Antoinette NSamba Kalambayi, the Spanish Ambassador to the DRC, Mr. Carlos Robles Fraga, and several officials of the specialized services and the Mining Administration attended the event where Xcalibur Multiphysics completed the signing of the contract.

According to the Minister, this contract represents the fulfillment of an important part of the DRC government’s action program, as it will make a significant change in the financing of the country’s infrastructures and economic sectors and will facilitate the protection and sustainable management as well as the revaluation of mining assets.

For the DRC, this ambitious research will allow to plan and enhance the development of the mining industry and the country’s entire economy.

At once, the Director General of the National Geological Survey of Congo, Prof. Donat Kampata, recalled the history of the creation of his service in response to the needs of the mining sector, and presented the advantages of this contract for both the Ministry of Mines and the geological survey. With this project, the Government will be able to plan the development of the mining industry and negotiate with investors.

Mr. Andrés Blanco, CEO of Xcalibur Multiphysics, a world leader in airborne and marine geophysics, highlighted the true significance of this project. It will allow the country to discover and develop the great potential of its natural resources using the best available technology for obtaining accurate data, so as to attract international investors in the best conditions and develop the mining industry in a truly sustainable way.

With this project, Xcalibur adds another landmark in its successful history, with more than 50 million linear kilometers of data obtained and processed, continuing with the execution of natural resource mapping projects with safety, sustainability, technological innovation, operational excellence and cost efficiency at the heart of its core values.

At the end of June this year, Xcalibur Airborne Geophysics completed its acquisition of all the CGG Multiphysics businesses, except the multi-client library

Minute to Read by GEO ExPro

Xcalibur has been in operation since 2002 with over 4 million line-km of data collected. It has operated successfully in most countries in Africa as well as the Middle East and Canada. The company has offices in Spain, South Africa, and Colombia and operates a fleet of aircraft which allows them to collect data in challenging environments due to their low-level flying ability and power to weight ratios.

The new combined group will be named Xcalibur Multiphysics and will be able to offer these services on a global basis with additional offices located in North and South America, Europe, Africa, and Australia.

The enlarged company is hoping to take advantage of the projected increase in exploration activities prompted by the surge in demand for minerals resources and underground water, related to the energy transition, green energies, and sustainability challenges. They are currently also engaged in several R&D projects, including the application of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in natural resources and sustainable exploration.
