1.


On 1 April 2015, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which Compagnie Générale de Géophysique SA (‘CGG’, France) and Wood Mackenzie Limited (‘Wood Mackenzie’, United Kingdom) acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) and Article 3(4) of the Merger Regulation joint control of Petroleum Edge Limited (‘Petroleum Edge’, United Kingdom) by way of purchase of shares in a newly created company constituting a joint venture.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:
—   for CGG: the manufacture of geophysical equipment, the acquisition of geological data and the provision of geoscience services to customers primarily in the oil and gas exploration business,
