	SCHEDULE 13G - TO BE INCLUDED IN 
STATEMENTS
	FILED PURSUANT TO RULE 13d-1(b) or 13d-2(b)



	Pursuant to the instructions in Item 7 of Schedule 13G, 
Fidelity Management & Research Company ("Fidelity"), 82 
Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, a wholly-
owned subsidiary of FMR Corp. and an investment adviser 
registered under Section 203 of the Investment Advisers Act 
of 1940, is the beneficial owner of 670,268 shares or 5.521% 
of the Common Stock outstanding of Generales des 
Geophysique CIE  ("the Company") as a result of acting as 
investment adviser to various investment companies registered 
under Section 8 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The 
number of shares of Common Stock of Generales des 
Geophysique CIE owned by the investment companies at 
November 30, 2005 included 49,672 shares of Common Stock 
resulting from the assumed conversion of 157,300 shares of 
GEOPHYSIQUE (CIE GEN)RT 12/2/5 (0.31578 shares of 
Common Stock for each share of Convertible Preferred 
Stock).

	The ownership of one investment company, Fid Fds - 
European Growth Pool, amounted to 974,993 shares or 
8.030% of the Common Stock outstanding. Fid Fds - 
European Growth Pool has its principal business office at 82 
Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109.

	Edward C. Johnson 3d and FMR Corp., through its 
control of Fidelity, and the funds each has sole power to 
dispose of the 670,268 shares owned by the Funds.

	Members of the family of Edward C. Johnson 3d, 
Chairman of FMR Corp., are the predominant owners, directly 
or through trusts, of Series B shares of common stock of FMR 
Corp., representing 49% of the voting power of FMR Corp.  
The Johnson family group and all other Series B shareholders 
have entered into a shareholders' voting agreement under 
which all Series B shares will be voted in accordance with the 
majority vote of Series B shares.  Accordingly, through their 
ownership of voting common stock and the execution of the 
shareholders' voting agreement, members of the Johnson 
family may be deemed, under the Investment Company Act of 
1940, to form a controlling group with respect to FMR Corp.

	Neither FMR Corp. nor Edward C. Johnson 3d, 
Chairman of FMR Corp., has the sole power to vote or direct 
the voting of the shares owned directly by the Fidelity Funds, 
which power resides with the Funds' Boards of Trustees.  
Fidelity carries out the voting of the shares under written 
guidelines established by the Funds' Boards of Trustees.

	Fidelity International Limited ("FIL"), Pembroke Hall, 
42 Crow Lane, Hamilton, Bermuda, and various foreign-based 
subsidiaries provide investment advisory and management 
services to a number of non-U.S. investment companies and 
certain institutional investors.  FIL, which is a qualified 
institution under section 240.13d-1(b)(1) pursuant to an SEC 
No-Action letter dated October 5, 2000, is the beneficial 
owner of 1,091,571 shares or 8.991% of the Common Stock 
outstanding of the Company. The number of shares of 
Common Stock of Generales des Geophysique CIE owned by 
the institutional account(s) at November 30, 2005 included 
261,971 shares of Common Stock resulting from the assumed 
conversion of 829,600 shares of GEOPHYSIQUE (CIE 
GEN)RT 12/2/5 (0.31578 shares of Common Stock for each 
share of Convertible Preferred Stock).

	Some or all of the shares of Common Stock of 
Generales des Geophysique CIE owned by the investment 
companies at November 30, 2005 may include shares 
represented by American Depository Shares.

	A partnership controlled predominantly by members of 
the family of Edward C. Johnson 3d, Chairman of FMR Corp. 
and FIL, or trusts for their benefit, owns shares of FIL voting 
stock with the right to cast approximately 38% of the total 
votes which may be cast by all holders of FIL voting stock.  
FMR Corp. and FIL are separate and independent corporate 
entities, and their Boards of Directors are generally composed 
of different individuals.

	FMR Corp. and FIL are of the view that they are not 
acting as a "group" for purposes of Section 13(d) under the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934" Act) and that 
they are not otherwise required to attribute to each other the 
"beneficial ownership" of securities "beneficially owned" by 
the other corporation within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 
promulgated under the 1934 Act.  Therefore, they are of the 
view that the shares held by the other corporation need not be 
aggregated for purposes of Section 13(d). However, FMR 
Corp. is making this filing on a voluntary basis as if all of the 
shares are beneficially owned by FMR Corp. and FIL on a 
joint basis.
