Global Geophysical prices low, sells less-underwriter

NEW YORK, April 21 (Reuters) - Oil and gas services company Global Geophysical Services Inc (GGS.N) priced shares in its initial public offering below the expected range on Wednesday and sold fewer than expected shares, according to an underwriter.

Missouri City, Texas-based Global Geophysical sold 7.5 million shares for $12 each, raising about $90 million. It had originally planned to sell 11.5 million shares for $15 to $17 each, but earlier on Wednesday cut the number of shares it expected to sell to 9.5 million.
