The collaboration facilitates the seamless integration of best-in-class digital rock characterization at a nano, micro and macro level, which will enable U.S. clients to run pore-scale simulations in parallel with physical laboratory experiments.

RokDoc 2023.4 significantly streamlines workflows, saving time and enhancing overall usability.

The transaction establishes the combined company as a full-service geophysical data company with a strong offering in all segments, including multi-client data, streamer data acquisition, ocean bottom node (‘OBN') data acquisition, imaging and new energy data.

Geological evaluation of subsurface is an essential component of formation evaluation that connects well-centric data to reservoir scale. Recent technology breakthroughs in logging-while-drilling (LWD) borehole imaging and advanced surface logging have attracted substantial attention of the energy industry, more so for possible applications in sustainable energy initiatives. Digital innovations have led to development of smart and efficient solutions that can be made available in real-time for strategic decisions as the well gets drilled. Geology while drilling is taking the center stage from picking mineralogy on cuttings to inferring depositional architecture and structural framework with image logs with deep learning workflows and artificial intelligence embedded in the tools. Geothermal, hydrogen exploration and carbon sequestration all can benefit with these digital innovations in geology while drilling.

An advantage unique to MetaBlue is its ability to bring together all the information relating to an offshore seismic survey within a single ecosystem.

The survey is the third phase of a multi-year contract awarded initially by PETRONAS in August 2020 to acquire and process up to 105,000 km2 of multiclient 3D seismic data over a 5-year period in the Sarawak basin.

Globe combines proprietary computational modelling and AI-led machine learning techniques with Getech’s geoscientific expertise to deliver a unique Earth model that enables its customers to identify new resource exploration opportunities.

This solution for onshore subsurface data acquisition empowers clients with the fastest conceivable access to their seismic images. By processing the data at its source, companies can now attain subsurface insights in record time.

A hybrid geophysical method enables engineers to understand the relationship between saltwater injection in the Ellenburger formation of West Texas and associated earthquake activity. The innovative combination of technologies provides operators with a reliable earthquake probability map to guide planning of injection wells and schedules to avoid environmental issues.

The latest updates to the Versal platform are designed to offer even more convenience and scalability for exploration and production, data management and procurement team members through the introduction of Versal Pro and Premium tiers.

SeismicAI joined The Petroleum Alliance of Oklahoma in order to facilitate the implementation of innovative EEW advanced technology in the oil and gas industry. Additionally, SeismicAI is working with the Oklahoma Geological Survey to apply the SeismicAI early-warning techniques with data from a real-time statewide seismic network.

Petro Victory Energy Corp. announced the appointment of Mr. Gervasio Barzola as an Advisor to the CEO, with responsibility for directing and leading the Geological & Geophysical (G&G) Subsurface team.

CGG announced that Sercel has been awarded multiple major equipment contracts by BGP Inc., a global geophysical services provider. The contracts include the delivery of 54 Nomad 65 Neo vibrator trucks and 29,000 GPR300 seabed nodes.

The reprocessing addendum enhances a multi-year contract awarded initially by Petronas in August 2020 to acquire and process up to 105,000 km² of multi-client 3D data over a 5-year period in the basin.

This 3D is crucial to enhancing the geological understanding of the sparsely explored offshore Gulf of Papua and developing drill ready prospects like those recently identified by a supermajor in the permit immediately adjacent to the Nanamarope 3D.

Equinor’s One Subsurface community will now have a standardized subsurface toolkit, which helps them to seamlessly introduce geoscientists into different projects.

The completed seismic acquisition program exceeds the initially planned area by more than 1,500 square kilometers. Initial acquisition results indicate a high-quality dataset can be expected.

The area, which includes blocks licensed by TotalEnergies SE and Africa Oil Corp, received the offshore exploration authorization from the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy on April 17, according to an email notice by Environmental Impact Management Services.

PEL 87 includes the very large Saturn turbidite complex that has been mapped. This complex shares many geologic characteristics and is on-trend with the Venus oil discovery made by TotalEnergies in February 2022.
