Ørsted Picks Rovco for Offshore Wind O&M Work in US
Offshore Wind FarmTo help inform Ørsted’s operations at these key sites, Rovco will carry out O&M work using remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), coupled with its simultaneous location and mapping SubSLAM technology.This will provide live stream inspections and precise real-time 3D reconstructions of site assets, supporting decision-making onshore. The full site data capture will also give Ørsted detailed insight into both the structures themselves and the surrounding environment.The agreement with Ørsted is a key development in Rovco’s expansion plans for
Shearwater and Mondaic Enter Strategic Alliance to Optimize Seismic Surveys
Marine seismic acquisition firm Shearwater Geoservices and Mondaic, a provider of proprietary software and services for high-resolution 3D imaging, have entered a strategic collaboration for development and use of full waveform inversion solutions to enhance high-resolution subsurface imaging and optimize seismic acquisition surveys.As part of the agreement, Shearwater has acquired exclusive and perpetual rights for the use and further development for subsurface applications of Mondaic’s wavefield simulation and inversion codes.Furthermore, Shearwater has acquired an equity stake in Mondaic.

Water Linked Introduces 3D Sonar Technology
Water Linked, a sensor and surveillance technology provider from Trondheim, Norway, is presenting a new form of 3D sonar technology at the Underwater Defense Technology exhibition this week.The Sonar 3D-15 provides real-time 3D imaging with point cloud generation, enabling live, precise and comprehensive visualization of underwater environments. Because of its high resolution and short-range capabilities it is especially useful for close-proximity operations, such as identification and classification of target types and inspection of hard to inspect areas, such as ship hulls. The Sonar 3D-15 provides
PGS Secures 3D Contract in South Atlantic
Marine seismic data company PGS has received a letter of award for a large 3D contract offshore South Atlantic margin from a multiclient company.A Ramform Titan-class vessel is scheduled for mobilization in June, with a forecast acquisition duration of up to 300 days.The value of the contract has not been disclosed, but PGS announces contract awards with a value of $10 million or more, multiclient projects with a duration of 2 months or more, and strategically important contracts.“Seismic activity offshore South Atlantic margin is increasing as a result of recent exploration success, and we are

4D seismic data,” said Rune Olav Pedersen, President & CEO in PGS.Ramform Tethys is a Titan-class ship as 24 streamer reels, 16 abreast with a further 8 in a second row.This allows the vessel to take full advantage of our GeoStreamer technology and perform acquisition of high-volume exploration 3D, or high-density 3D or 4D seismic data
Survey to Assess CCS and New Oil & Gas Opportunities Gets Underway Off Malaysia
Marine seismic data company TGS, together with joint venture consortium partners PGS and SLB, has kicked off a multi-client 3D seismic project in the Penyu Basin, offshore Peninsular Malaysia.The project aims to provide insights on the exploration opportunities in a broader play fairway and to assess the carbon storage potential across Penyu Basin area.It is being conducted in partnership with Malaysia Petroleum Management (MPM), which acts for and on behalf of state-owned energy giant Petronas in the overall management of Malaysia's petroleum resources.The acquisition of the new seismic data will

the North and South Morecambe gas fields into permanent, safe, and secure carbon storage, supporting the United Kingdom’s net zero ambition to capture and store over 50 million tonnes of CO2 per year by 2035.The survey will acquire and process around 500 square kilometers of high-resolution 3D seismic data over the Morecambe Bay gas fields to provide the detailed definition of the potential carbon storage sites."This achievement marks a pivotal point in our MNZ journey. We are progressing very well against our carbon storage license commitments and utilizing advanced technical approaches
