China Maps Ocean Floor as It Builds Submarine Warfare Capability
China is conducting a vast undersea mapping and monitoring operation across the Pacific, Indian and Arctic oceans, building detailed knowledge of marine conditions that naval experts say would be crucial for waging submarine warfare against the United States and its allies.In one example, the Dong Fang Hong 3, a research vessel operated by Ocean University of China, spent 2024 and 2025 sailing back and forth in the seas near Taiwan and the U.S. stronghold of Guam, and around strategic stretches of the Indian Ocean, ship-tracking data reviewed by Reuters shows. In October 2024, it checked on a set of
Viridien Starts Seismic Reprocessing Initiative for India’s Offshore Basins
Viridien has announced a new regional multi-client data initiative for the offshore basins of India, designed to deliver enhanced, data-driven exploration capabilities to industry operators.The initiative will start with Phase 1 Mahanadi Basin reimaging and merging of approximately 9000 sq km of 3D seismic data over the offshore East Coast Mahanadi Basin.Fast-track results will be ready by June 2026, with final data available by the end of 2026.The aim of the Phase 1 Mahanadi Basin reimaging project is to provide higher-quality imaging over proven petroleum system areas, as well as deeper water areas
Lamprell Secures ONGC Deal for Subsea Pipeline Replacement Project

DUG Hooks Multi-Client Seismic Reprocessing Survey off Malaysia
DUG Technology, in partnership with Searcher Seismic, has signed an agreement for the provision of multi-client 3D seismic data reprocessing offshore East Sarawak.Under the terms of the agreement, DUG and Searcher will reprocess previously acquired 3D seismic surveys within the agreed East Sarawak multi-client reprocessing area.DUG will reprocess over 60 legacy 3D surveys covering an area of up to 45,000 square kilometers from original field data using its advanced FWI imaging technology and pre-stack imaging workflows to produce one seamless 3D seismic volume of superior quality.The new, reprocessed
Eni Enlists Shearwater for 3D Seismic Survey in Timor Sea
Offshore seismic services firm Shearwater Geoservices has secured a 3D seismic acquisition contract by Eni, covering the PSC TL SO 22-23 area in the Timor Sea.The project comprises approximately 1,500 square kilometers and is scheduled to commence late in the first quarter of 2026.The two-month survey will be conducted by Shearwater’s high-capacity vessel SW Bly, leveraging the company’s advanced acquisition capabilities and processing software to fast-track delivery of high-quality Decision Ready Data directly from the vessel to the client.“This award strengthens Shearwater’s
SMD Books ROV, Trencher Orders for Asia’s Offshore Wind Sector
Subsea technology and services firm SMD has secured a multi‑vehicle contract in Asia’s emerging offshore wind sector, marking a milestone with the region’s first electric work‑class remotely operated vehicle (ROV) purchase.The deal will see delivery of one of SMD’s bespoke multi‑tool hard ground trenchers and an electric work‑class ROV, the Quantum EV, a first for the Asian market. The vehicles are designed to support subsea trenching and inspection operations associated with offshore wind farm construction.Electric work‑class ROVs are increasingly used in offshore energy markets as
Viridien Kicks Off Multi-Client Reimaging Program off Malaysia
French seismic firm Viridien has announced a new basin-scale reimaging program within the hydrocarbon-prolific Balingian-Luconia-Baram basins, in collaboration with Petronas, through Malaysia Petroleum Management.Viridien will leverage its imaging technologies to reimage 44,000 km2 of legacy 3D seismic data, starting in January 2026 with a basin-wide post-stack merge to deliver early data and key insights for further high-end reimaging.Prefunding is now open, allowing early participants to access initial results and benefit from enhanced imaging beneath complex carbonate sequences and resolve long-stand
