Viridien Starts Seismic Reprocessing Initiative for India’s Offshore Basins
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 where exploration of new thermogenic
Hull Cleaning Robotics: Army Beats Navy – the Hegseth Way!
after we had secured all necessary safety protocols and logistics. That's when American grit and determination turned the tide. An urgent Friday afternoon outreach to Greensea IQ proved decisive: The company immediately mobilized, funding its own travel, shipping its EverClean robots from the East Coast to Hawaii, and arriving ready to tackle a fouled hull—all in under 4 days.This swift response aligns perfectly with the sweeping acquisition reforms unveiled by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth in a recent speech. Secretary Hegseth emphasized that defense industry partners must invest their
Fugro Wraps Up Survey at Dogger Bank South Offshore Wind Farm
- DBS East and DBS West - with an estimated combined capacity of 3 GW.RWE leads both DBS projects, overseeing development, construction, and operations on behalf of partners RWE and Abu Dhabi's Masdar.The projects are located on Dogger Bank, a shallow area of the North Sea over 100km off the North East coast of England.In July 2025, the U.K. Planning Inspectorate has concluded its six-month Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) examination period for the DBS offshore wind farms, with the consent decision expected soon.Masdar, RWE Get Closer to Official Go-Ahead for 3GW UK Offshore Wind Farm
Sonardyne Takes Charge of Passive Seismic Monitoring for UK’s First CCS Site
and operate advanced ocean bottom seismometers (OBSs) manufactured by Germany’s KUM. The units will be installed on the seabed above the Endurance reservoir, about 75 km off the Yorkshire coast.NEP will transport CO2 captured from emitters in Teesside and the Humber, known collectively as the East Coast Cluster, to Endurance and neighboring sites. The initial phase of the project envisages storing up to 100 million tonnes of CO₂ over 25 years, contributing to decarbonization in one of the UK’s most emissions-intensive industrial regions.“NEP is continuing to lead the UK's journey
First Export Cable Laid at Scotland’s 1.1GW Offshore Wind Farm
Enshore Subsea has installed the first of two offshore export cables at Inch Cape offshore wind farm, using the CMOS Installer cable laying vessel.Operating from the Port of Blyth, the vessel installed the first of two 85-kilometre export cables for the 1.1 GW offshore wind farm, being built off the east coast of Scotland.The 220 kV, three-phase export cable was installed in three 28-kilometre sections.Once operational, the cable will transmit power from the offshore wind farm to the project’s new onshore substation under construction at Cockenzie, East LothianThe cable required two offshore joints
Seismometers Retrieved for Slow-Slip Earthquake Study
A major three-year international scientific experiment to monitor slow slip earthquake activity at the Hikurangi subduction zone off the East Coast of New Zealand has concluded, with the retrieval of 52 ocean bottom seismometers using New Zealand’s Research Vessel Tangaroa.Subduction zones are where one tectonic plate “dives” or subducts beneath another. These dangerous fault lines produce the world’s largest earthquakes and tsunamis, such as the 8.8 magnitude earthquake offshore Kamchatka earlier this year.Beginning in late 2022, an international group of scientists from New
Greensea IQ’s Hull Cleaning Service Expands to Port of New York and New Jersey
Greensea IQ announced the expansion of its EverClean hull cleaning service to the Port of New York and New Jersey, the largest port complex on the U.S. East Coast and the second-busiest container port in the country. With operations now based in Monroe Township, NJ, EverClean is well positioned to serve the region’s extensive container shipping fleet with proactive, in-water hull grooming.EverClean’s robotic service removes microfouling before it becomes a problem, optimizing vessel performance, reducing fuel consumption, and lowering emissions. Unlike traditional in-water cleaning
Aquaterra Energy to Deliver Well Services Work for North Sea CCS Project
Offshore engineering solutions provider Aquaterra Energy has secured two major contracts to support the Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP), the CO2 transportation and storage provider for the East Coast Cluster.The project, which will initially serve three carbon capture projects in the Teesside region is the first offshore carbon capture and storage (CCS) project in the U.K. to receive a carbon storage permit.The contracts were awarded following successful commercial and technical evaluations. The first will address the challenge of safely re-abandoning two legacy wells - a critical step in securing
An Unintentional Iron Fertilization Experiment
beyond 42 north, but we expect that impacts would reach up to Alaska.”There are likely key areas of anthropogenic iron release in South America and Southern Africa that will grow over time, he says. It’s also likely that there were significant emissions during industrialization of the US east coast and throughout western Europe that would have added iron to the North Atlantic. These would have been most intense during the 20th century, and the impacts on the Atlantic resulting from this have probably come and gone.“Our results indicate that a widespread unintentional iron fertilization
