TGS Advances Seismic Imaging Across Three Offshore Basins
of the Keta Basin. TGS expects final products to be delivered in the first quarter of 2027.In Norway, TGS launched the Atlantic Margin South Reprocessing project, covering more than 23,000 sq km of 3D seismic data in the Norwegian Sea.The project will apply pre-stack depth migration and advanced imaging technologies, including machine learning-based denoising and Dynamic Matching elastic Full Waveform Inversion, to improve imaging in volcanic geology. Early products are expected in the third quarter of 2026, with the full dataset scheduled for completion in the second quarter of 2027.The company also
NORBIT Acquires Water Linked
NORBIT has acquired Trondheim-based Water Linked, a specialist in underwater navigation and imaging technologies for ROVs, AUVs and uncrewed surface vessels.Founded in 2013, Water Linked has developed a strong position in the subsea technology market with products including Doppler Velocity Logs (DVLs), 3D imaging sonars, acoustic positioning systems and underwater communication solutions. These technologies enable navigation, perception and autonomy in GPS-denied environments and are widely used in subsea inspection, offshore energy, marine research, defense and underwater infrastructure applications.
Viridien Kicks Off Multi-Client OBN Survey in North Sea’s Frigg Area
survey in the Frigg area of the Central Noth Sea.The survey area covers 645 km2, straddling the UK and Norwegian sectors, with the final processed deliverables expected to be available in the third quarter of 2027.As an OBN imaging specialist, Viridien will apply its proprietary OBN processing and imaging technologies, including Time-Lag Full-Waveform Inversion, to the new survey.The resulting dataset will deliver enhanced resolution and structural definition across the region’s complex geology and reservoirs. The survey, supported by industry funding, will add to Viridien’s growing multi-client
