TGS to Reprocesses Seismic Data for Petronas’ Megah Discovery
TGS has launched a 3D seismic reprocessing project covering about 514 square kilometers over Petronas’ Megah discovery in Block SB-3K offshore Sabah, Malaysia, with final products expected in April 2027.The project will apply TGS' Elastic Multi-Parameter Full Waveform Inversion and depth imaging technologies to its legacy Geostreamer Sabah multi-client 3D Phase 2 dataset, which was acquired in 2017.Processing began in July 2026 and will use a high-resolution velocity model and diffraction imaging across the Megah field. Petronas made the Megah discovery in 2025.The reprocessed data is

and dynamic-positioning station keeping were used to hold the ROV on task.The combined system was controlled from ACUA Ocean's Remote Operations Centre at Turnchapel Wharf, with Forssea simultaneously supervising operations from its headquarters in Sète, France.The companies are targeting offshore inspection, repair and maintenance, survey and subsea infrastructure work with the integrated system."These trials prove we can open a weather window that conventional crewed vessels cannot work in, giving operators a wider weather window for inspection campaigns. Just as importantly, running
Fugro Completes Ultra-Deepwater Survey for Petronas
Fugro has completed an ultra-deepwater geohazard site survey for Petronas Carigali's Megah and Limbayong fields off Sabah, East Malaysia, using autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) technology.The offshore campaign ran from June to August 2026 and collected seabed and shallow subsurface data to identify geohazards and support engineering design and field development planning.Fugro deployed its Echo Surveyor 8 AUV from the Fugro Equator, with the AUV operating close to the seabed to acquire high-resolution bathymetric, geophysical and shallow subsurface data.The project marked the application of AUV
Shearwater Lines Up Three-Year South America OBN Campaign
Shearwater Geoservices has been awarded a three-year ocean bottom node (OBN) seismic acquisition contract by an undisclosed oil and gas company for work offshore South America, with operations set to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026.The contract includes firm scopes in the first and third years of the award period, as well as a framework for potential additional projects during the three-year term.Shearwater will deploy the SW Tasman using its internally developed Pearl node technology, while the SW Gallien will carry out source operations.Both vessels are expected to work on the campaign through
Omega Subsea to Deploy ROVs on NKT’s Cable Laying Vessels
Omega Subsea has secured a five-year agreement to provide ROV services for NKT's newbuild cable laying vessel (CLV) NKT Eleonora, expanding a partnership that already covers the NKT Victoria.The agreement follows a separate five-year contract announced in June for NKT Victoria, with mobilization activities for the two vessels now underway at shipyards in Ulsteinvik and Brattvåg.Eleonora, due to enter service in 2027, will have capacity to carry more than 23,000 tonnes of cable and will work on high-voltage power cable projects across Europe. The Salt Ship Design vessel is being built and
Fugro Adds More Survey Work off Timor-Leste
, reduce project risk, and advance the Greater Sunrise and Bayu Undan developments in Timor-Leste,” said Safri Drahman, Fugro APAC Regional Business Line Director.The work will also be supported by Fugro's Remote Operations Centre in Kuala Lumpur, enabling real-time collaboration between offshore and onshore teams
Stillstrom Picks Semco for Offshore Charging Equipment
Stillstrom by Maersk has signed a letter of intent (LOI) with Semco Maritime to manufacture and deliver a key part of its offshore vessel charging system, moving the technology into manufacturing following completion of its design phase.Semco Maritime will manufacture the local equipment room, or local equipment room (LER), which controls power, communications and safety functions across Stillstrom's offshore charging infrastructure.The containerized unit houses the transformer and medium-voltage switchgear used to transfer offshore-generated electricity from a wind farm to a vessel, alongside
SLPE Takes Foundation Design Role at EnBW's German Offshore Wind Farm
SLPE, part of Smulders, has secured a contract by EnBW to provide wind turbine foundation engineering for the planned 1 GW Dreekant offshore wind farm in the German North Sea.The scope covers concept engineering, front-end engineering design and detailed design of the wind turbine foundations. SLPE is also expected to support the project through fabrication, installation and commissioning after completing the detailed design phase.Dreekant offshore wind is being developed by EnBW in Germany's Exclusive Economic Zone, across an area of about 80 square kilometers where water depths range from 37 to
Saipem Taps Subsea Cable Assets for $20M Cable Campaign
Subsea Cable Assets (SCA) has secured its first contract, a roughly $20 million award from Saipem Contracting Netherlands for cable transportation and handling work supporting a major offshore energy project in the Caspian region.The scope covers engineering, equipment fabrication, installation and operation, demobilization and reinstatement, with SCA managing the campaign from equipment supply through to deployment.SCA will provide five cable transport carousels, each with a capacity of 1,100 tonnes, along with associated cable-handling equipment.The equipment will be mobilized on a cable transport
