Viridien and BGP Win Guyana 3D Seismic Program

Ministry of Natural Resources of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana to launch a massive multi-client 3D seismic acquisition and imaging program across the shallow water acreage lots 2, 3 and 4, an area comprising approximately 25,000 square kilometers.New data will be acquired by BGP and high-end seismic imaging will be performed by Viridien, applying its industry-leading proprietary advanced workflows, including state-of-art shallow water demultiple and time-lag full-waveform inversion (TLFWI). The resulting new subsurface images, along with any potential future reimaging of existing seismic data,
