process and has broad and far-reaching implications," said Bruce Porter, chief science officer for Austin, Texas-based SparkCognition. The technology would generate subsurface images using fewer seismic data scans than usual, helping with deep sea preservation, the companies said. Seismic technology sends sound waves to explore subsurface areas. Fewer seismic surveys accelerate exploration workflow and would save costs in high-performance computing, they added.(Reuters - Reporting by Stephanie Kelly; Editing by Richard Chang
