About

We are a global marine geoscience and technology business

We study what lies beneath the seabed to discover natural resources. Energy companies use this information to plan ahead, helping us accelerate responsible use of the earth’s resources.

Over the years, we’ve become known for innovation and ground-breaking technology. The vessels and equipment we use are state-of-the-art, and the software we develop in-house is used by the best in the business.

Our head office is in Bergen, and we’re proud of our Norwegian heritage. But we’re at our best exploring the ocean’s depths, innovating to create new technologies and seeking out the answers to the planet’s deepest questions.

The environments and local societies where we work deserve to be treated with respect. And we take our sustainability commitments seriously.
