INTRODUCTION Towed-streamer blended acquisition using either overlapping or simultaneous sources is designed to deliver increased shot sampling and fold, enhanced resolution, and to optimize operational efficiency. During Q4 2021, several test lines of streamer data were acquired in the Australian Bass Strait to assess the impact of novel source configurations on data quality. In this […]

Story from Pia, Human Resources Internship Bergen – June 2021 – June 2022 The original plan has always been to be an engineer. Although I must admit that I had a brief dream of being a cashier at my local gas station (until I found out they didn’t get to eat the candy). From about […]

  Shearwater GeoServices (Shearwater) is pleased to announce the launch of Pearl, a significant advance in ocean bottom nodal technology with several industry-first innovations. The Pearl node offers a new standard for time and cost efficiency which expands the potential ocean bottom seismic market, enabling solutions to geoscience challenges that were previously not possible. Pearl […]

  Shearwater GeoServices Holding AS (“Shearwater”) is pleased to announce the award of a contract by bp, on behalf of the Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP), for geophysical data processing and imaging to advance the East Coast Cluster. The NEP enables the East Coast Cluster by providing the common infrastructure needed to transport CO2 from emitters […]

Shearwater GeoServices Holding AS (“Shearwater”) and Equinor are extending their collaboration to include Vår Energi and Lundin Energy Norway to accelerate the development and commercialisation of a sustainable marine vibratory source technology to minimise environmental footprint and enhance data quality from seismic data acquisition. This industry project builds on the existing technology cooperation between Shearwater, […]

ABSTRACT This paper presents acquisition and processing results from a 3D streamer acquisition trial of triple-source apparition data, with an emphasis on processing. We show that, after apparition de-blending, initial migration results did not show resolution improvements over a reference unblended dual-source dataset. However, attentive 3D processing of the same de-blended data gave substantial improvements […]

SUMMARY Marine seismic vibrators were introduced in the early 1970’s but have not achieved wide commercial use probably due to the relative simplicity and versatility of marine air-gun sources. There has recently been a resurgence of interested in marine vibrators due to their low environmental impact and because they are more controllable and efficient than […]

Story from Valeria, Software Engineer InternshipHøvik – Summer 2021 When making any academic or career choices, I have always chosen what I truly enjoy. Therefore, being fond of mathematics and physics, studying engineering was a natural path for me. As a result, I am about to start on the final year of my master’s in […]

Story from Vegar, Mechanical Engineer InternshipHøvik – Summer 2021 My name is Vegar, and I am one of this year’s summer interns. I study for a master’s degree in product development and production (also known as mechanical engineering) and I am now finished with my third year. I have always liked creating stuff, whether it […]

Story from Emily, Supply Chain Internship Bergen – Summer 2021 The first thing I noticed when starting my Supply Chain internship at Shearwater was how I was immediately treated as an employee that could bring value to the company, and there was good overlap with tools used during my studies and during the COVID pandemic […]
