ArafuraBasin ARAFURA UNVEILED: MAPPING ENERGYFRONTIERS The Arafura Basin in southern Papua represents one of the last great frontiers in exploration offshore Indonesia. Long overlooked, this vast geological setting within Indonesia is now emerging with immense potential—poised for discovery and growth. Indonesia has been extensively surveyed, yet its sheer scale leaves many regions underexplored. The Arafura […]

PELOTASBASIN A RISING GLOBAL EXPLORATION HOTSPOT The Pelotas Basin, located offshore southern Brazil, represents a large and still largely underexplored frontier along the South Atlantic margin, offering long‑term exploration potential within a stable and well‑established offshore jurisdiction. Exploration activity to date has been limited and largely based on legacy data. Its tectonic position along the […]

FOZ DOAmazonAS A WORLD-CLASS FRONTIER, ANCHORED IN PROVEN ANALOGY The Foz do Amazonas Basin shares the same fundamental geological framework as the Guyana and Suriname basins, which have already delivered major oil discoveries. All three sit along the Equatorial Atlantic margin and developed under similar conditions, resulting in comparable rock types and exploration plays. Despite […]

OrangeBasin A NEW CHAPTER FOR AFRICAN EXPLORATION Africa’s energy landscape is entering a new phase of opportunity. Demand is rising, oil and gas will remain a core part of the mix, and finding the barrels to meet it makes exploration as important as ever. While the multiclient market has historically faced challenges due to variable […]

The vessel is being sold to an undisclosed party for conversion to a dedicated source vessel. The agreed sales price for the vessel and associated equipment […]

While Shearwater’s Pearl node solved the first half of that equation, shrinking node weight from 20kg to a manageable 6kg, the second half remained: how do we make high-speed data harvesting and charging truly mobile? The answer is the Reef containerised system. Plug-and-play scalability The beauty of the Reef container lies in its modularity. Because […]

Faced with the challenge of storing 1 gigaton of CO₂ in the complex Morecambe Bay gas fields, Spirit Energy and Shearwater overcame legacy data limitations to deliver a transformative seismic dataset. The result was clear imaging that de-risked the overburden, sharpened reservoir insight, and met regulatory milestones — setting a new standard for carbon capture […]

Why this matters Today, oil and gas reservoir monitoring relies heavily on ocean bottom node (OBN) and towed streamer surveys. These approaches are proven and highly capable, but not always the most practical fit for every objective . That’s where DAS becomes a potential enabler for a more cost-effective , practical monitoring. By turning existing […]
