NCS SubSea has been acquired by Ocean Floor Geophysics Inc.

Together we will continue to provide premier ultrahigh resolution (UHR) 2D/3D/4D marine seismic surveys with the P-Cable system. P-Cable technology reduces risk and reveal opportunities so you can make informed, timely decisions for safely developing and optimizing the value of your offshore assets. This acquisition ensures you have precise, reliable data at a range of scales and depths that is uniquely suited to an energy market in transition.

P-Cable Technology

P-Cable is a compact, flexible offshore seismic data acquisition system combined with robust patented navigation and positioning support technology that provides extremely detailed ultrahigh-resolution images of the seafloor and subsurface geology. The extremely detailed data that P-Cable technology collects makes it the top choice for a multitude of marine seismic imaging challenges. P-Cable is an industry leading option for a wide array of applications and industries.

Applications & Industries Supported By P-Cable 3D Data

P-Cable UHR3D data has been utilized by a broad range of users – from national oil companies and industry supermajors to smaller independents and leading academic institutions – for a wide range of imaging applications including offshore exploration and field development, offshore wind farm surveys, reservoir management, deep and shallow-water geohazard surveys, carbon capture and sequestration projects, and marine geologic studies. Successful discovery and development of offshore resources relies on detailed marine 3D and 4D seismic imaging to optimize resource recovery as well as for siting seafloor infrastructure. Offshore industries that require accurate mapping of shallow gas, weak layers, faults, or other potential shallow subsurface geological hazards will see vast improvements in their understanding of these features thanks to superb spatial and temporal resolution of P-Cable data.
