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.
