Representatives of Latitude Energy Inc., Shearwater Geoservices and Future Energy Partners, yesterday met with Minister of Natural Resources, Vickram Bharrat and team, to provide updates on the 3D Multi-client seismic survey offshore Guyana.
No further details were provided by the ministry in a brief note on its Facebook page.
On March 9th this year, the ministry announced the advancement of seismic data acquisition for a vast swathe offshore in a move to enable further oil and gas exploration.
In a release, the ministry said that the 3D Multi-Client Seismic Acquisition is being supported by Viridien following an international procurement pro-cess that began on September 6, 2024.
This partnership represents a major step in strengthening Guyana’s offshore petroleum framework and advancing the modernisation of the energy sector, the ministry stated then.
Viridien (formerly CGG Services (US) Inc.) and the Government of Guyana have maintained a working relationship since 2010, during which the company has been responsible for acquiring, processing and managing the country’s seismic data. This new agreement continues a long-standing partnership.
The release said that Viridien is a global advanced technology and Earth data company specialising in geoscience, subsurface imaging and high-performance computing for energy, mining and environmental sectors. The company has decades of experience in seismic acquisition and processing and is one of the foremost global experts in the field.
The 3D seismic survey is an advanced geophysical method that uses sound waves to create detailed, three-dimensional, high-resolution images of the earth’s subsurface, primarily used for mapping geological structures, identifying oil and gas deposits and optimising drilling, the ministry added.
