Paris, France | Jul 1, 2025
At EAGE 2025 in Toulouse, Peter Whiting discussed the power of Viridien’s latest seismic technologies for unlocking the US Gulf Subsalt.
In an exclusive interview with Upstream Online, Peter Whiting, Head of Geoscience, explains how Viridien’s latest seismic technologies, such as full-waveform inversion and the Sercel Tuned Pulse Source (TPS), are delivering outstanding early-out results from its Laconia 3D OBN multi-client seismic program in the US Gulf.
“We're seeing things now that we wouldn't have believed that we could see 10 years ago,”
He also discusses the impact of seismic imaging improvements for industry decision-making and the importance of hiring the best people to help meet the industry’s technical challenges.
“With every project that we do, it's an opportunity to improve our technology. So you need the people that are capable of understanding the problem and working with R&D to find a way to improve the technology to solve that problem.”
