Subsurface Imaging expert talks to Offshore magazine about the latest advances in seismic acquisition and imaging

Paris, France | Aug 3, 2026

In an exclusive interview with Offshore, published in June 2026, Rongxin Huang, VP, US Imaging, explains how advances in OBN acquisition and FWI are delivering more accurate velocity models and higher-fidelity imaging, enabling offshore operators to reduce uncertainty, improve exploration outcomes and accelerate investment decisions.

"The combined advances in OBN acquisition and FWI technology have significantly improved exploration success rates and reduced subsurface uncertainty for operators. The ability to generate accurate velocity models and high-fidelity structural and amplitude images directly translates to improved reservoir characterization, higher confidence in volumetric estimates, and better well placement, each of which reduces financial and operational risk."
