Seabed logging accelerates the offshore exploration process in frontier and mature regions, improving the ability of supermajors to replace reserves.
Independents
Seabed logging reduces exploration risks, enabling independents to explore in regions that have previously been the preserve of large companies.
New technologies are not the reserve of any one type of exploration company; NOCs are using seabed logging to improve their ability to find hydrocarbons.
Government agencies
Government agencies are using seabed-logging surveys to maximise interest in acreage offered during licensing rounds.
