Problem
Traditional marine geophysical surveys for oil and gas exploration can disrupt the ocean floor and lack the resolution of combined ocean bottom node and towed streamer seismic data acquisition methods. This can lead to suboptimal subsurface imaging and increased environmental impact.
Solution
PXGEO provides enhanced subsurface imaging solutions by integrating ocean bottom node (OBN) and towed streamer seismic data acquisition techniques. Their MantaRay™ is a hovering autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) engineered to deploy and recover OBNs with minimal disturbance to the ocean floor. This hybrid approach delivers high-quality seismic data, enabling informed decisions, minimizing exploration risks, and maximizing operational efficiency for clients in the oil and gas industry.
Target Audience
The primary customers are oil and gas companies requiring marine geophysical services for exploration and production.
