PANAMA CITY, PANAMA (By Piero Stewart, Energy Analytics Institute, 11.Mar.2026, Words: 225) â Viridien and BGP have entered into an agreement with the Ministry of Natural Resources of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana to launch a massive multi-client 3D seismic acquisition and imaging program across the shallow water acreage lots 2, 3 and 4, an area comprising approximately 25,000 km2.
New data will be acquired by BGP and high-end seismic imaging will be performed by Viridien, applying its industry-leading proprietary advanced workflows, including state-of-art shallow water demultiple and time-lag full-waveform inversion (TLFWI), Viridien said on 11 Mar. 2026 in an official statement.
âThe resulting new subsurface images, along with any potential future reimaging of existing seismic data, will help unlock the hydrocarbon potential of the shallow water portion of the basin and support Guyanaâs future licensing round in the area,â Viridien said.
“Viridien has worked closely with the government of Guyana for over 15 years, acquiring, imaging and enhancing the countryâs seismic data,â Joe Zhou, SVP, Americas, Earth Data, Viridien, said.
âTogether with our partner BGP, we are delighted to have this new opportunity to provide the high-quality data necessary for operators to make confident, data-driven decisions, and ultimately unlock the hydrocarbon potential of a largely unexplored part of the basin in Guyana.â
