Australian seismic players DUG Technology and Searcher Seismic have signed an agreement for the provision of multi-client 3D seismic data reprocessing offshore Malaysia’s East Sarawak.
Under the terms of the agreement, DUG and Searcher will reprocess previously acquired 3D seismic surveys within the agreed East Sarawak multi-client reprocessing area.
The companies will reprocess over 60 legacy 3D surveys, covering up to 45,000 sq km, from original field data using its advanced FWI imaging technology and pre-stack imaging workflows to produce a high-quality 3D seismic volume.
The new, reprocessed multi-client 3D dataset will be made available for licensing to petroleum exploration and development companies, enabling them to undertake more extensive evaluations of the remaining hydrocarbon potential in and around existing fields and infrastructure.
The project is expected to commence in the first quarter of 2026, with final deliverables available from early 2027. Interim results will be available to assist with early acreage evaluation.
“The reprocessing will provide uplifted imagery, enabling increased prospectivity and driving exploration success in the region,” said Alan Hopping, managing director of Searcher Seismic.
