Map showing location of the Langkasuka MC3D hybrid survey; Courtesy of Viridien Earth Data Viridien has started seismic imaging of the Langkasuka multi-client 3D (MC3D) hybrid survey offshore West Peninsular Malaysia, described as the flagship combined streamer and sparse OBN multi-client 3D seismic dataset acquired in the Asia-Pacific region. This project is supported by a high level of industry funding, and early results will be available in October 2026

Building on the success of our Langkasuka basin study last year, the Langkasuka MC3D demonstrates Viridien’s commitment to leveraging its high-end imaging expertise to make proprietary-grade, drill-ready data available through a multi-client framework to help explorers unlock the potential of promising frontier basins. ” The French firm emphasizes that the project launch marked the first deployment of dual Sercel TPSTM broadband seismic sources on a hybrid-receiver survey in the region
