Home Subsea Viridien embarks on first hybrid streamer-OBN 3D seismic survey in Asia-Pacific August 25, 2026, by France-based geophysical services company Viridien, formerly known as CGG, has kicked off the first-ever combined streamer and sparse ocean bottom node (OBN) multi-client 3D seismic survey in the Asia-Pacific region to shed light on the exploration potential of frontier basins.

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

Home Fossil Energy BW LNG builds on 174k LNG carrier workhorse with 177k cbm three-tank design August 25, 2026, by BW LNG, a liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipping company that is part of Singapore-based BW Group, has shed more light on its move that pushes LNG carrier capacity beyond the conventional 174,000-cubic-meter (cbm) design with a new 177,000-cbm, three-tank configuration, described as being able to carry more cargo while retaining the flexibility and terminal compatibility of the established vessel clas

The LNG vessel owner highlighted: “Rather than changing what already works, the 177k design takes the flexibility and compatibility of the 174k workhorse and enhances it with greater carrying capacity and efficiency. “By combining proven technology with thoughtful innovation, BW LNG continues to advance LNG shipping for the years ahead

The firm described the design as an evolution of the established 174,000-cbm vessel rather than a departure from it, arguing that the additional capacity can be achieved while maintaining the operational flexibility and compatibility associated with the class. The LNG vessel owner highlighted: “Rather than changing what already works, the 177k design takes the flexibility and compatibility of the 174k workhorse and enhances it with greater carrying capacity and efficiency

Home Subsea TGS secures encore for giant seismic campaign off Indonesia’s coast August 25, 2026, by Norwegian energy data and intelligence company TGS is staying longer on a seismic acquisition campaign off the coast of Indonesia, which extends work aboard its 2008-built vessel and reinforces the company’s revenue visibility. Ramford Sovereign; Source: TGS TGS has won a one-month extension to what it deems to be the largest seismic streamer acquisition contract offshore Indonesia

Ramford Sovereign; Source: TGS TGS has won a one-month extension to what it deems to be the largest seismic streamer acquisition contract offshore Indonesia. This extension is scheduled to begin in August 2028

The work is being carried out by the 102-meter Ramform Sovereign, which is one of the firm’s high-capacity seismic vessels, capable of towing up to 22 streamers to collect broadband subsurface data

Brightstar Resources’ first diamond hole to pass 1000m at Two Mile Hill has intersected more than 500m of mineralised tonalite, materially expanding the interpreted host intrusion at its 2. 9-million-ounce (Moz) Sandstone gold project in Western Australia

The deeper work builds on drilling reported in May, when visible gold at depths beyond 550m strengthened Brightstar’s case for a potential underground operation at Two Mile Hill. The combined Two Mile Hill–Shillington deposit now hosts 14

The results have prompted Brightstar to name the deep extension the ‘Shirvington Zone’, with updated modelling suggesting the tonalite is now more than 300m wide horizontally at about 700m below surface and remains open at depth
