Silver-Eye 3D Seismic Survey

Stop Hammer Time – Expanding Insights into the Hammerfest Basin

The Silver-Eye 3D Seismic Survey, spanning a vast 4,500 square kilometers, covers the northern and southern fringes of the Hammerfest Basin, Norway. It significantly enhances 3D visibility over this highly prospective basin, unmasking new exploration prospects. The data reveals rich imagery of subterranean structures, ushering in unprecedented insight to fuel exploration and further development activities.

The seismic data, processed by DownUnder GeoSolutions, offers superior quality and precision unmatched in its category, equipping exploration firms with a necessary tool to unravel the geological intricacies of the Hammerfest Basin and identify new hydrocarbon prospects.
