Summary
- Building on pioneering research from IC, we're now creating proprietary next-generation FWI technology (XWITM) to eliminate human bias and provide a step-change in seismic imaging quality at S-Cube.
- Delivering on the potential of XWITM to unlock untapped value for operators accessing under-explored hydrocarbon plays in deep-water sub-salt settings where conventional seismic imaging is severely limited, and tens of billions of dollars have been lost drilling dry holes.
