TECH SPOTLIGHT WFS Technologies’ Wins Prestigious
Industry Accolade WFS Technologies has been honoured with a top industry award after winning Oil & Gas UK’s Business Innovation accolade for its pioneering Seatooth® technology.
An industry first Seatooth technology enables the automation and digitalisation of subsea assets through its ability to communicate through steel, ground, sea water
and the water-air boundary, and performs a key role in tackling the real-time monitoring of offshore assets and production both above and below surface.
Moray Melhuish, Commercial Director at WFS Technologies, picked up the accolade at Oil & Gas UK’s annual awards ceremony which was held at Aberdeen’s P&J Live.
WFS Technologies commercial director, Moray Melhuish (centre), is presented with the Oil & Gas UK Business Innovation award by BBC journalist Victoria Derbyshire and Jean-Luc Guiziou, of Total.
“Winning the OGUK award for SME Business Innovation is tremendous industry recognition of the latest generation of Seatooth, which reinforces our commitment to delivering technologies which improve safety, reduce risk of environmental incidents as well as minimising the cost of ownership. It can perform a key role in tackling the real time fatigue monitoring of offshore structures including jackets, braces, risers and pipelines as well as monitoring subsea flow including pipeline temperature, sand and vibration.
“We congratulate all our team who were involved in developing the Seatooth for their sheer hard work and diligence which has resulted in a ground-breaking technology for the offshore energy industry.”

CGG Announces Largest OBN Multi-Client Survey in UK CNS
CGG announced today a program to deliver the largest OBN multi-client survey ever conducted in the UK Central North Sea (CNS). Planned to start in early 2020, the survey has already received significant industry interest and is being prefunded in part by BP. First results are targeted for Q1 2021.
In the CNS, where complex salt diapirism has created significant challenges to imaging deeper reservoir targets, this new survey, with its long- offset, full-azimuth coverage and good
low-frequency signal in a shallow water environment, together with CGG’s advanced imaging technology, will provide a step-change in seismic image and reservoir characterization quality. In the first phase of this multi-year program, CGG aims to acquire over 2,000 sq. km of OBN data.
CGG is a leading geoscience company recognized for delivering high-end, high-value multi-client data sets. As the industry leader in OBN processing, CGG is uniquely qualified to launch this landmark program and bring new understanding to the complex CNS region.

Sophie Zurquiyah, CEO, CGG, said: “We are pleased to initiate this exciting new OBN program which will deliver unprecedented industry insight and lead to a step- change in development in this critical Central North Sea area. Our asset-light configuration enables us to best take advantage of key opportunities and fully leverage our core capabilities. The new data set will also complement CGG’s extensive high- quality Cornerstone towed-streamer data library in the area and support the UK Oil & Gas Authority’s strategy for Maximizing Economic Recovery.”
