CGG Launches SeaScope as Part of Expanding Environmental Monitoring Portfolio
CGG has launched SeaScope, an innovative pollution monitoring solution, as part of its growing portfolio of products and services for environmental application.
Combining expertise in remote sensing science, Earth observation data, machine learning and high- performance computing, SeaScope provides critical sea surface slick intelligence for a range of industries to strengthen situational awareness of the interaction between offshore assets, coastal facilities, local vessel activity and the natural marine environment.
For energy companies with offshore assets, SeaScope’s proactive monitoring enables the establishment of production water baselines and provides early
detection of anomalous events and third-party pollution incidents, as well as surveillance of natural seeps. It also supports the creation of a growing evidence base of responsible operations for stakeholders such as operators, regulators, investors and insurers, etc.
Capitalizing on over 25 years of experience in advanced processing and analysis of satellite data at CGG, SeaScope provides unique environmental awareness and insight to mitigate risk. The solution was developed with the support of the European Space Agency together with a group of energy companies and emergency response organizations. This process included a highly successful 12-month prototype demonstration across assets in the North Sea along with select producing regions of the Gulf of
Mexico and South-East Asia. SeaScope is highly scalable and can deliver remote monitoring across global asset portfolios.
Peter Whiting, SVP, Geoscience, EAME, CGG, said: “SeaScope is the latest in our expanding portfolio of environmental monitoring solutions that are underpinned by our unique combination of geoscience and data science expertise and technology. With Seascope, CGG will help a range of offshore industries to mitigate risks, respond quickly to events and support their environmental and operational transparency measures, and related ESG commitments.”
Benthic Completes Santos Dorado Field Geotechnical Site Investigation
Services, Australia Benthic, a global geosciences company and part of the geo- services segment within marine energy and infrastructure services group Acteon, has provided Santos with geotechnical site investigation services at the Dorado field off the coast of Western Australia.
The work included geophysical and geotechnical surveys, consisting of multiple Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) and borehole locations up to 100m.
The company used its PROD2 seabed drilling and geotechnical testing system, a proprietary portable remotely operated drill that can switch between piston sampling

and rotary coring to maximize productivity. The tool can recover 75mm diameter cores with continuous sampling capability in water depths to 3,000m. It also operates on the seabed and is isolated from vessel motion via a slack umbilical, which reduces weather sensitivity and downtime, resulting in more efficient operations. PROD2 executed the project onboard the MMA Vigilant.
The project leveraged Benthic personnel in the Australian region and use of the PROD2 asset working in the region. Benthic’s long and successful Australian offshore execution capability is supported by a very experienced 100% Australian offshore crew, which presented a low risk and efficient solution to the client.
Steve Stuart, General Manager Asia Pacific at Benthic Geotech Pty Ltd, says: “This project is a testament to our long-standing geotechnical track record in Australia. The team and I are very proud of the exceptional safety and operational performance delivered on this project.”
