Building on the company’s recently completed, industry-backed reprocessing project—delivering over 7,000 sq km of high-quality reprocessed data—this next phase brings in cutting-edge interpretation workflows using Eliis’ PaleoScan™ software, providing a highly detailed and connected view of the basin’s geological architecture in a short turnaround time.

Eliis is a global leader in seismic interpretation software. Its flagship platform, PaleoScan, is used by leading energy operators, national energy companies, and academic institutions worldwide to accelerate and automate subsurface understanding and decision-making.

This collaboration blends Shearwater’s high-quality seismic data with Eliis’ advanced stratigraphic modelling to unlock fresh insights into sediment pathways, reservoir development, and trap integrity across this underexplored frontier.

Already, the work is driving significant geological maturity in key parts of the basin—critical for guiding exploration decisions for energy companies.

And it’s not just about insight. This work directly supports Shearwater’s ongoing survey modeling for a potential 3D seismic acquisition program, set to kick off in Q1 2026 within Shearwater’s permitted area.

By maturing the region ahead of new data acquisition, Shearwater is pinpointing key target intervals—helping the company’s clients de-risk future investments and fast-track prospectivity evaluation.

“With industry interest rising across Brazil’s Equatorial Margin, our integrated approach in Foz do Amazonas puts Shearwater and our partners right at the forefront of unlocking the basin’s exploration potential,” said Sindre Bull-Jansen, Lead Geoscientist, Multiclient Project Development at Shearwater.
