Viridien has announced a new basin-scale reimaging program within the hydrocarbon-prolific Balingian-Luconia-Baram basins, in collaboration with PETRONAS, through Malaysia Petroleum Management.

Viridien will leverage its industry-leading imaging technologies to reimage 44,000 km2 of legacy 3D seismic data, commencing in January 2026 with a basin-wide post-stack merge to deliver early data and key insights for further high-end reimaging. Prefunding is now open, allowing early participants to access initial results and benefit from enhanced imaging beneath complex carbonate sequences and resolve long-standing velocity and attenuation challenges to unlock underexplored plays.

Dechun Lin, Head of Earth Data, Viridien, said: “Supported by Viridien’s extensive regional imaging experience and geological insights from our proprietary GeoVerse™ database, the project will deliver a clearer, more reliable subsurface picture, enabling higher-confidence interpretation and improved prospect identification.”
