Shearwater Geoservices AS has been awarded a 3D seismic acquisition contract by Eni Timor 22-23 B.V. covering the PSC TL SO 22-23 area in the Timor Sea.

The scope comprises approximately 1,500 square kilometres. The project is scheduled to commence late in the first quarter of 2026, with the acquisition campaign expected to run for two months.
