The RDI MC2D, acquired with an extended 16 s TWT record, images the full crustal thickness and the entire sedimentary column in the deep Vøring and Møre basins as well as in the North Sea.

The Regional Deep Imaging Project is supported by work conducted with the Geological of Norway (NGU) and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). Research by Peron Pindivic et al (2023) on the Norwegian Sea dataset (RDI19) underpins the consistent margin-domain framework applied across the area.
‘This reprocessing programme represents a technically innovative step-change for the dataset, applying the latest advancements in broadband processing, noise suppression and velocity model-building,’ said Geoex.
Phase I of reprocessing focuses on delivering significant uplift to the Norwegian Sea portion of the survey through modern deghosting, designature, denoise and demultiple techniques, along with an enhanced velocity model for PSDM. These improvements will sharpen the imaging of Palaeozoic and Mesozoic stratigraphy and refine Top Basement definition, directly supporting improved charge modelling, reservoir prediction, and risk reduction during acreage evaluation, the company added. ‘MC2D provides the geological insight needed to understand source rock maturation and reservoir distribution across the Norwegian Sea.’
The fully reprocessed phase I dataset will be available in Q4 2026.
