About this update from Viridien

Back to Newsroom Viridien announces Charrua 3D seismic survey offshore Uruguay Paris, France | Mar 5, 2026 Viridien today announced the commencement of the Charrua 3D multi-client survey offshore Uruguay, marking a significant step forward in Uruguay's offshore energy development. Data acquisition will be conducted by the BGP Prospector and Viridien will leverage its advanced seismic imaging technologies, such as time-lag full-waveform inversion (TLFWI), to deliver high-resolution subsurface images. This project expands Viridien's multi-client data footprint and demonstrates the company's confidence in the long-term potential of the southern Atlantic Margin in Latin America as basins offshore Uruguay share strong parallels with Namibia's Orange Basin, where recent major light oil discoveries have confirmed a working Aptian petroleum system. The project is supported by industry funding. Dechun Lin, Head of Earth Data, Viridien, said: " We are proud to support Uruguay in unlocking what we believe is one of the next great energy frontiers. The Charrua survey marks a major milestone for Viridien as we deploy our most advanced seismic imaging technologies to deliver high-resolution data needed to de-risk exploration ."
