What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Schlumberger New Zealand (SLB) secured a $14.5 million contract through the Gas Security Fund to create a basin-scale offshore pseudo 3D dataset using seismic technology. This project is intended to help secure New Zealand’s ongoing energy needs. The contract will integrate existing public and private datasets to improve understanding of underground geology in the Taranaki, East Coast, and Great South basins.
