The Fourth EAGE Workshop on Marine Acquisition will take place once again in Oslo on the 2-4 September 2024. This popular workshop will be a forum for operators, contractors, manufacturers, and academia to discuss latest geophysical and technical developments and innovations as well as applications. We will take a closer look at recent advances in marine seismic equipment, operations, and survey design. Recently, the energy trilemma has forced the industry to review strategies and the corresponding technology demand. Challenges and change can drive innovation in the industry forward. In response, this workshop will not only explore solutions for hydrocarbon exploration and production seismic but also cover energy transition related applications such as CCS and Offshore Wind. While marine seismic methods will again be the key focus of the workshop, contributions related to other relevant marine geophysical methods are very welcome.

The workshop aims to provide a comprehensive overview on the latest advances in marine acquisition covering seismic source and sensor technologies, novel acquisition geometries and survey design solutions, as well as operational aspects.

We would like to share recent experiences and lessons learned from case studies and explore future visions. The workshop scope covers a wide range of applications from hydrocarbon exploration and reservoir monitoring to Energy Transition related topics such as high resolution near surface methods for offshore wind, CCS development surveys and monitoring, nuclear waste management as well as marine mineral exploration.
