Teledyne Geophysical Instruments, a division of Teledyne Marine, is proud to announce that
eXtreamer, its advanced small form factor seismic streamer, has received a 2026 Spotlight on New Technology Award, from the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC). The award recognizes innovative technologies that demonstrate significant advancement, uniqueness, and commercial impact within the offshore energy industry.
Developed in collaboration with Geometrics, Inc.,
eXtreamer addresses the growing demand for ultra-high-resolution (UHR) and ultra-ultra-high-resolution (UUHR) marine seismic data acquisition. The system combines a robust yet flexible streamer design with scalable electronics to support a wide range of survey configurations.
eXtreamer is engineered to handle the channel spacing, density, and bandwidth required by modern seismic standards, while maintaining exceptional durability in challenging environments. Its scalable, flexible design minimizes downtime, supports rapid deployment and redeployment across consecutive or concurrent projects, and lowers overall cost.
“Receiving the 2026 Spotlight on New Technology Award is a proud moment for our team,” said Holli Sims, Vice President and General Manager of Teledyne Geophysical Instruments.
“It validates the vision behind eXtreamer and the hard work invested in creating a solution that delivers both technical excellence and real operational value for our customers.”
Bart Hoekstra, President of Geometrics, added,
“This recognition reinforces what we set out to achieve with eXtreamer - an innovative streamer that combines exceptional durability, flexibility, and ultra high resolution performance. We are delighted to see the technology acknowledged by the industry.”
The OTC Spotlight on New Technology Award highlights technologies that are shaping the future of offshore energy. The eXtreamer system represents continued collaboration between Teledyne Geophysical Instruments and Geometrics to set new standards for performance, reliability, and operational efficiency in modern seismic data acquisition.
