Revenue increased sequentially due mainly to higher WesternGeco Marine proprietary surveys and multiclient sales, and to greater Wireline exploration activity, with a partial recovery from the previous quarter's exceptional weather and geopolitical events.
In North America, data processing of the multiclient E-Wave* advanced imaging project with full waveform inversion FWI covering parts of the Green Canyon, Garden Banks, Keathley ❋ Unknown (2011)
So there was a much higher level of international multiclient than we normally would expect in the second quarter of the year.
So it's obviously with the -- if the lease sale, when the lease sale is announced in the Gulf of Mexico, that's going to draw a significant amount of multiclient activity back into the Gulf, which there is going to give some pricing traction.
But also, we are seeing very good applications for our high-end technology both in the third-party market, but even more so on the multiclient.
The question in the overseas is normally the block sizes are so big, the number of players is much smaller and therefore, it's much harder to choose a multiclient target survey that's going to have general appeal.
In addition to this multiclient project, five proprietary FWI projects have commenced. ❋ Unknown (2011)
Your customer base on the multiclient, internationally, I think it's always been kind of a little bit more on the independent side on the U.S., how does that change internationally, in terms of kind of who that customer mix is?
In the Gulf of Mexico, all our deepwater startups were conducted flawlessly, and we also started a new multiclient seismic survey using our latest Dual Coil Shooting technology.
And then I guess secondly is a follow-on to Andrew's comment that perhaps the multiclient outlook looks a little bit better than we thought 3 or 4 months ago.
And given the investment we've made in really leading-edge subsalt for multiclient surveys using a lot of our full ph technology, that will be very positive for us.
What percentage over the last 12 months -- what percentage of multiclient is revenues being generated outside of the U.S.?
At WesternGeco, excellent fourth-quarter multiclient sales were due mostly to the enhanced quality of subsalt imaging products in the US Gulf of Mexico. ❋ Unknown (2011)
I think on the technology side, we are obviously using a significant amount of our technology in the multiclient, and that's how we can, for sure, deploy it.
In North America, a prolonged Canadian spring break-up and cool weather in the northwest were offset by very strong growth in the rest of U.S. land and a significant contribution from deepwater operations as rig count increased, and renewed exploration activity in the Gulf of Mexico led to better multiclient seismic data sales.
In Australia, WesternGeco has commenced a 3D multiclient seismic survey offshore Exmouth. ❋ Unknown (2011)
The fourth quarter also marked the expansion of the North American land multiclient library to include final processing products from the Columbia River Basin 2D point-receiver feasibility study that successfully imaged beneath 12,000 ft of basalt. ❋ Unknown (2011)
The multiclient in the Gulf was better than what we'd normally expect in the second quarter of the year.
