About us

Allton is a Geophysical Technology and Service company that specialises in subsurface seismic data acquisition and imaging for Oil and Gas Exploration and 4D Production Monitoring.

We place a high priority on R&D in order to provide our clients with the most advanced world class subsurface acquisition technologies and services. Our R&D Team has developed new critical technologies to meet future energy demands and address climate mitigation challenges. Our cutting-edge innovations include new service offerings for cost-effective and flexible Seismic OBN Acquisition Solutions.

Nautilus Drop & Pop Vehicle

for the deployment and recovery of Seismic OBN without the use of ROV
(can be utilised with other tools to measure temperature, pH, salinity) .

The Allton Story

In 2005, PetroMarker was founded in Stavanger with the establishment of an office and workshop to develop CSEM technologies for the acquisition of marine EM data and provision of G&G services to the oil and gas industry. The Company now has offices in Oslo and Rio de Janiero, as well as having representation in Kuala Lumpur, New Delhi and Al Khobar.

With the rebranding of Petromarker to Allton in 2021 came a change in R&D strategy and direction. Allton developed the most technologically advanced drop and pop seismic OBN delivery and recovery vehicle, and multiphysics acquisition equipment (CSEM + seismic OBN) to match our proprietary EM software suite and inversion codes. 

Allton has restructured to focus on cost-effective and flexible seismic node operations (Nautilus Seismic OBN System). With our long history utilising node recovery for CSEM, our technological solutions with the ground-breaking Nautilus System mean that we are well-positioned to deliver operational efficiencies and benefits to oil and gas companies for exploration and 4D production monitoring.

We provide our clients with the most technologically advanced seismic node deployment and recovery vehicle for sparse node seismic acquisition for FWI imaging in exploration and the 4D monitoring of smaller satellite fields. 

We continue to place a heavy emphasis on the value of in-house R&D and customer experience, so we can offer the best proprietary products and services to our clients.

Allton Timeline

Our Goals

Our goals are to provide insights to our clients for better decision making, improved success rates, and cost savings in a sustainable manner while striving to have a positive impact on the environment and addressing the world’s energy needs and climate concerns. 

environment and Sustainability

We shall cause zero harm to people and strive to have a positive impact on the environment by:

Providing technology and services that will optimise our client’s exploration and production drilling performance while also contributing to a reduction in offshore CO2 emissions.

Increased recovery, reduced costs, and lower emissions.

Data for both production well placement and reservoir monitoring feeds into the reservoir model for more correct well placement, assessing changes in the reservoir, and to contribute to the understanding and implementation of IOR/EOR plans yielding less CO2 emissions offshore.

We provide the most advanced seismic OBN delivery and recovery technology for exploration, monitoring of production assets, and carbon capture and sequestration projects.

Many experts agree that carbon capture and storage is an imperative and necessary component to reach climate goals.

Ensuring that all our operations are assessed with regards to risk to humans and impact on the environment is the foundation of Allton’s operational structure.

We utilise a unified platform for our safety and compliance operations.

We operate in accordance with the ISO 90001, 14001 & 45001 standards.    

OUR VALUES

We are guided by our values of respect, honesty, integrity and accountability.

Embedded in our principles are the health and safety of our employees, clients, contractors and partners.
