Volcanic Basin Energy Research AS (VBER) is a research and consulting company based in Oslo, Norway. We have since the start in 1999 specialized in multi-client projects in collaboration with leading service companies and academic institutions.

VBER led the development of the P-Cable high-resolution 3D seismic technology since 2001, and co-founded the P-Cable 3D Seismic AS (P3S) company in 2008. P3S was sold to the Houston-based company NCS Subsea in July 2016. VBER is the co-owner of an extensive multi-client P-Cable data base in the Barents and Norwegian seas, and will continue working with P-Cable data to develope multi-client surveys world-wide.

VBER also work on integrated geological and geophysical interpretation projects and seafloor sampling studies in volcanic basins and margins around the world. Project results are presented in multi-client reports that are offered to the oil and gas industry for identifying petroleum prospects and reducing exploration risks. See Products for more information.

VBER's main target areas are along the margins of the north Atlantic and Arctic oceans, in particular the Møre and Vøring basins, Barents Sea, East Greenland, Jan Mayen Ridge, and West Greenland. Our work also encompasses volcanic basins world-wide, e.g. South Africa, India, Australia, Siberia, Argentina and Brazil.
