DUG and ACTeQ bring advanced 3D modelling to seismic survey design

DUG Technology Pty Ltd (DUG) and ACTeQ announced a strategic partnership at the 2026 SEG AAPG IMAGE conference. The collaboration integrates DUG Insight’s cloud-based modeling capabilities with ACTeQ’s TesserACT survey design platform. Through this integration, TesserACT provides access to DUG Insight’s advanced modeling capabilities, including synthetic generation and wave-equation-based solutions, enabling them to be incorporated directly into seismic survey design workflows. ACTeQ’s VP Sales and Marketing, Brandon Mattox, said: “This collaboration represents an important step forward for Tesseract users. With access to advanced 3D modelling capabilities users will benefit from improved workflows and enhanced operational efficiency.” The integration is designed to simplify access to advanced modeling within the survey design process, reducing the effort required to evaluate acquisition scenarios through cloud computing. DUG’s Senior VP of Software & HPC, Margarita Kongawoin, said: “Interoperability is at the heart of modern software ecosystems. This integration will enable TesserACT users to leverage the modelling and computing power of DUG Insight and the DUG HPC Cloud. We look forward to continuing our working relationship into the future.” The companies plan to add additional capabilities and will share updates as the integration progresses.
