- On Demand Ocean Bottom Nodes (OD OBNs) – In Brazil, Sonardyne has been collaborating with major oil and gas producers since 2018 to develop OD OBNs, a new technology designed to collect 4D seismic data in offshore reservoirs using autonomous systems and subsea communications. This approach enables operators to conduct more frequent, on-demand seismic surveys with higher-fidelity data and at a fraction of the cost of conventional seismic survey methods. The qualification of OD OBNs for commercial use began with the deployment in early 2026 at the Petrobras operated Mero field offshore Brazil. The technology is expected to move into full commercial production in 2027. These OD OBNs, which incorporate Sonardyne’s wireless optical and acoustic communications technology, transmit seismic information to ROVs or AUVs for data collection. Full-scale deployment in an offshore field is estimated to require hundreds or even thousands of OD OBNs.

- Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) – During the summer of 2026, the Company will begin environmental baseline monitoring for the Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP) at the U.K.’s first offshore CCS site. Using autonomous seabed monitoring landers placed above and around the Endurance storage site, the system will ultimately help verify that captured CO₂ remains safely contained underground. The landers combine Sonardyne’s Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) technology, alongside environmental sensing technologies and passive seismic monitoring to track conditions around the storage site. Sonardyne’s proprietary underwater communication, data processing and power management technologies enable data to be collected and processed remotely, so that it can be delivered to NEP on demand, providing timely insights.

Article content
This news release contains statements that constitute “forward-looking information” as defined under applicable Canadian securities laws (collectively, “forward-looking statements”). When used in this news release, the words “may”, “would”, “could”, “will”, “intend”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “seek”, “propose”, “estimate”, “expect”, and similar expressions, as they relate to the Company, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. In particular, this news release contains forward-looking statements with respect to, among other things: the continued integration and use of the Company’s technologies and products across defence and commercial applications, ongoing demand for port and harbour security, increasing demand for the monitoring of critical underwater infrastructure, timing of various opportunities; expected benefits and strategic rationale of the Company’s expanded product portfolio; continued demand for the Company’s high-energy-density batteries; that it will meet its sales targets including its product portfolio representing over 75% of consolidated revenue in 2026; the timing regarding expected commercial production for OD OBNs; the timing for the start of environmental monitoring at the U.K.’s first offshore CCS site; business objectives; and expected areas of growth for the Company’s products and services. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements.
