- SeaBird Exploration Plc, a wholly owned subsidiary of SED Energy Holdings Plc, provides marine seismic acquisition services to the oil and gas industry, including 2D seismic surveys, source vessel services such as conventional undershoot, 4D repeat surveys, wide azimuth, push reverse, long-term charters and vessel management; it also offers ocean bottom seismic, shallow water 3D studies, ocean bottom node source work and a multi-client data library covering regions including Australia, the Hebrides, Norway and the Philippines. The company operates a specialized fleet of seismic vessels, including the Eagle Explorer, to support offshore exploration and development projects in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, North and South America, and the Asia Pacific. Founded in 1996 and headquartered in Nicosia, Cyprus, SeaBird Exploration focuses on high-quality data acquisition with state-of-the-art equipment for contract seismic surveys and niche applications. In 2025, SeaBird's parent underwent a transformative reverse merger with Energy Drilling Pte Ltd, completed in May, resulting in a name change to SED Energy Holdings Plc and a ticker change to ENH on the Oslo Stock Exchange, establishing a diversified offshore oil and gas services platform with enhanced scale, revenue backlog exceeding USD 490 million and emphasis on shareholder distributions. Recent operational highlights include a contract extension for the Eagle Explorer through June 2025 and a new three-to-four month ocean bottom node source contract commencing mid-November 2025 in the Western Hemisphere.
