About Idrop
iDROP develops the Oceanid, an autonomous drop-node for ocean bottom seismic (OBN) surveys. The node is designed to self-steer to a predefined point on the seabed, and the company states that deployment and recovery are each 50% faster than with ROVs. The company also positions the product for sensor data acquisition on the seafloor or in the water column.
The company sells the Oceanid hardware for seismic and ocean sensor operations used in reservoir imaging. The website lists deployment and recovery as services and names technology development partners that supplied system components.
iDROP was founded in 2016 and is headquartered in Gamle Fredrikstad, Norway, at the former Hydrogen Factory in Fredrikstad Innovation Park. The company also lists a San Francisco location, where it has open roles for a deep learning engineer, an artificial intelligence researcher, a data scientist and an electrical engineer.
