ViaLogy said it was using previously exploited vintage 3D seismic to extract more information than previously possible with the objective of doubling the aerial and vertical resolution of standard techniques.
Chief Executive Robert Dean said: "We're pleased by Chevron's decision to expand the contract area, and we look forward to working with them on ever-increasing areas of this most important field".
"We believe our QuantumRD offers a competitive advantage in bringing new efficiencies to placing horizontal wells, and, hopefully, to lowering the overall cost of production," he said.
Vialogy's shares were up 12.5% by 1400.
