This is TGS

TGS was founded in Houston in 1981 and over time, built a dominant multi-client seismic data library in the Gulf of Mexico, further expanding into North America and West Africa

Also, in 1981, NOPEC was founded in Oslo and began building an industry-leading multi-client seismic database in the North Sea, with additional operations in Australia and the Far East.

In 1998, the companies merged to form TGS-NOPEC Geophysical Company (TGS), creating a winning combination for investors, customers and employees. Since then, TGS has set the standard for geoscientific data around the world and has evolved to provide additional data types and data-driven solutions for the energy market.

The hallmarks of success for TGS over the past 40 years have been dedicated to high-quality data, exemplary service and strategic global growth in emerging and mature markets.
