Gemini X | TGS Acquisition

More sources. Sharper imaging. Greater efficiency.

Gemini X combines TGS' industry-leading Gemini source technology with Apparition, TGS' proprietary encoded acquisition and source separation capability. Built to support coordinated multi-source operations, Gemini X increases acquisition productivity while maintaining the signal quality modern imaging workflows demand. The result: better data, greater operational flexibility, and a scalable acquisition solution built for increasingly ambitious exploration objectives.

Designed around the needs of today's imaging and inversion workflows, Gemini X helps operators move from acquisition to subsurface understanding with greater confidence and efficiency.

Expanding What’s Possible
with Gemini X

Gemini X enables operators to pursue acquisition strategies centered on imaging objectives rather than traditional operational limitations. Combining extended low-frequency performance with structured multi-source encoding and precision signal recovery, Gemini X delivers the data quality advanced imaging needs while increasing operational productivity.

The result is access to richer datasets, improved subsurface illumination, and acquisition programs capable of supporting the most demanding exploration and development challenges, including basins where OBN has historically been cost-prohibitive.

Technical Benefits

Cut Through the Noise

The technical benefits of Gemini EFS are rooted in its ability to deliver stronger, more consistent low-frequency energy
while maintaining the broadband performance required for modern seismic workflows.

Encoded Multi-Source Acquisition

Increase acquisition productivity through coordinated source operations and advanced source encoding.

Precision Signal Recovery, Imaging-Ready Data Quality

Apparition cleanly isolates overlapping signals and preserves the signal quality required by advanced imaging and inversion programs even in complex acquisition geometries.

Gemini Low-Frequency Performance

Leverage proven extended low-frequency energy for improved velocity model building and FWI workflows.

Multi-Component & OBN Integration

Optional sparse OBN integration enables full wavefield recording, unlocking richer subsurface characterization unavailable from streamer-only surveys.

Consistent 4D Monitoring

Gemini’s stable point-source signature delivers the repeatable, consistent wavefield that time-lapse analysis depends on. Gemini X reduces survey-to-survey variability, revealing reservoir change rather than acquisition artifacts.

Adaptive Survey Design

Adapt acquisition configurations to match project objectives, basin conditions, and imaging requirements, without sacrificing spatial sampling or subsurface illumination.

Proven, Integrated Foundation

Combines proven Gemini source performance with advanced encoded acquisition technology, built to integrate with your existing acquisition, imaging, and HPC workflow.

Commercial Benefits

Designed for Complexity. Delivered at Scale.

Not only does Gemini bring greater clarity to the subsurface with a stronger low-frequency signal, cleaner imaging, and greater confidence in complex geology, but this flexible, trusted marine seismic acquisition also carries benefits across your operations.

Sharper Insights

Acquire richer datasets for improved subsurface understanding.

Faster Decisions

Accelerate the path from acquisition to interpretation.

Greater Efficiency

Significantly more efficient than conventional acquisition through coordinated multi-source operations.

Scalable Solutions

Adapt acquisition strategies to a broad range of exploration and development objectives, across basins and geologies.

Safer Operations

A single-element source design simplifies operations on deck compared to traditional arrays — a meaningful HSE benefit alongside the imaging gains.

Future-Ready Exploration

Support increasingly advanced imaging and inversion workflows as they evolve.

How it Works

Gemini X combines Gemini's extended-frequency source technology with advanced encoded acquisition and precision signal recovery. Multiple sources operate in a structured, encoded firing sequence. During processing, source signals are accurately separated and recovered, preserving the data quality required for advanced imaging workflows.

The combination of enhanced-frequency source energy, scalable multi-source acquisition, and precision signal recovery enables more productive survey execution while delivering datasets optimized for modern imaging, inversion, and earth-model-building workflows.

Gemini X is built on a commercially deployed, client-validated foundation, extended with proprietary Apparition technology and backed by decades of TGS geoscience, high-performance computing, and delivery expertise. It's TGS technology, run by TGS people, from acquisition through to the final earth model.

Built on TGS' Integrated Solutions Capabilities

TGS is the only company in the seismic industry to offer acquisition project design, marine data acquisition, multi-client subsurface data and seismic imaging as a single, fully integrated solution. Gemini is the technological foundation that makes that integration worth more than the sum of its parts, and Gemini X extends that foundation.

Gemini X isn't a standalone acquisition upgrade. It's designed to work with the rest of the imaging stack (OBN, GeoStreamer, E-DMFWI, 4D and AI/ML-accelerated workflows), so gains at the point of acquisition compound all the way through to the earth model and the decisions built on it.
