OSLO, Norway (30 March 2026) – TGS, a leading provider of energy data and intelligence, today announced a multi-year strategic agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS). TGS has selected AWS as its preferred cloud provider, leveraging AWS high-performance computing (HPC) and Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) to build solutions that will transform how the energy industry explores and extracts resources. This collaboration is designed to create a foundational shift in geoscience, dramatically accelerating time-to-insight and reducing exploration uncertainty for TGS' customers.
TGS is accelerating its AI/ML-driven seismic imaging and analytics by building solutions on AWS to surpass current industry performance. This transformation includes the modernization of TGS Imaging AnyWare on AWS and leveraging cloud elasticity to further optimize processing workflows. TGS uses Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) to execute highly parallelized workloads, scaling quickly to millions of CPUs to achieve rapid turnaround times on complex customer deliverables. By leveraging the latest NVIDIA instances and selectively adopting specialized AWS hardware accelerators, TGS enables high-definition seismic imaging, including compute-intensive Elastic Full Waveform Inversion (eFWI), and delivers petabyte-scale multi-client data to customers on demand. These mission-critical solutions are built on a secure, elastic, and resilient multi-region architecture, leveraging the AWS Nitro System to isolate and protect sensitive customer workloads.
"This partnership represents the moment when the power of Generative AI meets the complexity of geoscience," said Kristian Johansen, CEO of TGS. "By moving TGS Data Verse, the largest subsurface seismic library, and the TGS Imaging AnyWare platform to AWS, we are co-innovating to deliver an exploration-ready atlas of the subsurface. This collaboration translates subsurface data into strategic intelligence with unprecedented scale and speed, marking a fundamental shift that will accelerate prospect generation and create competitive advantages for our customers."
TGS is deploying a multi-modal Subsurface Foundation Model (SFM) built on Amazon Bedrock and powered by Amazon SageMaker HyperPods. This model will simultaneously process diverse data types, to achieve a comprehensive subsurface understanding that has been previously unattainable.
"TGS' selection of AWS as their preferred cloud provider demonstrates how industry leaders are leveraging cloud computing and generative AI to transform energy exploration," said Uwem Ukpong, vice president, AWS Industries. "By combining AWS advanced computing and AI capabilities with TGS' domain expertise and extensive energy data library, energy companies can unlock greater value from seismic data. Additionally, through Open Subsurface Data Universe (OSDU) Energy Data Integration with TGS, companies across the energy sector can seamlessly integrate data, optimize exploration workflows, reduce risk, and make more confident decisions through intelligent analysis of complex subsurface data."
This new agreement deepens TGS’ strong relationship with AWS. TGS has already migrated petabytes of data to the AWS cloud, demonstrating the scale and commitment of this strategic relationship. Leveraging AWS global infrastructure, TGS has successfully delivered advanced projects including eFWI in Brazil using in-country GPU capability, ensuring data sovereignty and low-latency processing for regional operations.
