OSLO, Norway (10 February 2026) – TGS, a global provider ofenergy data and intelligence, in strategic collaboration with SLB, todayannounced the launch of Engagement 9, the latest phase of the companies’ OceanBottom Node (OBN) multi-client campaign in the Gulf of America.
Commencing earlier this month, Engagement 9 covers 161 OCSblocks in the Walker Ridge protraction area, one of the Gulf of America’s mostprolific deepwater provinces. This new dataset is expected to deliver step changeimprovements in subsurface illumination across a region known for itsstructural complexity and deep hydrocarbon potential. Implementation of a low frequencysource enables richer low frequency content that significantly enhances FWI andlong wavelength velocity model building.
The project’s areal coverage includes several of thebasin’s most significant producing assets, including Stones, Jack, St. Malo,and Cascade, providing operators with a modern, high quality imaging upliftacross established production corridors. In addition to supporting fielddevelopment and optimization efforts, Engagement 9 is positioned to unlockinfrastructure-led exploration opportunities, offering clients greatersubsurface confidence adjacent to existing infrastructure in a region with astrong commercial track record.
Acquisition is projected to conclude in July 2026, withfinal data products anticipated for release in H2 2027.
Kristian Johansen, CEO at TGS, commented, “TGS is proudto expand our OBN data portfolio in the Gulf of America through continuedcollaboration with SLB. Engagement 9 reflects our shared commitment totechnological innovation and to delivering the highest value subsurface insightto our customers. With the application a low frequency source and the strategiccoverage of key producing hubs, this project provides a unique opportunity todrive improved imaging and future exploration success in one of the world’smost productive deepwater environments.”
