TGS & Ocean Winds Launch First Proprietary Offshore Wind and Metocean Campaign in Australia

Written by TGS | 21 December 2025

Oslo, Norway (18 December 2025) – TGS, a global provider of energy data and intelligence, has deployed its first proprietary offshore wind and metocean measurement project in Australia, commissioned by High Sea Wind (an Ocean Winds project). The one-year deployment will be located in the Gippsland region of Victoria, one of the country’s leading offshore wind development zones.

The campaign will record high-quality wind, wave, current and environmental parameters in water depths of about 60 meters. The resulting dataset will inform turbine selection, layout optimization, foundation design, environmental assessments and grid connection planning.

Data will be gathered using an EOLOS floating LiDAR buoy equipped with advanced, integrated ocean and environmental sensors. Measurements will be quality-controlled and delivered daily through Wind AXIOM, the TGS site evaluation and analytics platform.

Will Ashby, EVP Business Development at TGS, commented, "As our first deployment in Australia, this program delivers the wind and metocean insight Gippsland developers and stakeholders need to inform investment decisions, strengthen the local supply chain and build confidence in Australia’s offshore wind pipeline."

While recent campaigns in the United States, Germany and Norway have been multi-client, this initiative is dedicated exclusively to High Sea Wind, an Ocean Winds project, and underscores TGS’ ongoing commitment to offshore wind development worldwide.
