We deliver to scope and schedule, safely and without surprises. Whether you're exploring new acreage, characterizing a reservoir or conducting time-lapse monitoring, our systems are designed for high performance in all environments. You define the scope. We deliver with consistency and care.
Reservoir Monitoring
Achieve repeatable, efficient time-lapse surveys with TGS marine seismic source solutions and RTQC technology, fully integrated with our OBN systems. These capabilities support cost-effective 4D surveys and continuous reservoir monitoring, helping operators make faster, better-informed development decisions.
Acquisition Solutions for Renewables
TGS applies decades of seismic expertise to meet the demands of the evolving energy landscape. Building on our history in oil and gas, we now support offshore wind, carbon storage and deep-sea mineral projects with the same commitment to precision and reliability.
Our diverse technology portfolio and efficient delivery model allow us to tailor solutions to new sectors, supporting sustainable development with high-quality subsurface insights and dependable execution.
OBN and Ultra-High Resolution
Our adaptable designs allow for customized layouts that fit your field geometry. By combining ocean bottom node acquisition with ultra-high resolution (UHR) techniques, TGS enhances both subsurface clarity and acquisition safety.
These technologies support better well planning and help mitigate drilling risks, especially in complex or data-scarce environments.
