en.Wedoany.com Reported - TGS has secured a towed streamer acquisition contract in Africa and the Middle East. A 3D Ramform vessel is scheduled to begin data acquisition in early September 2026, with a contract duration of approximately 55 days.

Kristian Johansen, CEO of TGS, expressed his satisfaction with the contract, stating that it provides a favorable business outlook for the winter operating season. The Ramform acquisition platform, combined with proprietary GeoStreamer technology, will deliver high-quality data, enabling clients to make more accurate and informed decisions in their oil and gas exploration activities.

Previously, the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission, in collaboration with TGS and SeaSeis Geophysical Limited, announced the Laide multi-client 3D exploration project in Nigeria. This project focuses on the outer fold-and-thrust belt in the deepwater area of the eastern Niger Delta, which presents complex geological challenges such as imbricate toe-thrust structures, elongated anticlines (e.g., Bolia–Chota), inner fold-and-thrust belt geometries, and mud diapirs/mud volcanoes.

These challenges are addressed through the GeoStreamer dual-sensor system, long offsets, wide towed streamers, and a triple-source configuration. These setups generate modern broadband seismic data, supporting advanced elastic full-waveform inversion-driven velocity model building, full-preservation pre-stack time migration, and Q-compensated pre-stack depth migration (Q-PSDM). This enables operators and explorers to easily determine next steps based on insights precisely acquired from previously challenging and inaccessible areas.
