en.Wedoany.com Reported - TGS, a provider of energy data and intelligence, today announced the acquisition of Apparition Geoservices and the exclusive rights to its proprietary synchronized source acquisition and separation technology.
TGS combines Apparition technology with its own Gemini Enhanced Frequency Source (EFS) technology to build a platform that enables step-change improvements in seismic operational efficiency, source capacity, and subsurface imaging clarity.
Apparition is an advanced seismic acquisition and processing method that allows multiple acoustic sources to operate simultaneously in a controlled, coordinated manner. Unlike traditional dithering methods, this technology uniquely encodes sources through precise timing, making overlapping signals easier to separate and process more cleanly, thereby improving acquisition efficiency and source capacity while maintaining data quality.
Over the past two years, TGS has tested Apparition in various acquisition configurations and marine environments, working closely with the Apparition team and key clients to validate real-world performance. The tests employed a Hexa Source configuration, which provided unprecedented source efficiency and signal-to-noise ratio improvements. Results showed operational efficiency improvements of up to 30%, along with cleaner signal recovery, improved low-frequency performance, and better visibility of deeper, more complex subsurface targets.
By integrating Apparition into its own acquisition and imaging workflows, TGS can deliver scalable multi-source, multi-component seismic solutions in ocean bottom node (OBN), towed streamer, and ultra-high-resolution 3D (UHR3D) surveys. For clients, this integration helps improve exploration economics, shorten project timelines, and enhance confidence in exploration and development decisions.
As exploration activities become increasingly complex, the fusion of Apparition and Gemini brings together advanced acquisition technology, imaging expertise, and global operational scale, aimed at accelerating client decision-making and maximizing the value of seismic projects.
