Oslo-listed seismic data specialist TGS has been awarded an ocean bottom node contract in Europe, extending the acquisition campaign further for the 2026 season.
The company’s node-on-a-rope crew is scheduled to begin acquisition in early April, and the contract is expected to last approximately 45 days.
“Our node-on-a-rope crew ensures efficient acquisition of high-quality data over a well-established producing field for a repeat customer. The data is used to optimise resource extraction, and the contract contributes to our ongoing efforts to lead the way in acquiring and delivering high-quality data,” said Kristian Johansen, CEO of TGS.
This new deal follows two contracts, one for the acquisition of a 4D streamer in the North Sea offshore Norway and one to expand multi-client data activities in Libya, won in the past week.
A Ramform vessel will mobilise for the Norway survey in the second quarter of 2026, with the contract expected to run for approximately 65 days. The other deal was a letter of intent with North Africa Geophysical Company, a subsidiary of the Libyan National Oil Corporation, for advancing high-quality subsurface data.
