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.
