Norwegian energy data and intelligence firm TGS has won a major seismic contract offshore Angola, securing work described by the company as “large and high-end” that will occupy its vessel well into the first quarter of 2027.
The contract involves the acquisition of a 4D streamer survey — a technology used to monitor changes in a reservoir over time and help operators optimise production from existing fields. Acquisition work is expected to begin in early July 2026 and will run for approximately eight months.
TGS Chief Executive Officer Kristian Johansen said the award reaffirms the company’s position at the forefront of high-specification offshore data acquisition. “The award further underscores our ongoing commitment to providing the highest quality data solutions to clients. Leveraging the advanced Ramform acquisition platform, coupled with the proprietary multi-sensor GeoStreamer technology, TGS is well-equipped to deliver results that align with the evolving needs of the energy sector,” he said.
The Angola contract follows closely on the heels of three new awards TGS secured in the Norwegian North Sea, reflecting strong and sustained demand for advanced seismic services across multiple basins. The Ramform platform — known for its wide-tow capability and high data quality — is widely regarded as the industry benchmark for large-scale marine seismic acquisition.
