Norway (29 August 2024) - TGS is adapting to a changing energy market and the
company now has a fully integrated offering across the energy data value chain.

and frontier basins worldwide. Leading data acquisition capabilities with eight
fully equipped high-quality GeoStreamer vessels. Advanced OBN technology with
leading operational track record. Scalable imaging capabilities for streamer and
nodes with on-prem and in the cloud compute capacity. A strong position in the
offshore wind site characterization market and well positioned for extensive
growth in the carbon storage and solar markets.

In the Capital Markets Day presentation, TGS announces:

* The Company's strategic priorities of Value, Resilience and Knowledge.

* To create more Value TGS intends to enhance the company's leading
position in key basins, capitalize on the integrated structure to build
strategic relationships with clients and governments, and become the
clients' preferred Imaging partner.
* TGS is building Resilience by strengthening diversification into new
energy markets, sets new standards for HSE and maintains a strong
balance sheet, cost efficiency and scalability.
* TGS is accelerating Knowledge by technology development across the value
chain, extracting incremental information from AI applications, and
being the preferred employer in the energy data industry.

* Integration synergies are increased from original target of USD 90-110
million to USD 110-130 million.
* Capital allocation priorities include disciplined organic investments,
maintaining a strong balance sheet and aiming at net interest-bearing debt
in the range of USD 250-350 million. TGS has an ambition of growing
distribution to shareholders by maintaining a healthy dividend and plans for
additional distribution through share buybacks while keeping net debt within
the indicated range.

reporting. Multi-client, Contract, Imaging and New Energy Solutions (NES)
will be the segments reported on.
