TGS announces Engagement Phase 9 in the Gulf of America

10 Feb 2026 07:00 CET

OSLO, Norway (10 February 2026) - TGS, a global provider of energy data and
intelligence, in strategic collaboration with SLB, today announced the launch of
Engagement 9, the latest phase of the companies' Ocean Bottom Node (OBN) multi-
client campaign in the Gulf of America.

Commencing earlier this month, Engagement 9 covers 161 OCS blocks in the Walker
Ridge protraction area, one of the Gulf of America's most prolific deepwater
provinces. This new dataset is expected to deliver step change improvements in
subsurface illumination across a region known for its structural complexity and
deep hydrocarbon potential. Implementation of a low frequency source enables
richer low frequency content that significantly enhances FWI and long wavelength
velocity model building.

The project's areal coverage includes several of the basin's most significant
producing assets, including Stones, Jack, St. Malo, and Cascade, providing
operators with a modern, high quality imaging uplift across established
production corridors. In addition to supporting field development and
optimization efforts, Engagement 9 is positioned to unlock infrastructure-led
exploration opportunities, offering clients greater subsurface confidence
adjacent to existing infrastructure in a region with a strong commercial track
record.

Acquisition is projected to conclude in July 2026, with final data products
anticipated for release in H2 2027.

Kristian Johansen, CEO at TGS, commented, "TGS is proud to expand our OBN data
portfolio in the Gulf of America through continued collaboration with SLB.
Engagement 9 reflects our shared commitment to technological innovation and to
delivering the highest value subsurface insight to our customers. With the
application a low frequency source and the strategic coverage of key producing
hubs, this project provides a unique opportunity to drive improved imaging and
future exploration success in one of the world's most productive deepwater
environments."
