TGS and GTI team up on global offshore seismic projects

Oslo-listed seismic specialist TGS and seismic recording technology and services provider Geophysical Technology Inc. (GTI) have entered into a strategic collaboration agreement to jointly pursue seismic acquisition projects spanning shallow water, transition zone, and deepwater environments.

Under the agreement, the companies will evaluate and pursue projects on a case-by-case basis, combining their complementary assets, technology, and operations expertise to deliver integrated seismic acquisition solutions across diverse offshore environments.

TGS brings deepwater acquisition capabilities, including its deepwater vessels and OBN assets, supply chain network, project management expertise, and financial strength.

GTI contributes its proprietary NuSeis nodal recording technology and manufacturing base, specialised vessels and recording assets, and experience in land, transition-zone, and shallow-water operations, with an established regional presence in key markets across the Americas, Middle East, and Africa.

The four-year agreement establishes a framework for collaboration on future seismic acquisition projects worldwide.

“This collaboration allows us to offer clients a truly integrated seismic solution, from the shoreline to the deepwater, without compromising on quality or efficiency,” said Carel Hooijkaas, EVP for marine data acquisition at TGS.
