TGS, a leading provider of energy data and intelligence, has secured its first ocean bottom node (OBN) contract in Europe for the 2026 season. The contract, awarded by a repeat customer, underscores TGS’s reputation for delivering high-quality data and executing projects on time.
The OBN crew is set to mobilize in early May 2026, with the project expected to span approximately 60 days. This contract marks a significant milestone for TGS as it aims to build a robust acquisition campaign in the European market, where several OBN project tenders are currently planned for 2026.
Kristian Johansen, CEO of TGS, expressed enthusiasm about the contract, stating, “We are very pleased to secure our first OBN contract for the 2026 season in Europe. The European market currently has several tenders for OBN projects planned for 2026, and our goal is to build a robust acquisition campaign in the region.”
The award highlights TGS’s strong track record in project execution and its ability to provide critical insights that optimize production. The company’s OBN technology is recognized for its reliability and accuracy, making it a preferred choice for energy companies seeking to enhance their data intelligence.
As TGS prepares to mobilize its crew, the focus will be on delivering high-quality data that meets the needs of its clients. This contract not only reinforces TGS’s position as a leader in the energy data and intelligence sector but also sets the stage for further growth and expansion in the European market.
The OBN technology involves deploying nodes on the ocean floor to collect seismic data, which is crucial for exploring and optimizing hydrocarbon reservoirs. The data provided by TGS’s OBN solutions enable energy companies to make informed decisions, improve production efficiency, and reduce operational risks.
With this contract, TGS is poised to play a pivotal role in the European energy sector, contributing to the optimization of production and the exploration of new resources. The company’s commitment to innovation and excellence positions it as a key player in the evolving energy landscape.
