A Ramform Titan-class vessel is scheduled to mobilize in the fourth quarter of 2026, and the survey is expected to run approximately 110 days.

TGS deploys Ramform Titan-class vessel for the Mediterranean survey

The award covers a single survey with a duration of about 110 days. The source does not disclose the client, the contract value or the survey area within the Mediterranean.

Contract lengthens TGS streamer backlog into early 2027

CEO Kristian Johansen said the award extends the company's streamer acquisition backlog well into the first quarter of 2027. He described it as a reflection of continued demand for high-quality seismic data supporting offshore exploration activity.

Oslo – October 12, 2026 -- TGS has been awarded data brokerage, marketing and licensing rights by the Petroleum Authority of Brunei Darussalam (PA) for subsurface data over an offshore Brunei block.

Award covers 3D seismic, well data and technical reports for one offshore block

The package includes 3D seismic data, well information and associated technical reports across the block. E&P companies can use the material to evaluate the acreage and reduce subsurface uncertainty before they take part in the block licensing process.

Brunei's PA targets international upstream investment

The project supports the Petroleum Authority's broader objective of attracting international investment into Brunei Darussalam's upstream sector. TGS says the award complements its existing multi-client footprint across the Asia Pacific region.

Oslo – October 12, 2026 -- TGS has secured a one-month extension to the largest seismic streamer acquisition contract offshore Indonesia, with the extension scheduled to start in August.

Extension keeps Ramform Sovereign working under the Indonesian contract

The extension covers the Ramform Sovereign vessel, which acquires data using TGS's GeoStreamer technology. TGS did not disclose the contract value, the client's identity, the survey area or the vessel's remaining backlog.

TGS CEO says extension improves revenue visibility

CEO Kristian Johansen said the extension reflects the client's continued confidence in the Ramform Sovereign and GeoStreamer. He added that the project strengthens revenue visibility while TGS delivers high-quality seismic data with industry-leading acquisition efficiency.

The extension is short, at one month. Its financial impact is therefore likely to be limited, and TGS has not published figures.
