TGS and Chevron sign seismic capacity agreement in Norway

HOUSTON, November 5, 2025 – TGS and Chevron have signed a three-year capacity agreement for marine streamer and ocean bottom node (OBN) acquisition services, the Norwegian company said on Wednesday.

The agreement includes a minimum firm commitment of 18 months of combined streamer and OBN services and incorporates the previously announced St Malo 4D OBN reservoir monitoring contract in the Gulf of Mexico.

The companies aim to collaborate on seismic acquisition for global exploration and development, and to co-operate on technology development in survey design, acquisition, data collection and integration.

“This agreement not only provides crucial utilisation and visibility for both parties but also creates an opportunity for collaboration across our wider service portfolio,” TGS CEO Kristian Johansen said.

Headquartered in Oslo, Norway, TGS provides advanced data and intelligence to energy companies worldwide, supporting exploration and production with geophysical surveys, data analytics and integrated solutions. The company has a significant presence in global offshore markets, offering extensive seismic libraries and proprietary acquisition technology.

Chevron is one of the world’s largest integrated energy companies. In the Gulf of Mexico, where the St Malo project is located, Chevron is engaged in significant deepwater exploration and production, with a strong focus on technological innovation and reservoir management.
