TGS Secures 4D Seismic Project in the Barents Sea

Norwegian seismic firm TGS has announced the securing of a 4D streamer acquisition project in the Barents Sea, specifically covering the Goliat field operated by Vår Energi.

The Goliat 4D project is set to commence in July with an estimated duration of approximately 20 days, as confirmed by TGS.

CEO of TGS, Kristian Johansen, expressed his satisfaction with the new project, stating, “We are very pleased to secure more 4D work on the Norwegian continental shelf for the 2025 summer season. We already have secured one contract in the Barents Sea with a duration of approximately 45 days, and this award is scheduled to be acquired back-to-back. Adding on the recently announced multi-client project, we have built a solid Barents Sea acquisition campaign.”

Earlier this year in February, TGS signed a contract for multi-client 3D streamer acquisition, which includes coverage of recent discoveries such as Countach, Elgol, and Lupa, while also expanding on TGS’ existing data coverage in the Goliat area of the Hammerfest Basin.

With these developments, TGS continues to strengthen its presence and capabilities in the Barents Sea region, further solidifying its position as a leading provider of seismic data solutions in the offshore industry.
