    In January, Vår Energi and its partners announced a gas discovery in the Elgol prospect within the Barents Sea. The well was drilled by the Cosl Prospector rig.

    The GeoStreamer survey will cover an area of up to 1,600 sq km over discoveries made in recent years by Goliat operator Vår Energi, such as Countach, Elgol and Lupa. It will also expand TGS’ data coverage in this part of the Hammerfest basin.

    Shooting for the Hammerfest basin 3D project is set to start in early August.

    TGS’ multi-client survey investments totaled more than $100 million during fourth-quarter 2024, the company said in a results update.

    Its largest ongoing multi-client projects were Pama offshore Brazil, Malvinas Phase 3 offshore Argentina, an unnamed project offshore Angola and a joint venture ocean-bottom node (OBN) project in the US Gulf of Mexico.

    The company deployed two large OBN crews in the region and another offshore West Africa.

    TGS’ New Energy Solutions business completed a one-month offshore wind site characterization acquisition project during the period and is currently operating one LiDAR buoy offshore Germany and another offshore California.

    For 2025, TGS anticipates multi-client survey investment of about $425 million to $475 million, of which 70% should be acquired using the company’s own assets.
