Sources: 4. Developments: 2. TGS has expanded its operational and strategic footprint through new technological partnerships and seismic survey projects. The company entered a strategic collaboration with Chevron to advance seismic imaging technology, focusing on research and development in machine learning-driven workflows and Elastic Full Waveform Inversion (eFWI). In terms of regional operations, TGS announced a streamer acquisition contract in the Mediterranean using a Ramform Titan-class vessel, scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026. Simultaneously, the company launched the fourth phase of its Sarawak multi-client program offshore Malaysia. This phase involves the Ramform Sovereign surveying approximately 1,020 square kilometers to support the acquisition of 3D seismic data in the Sarawak basins. This initiative, supported by industry funding, aims to help PETRONAS and other clients identify new exploration plays in deep-water areas. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-18: TGS launches Sarawak Phase 4 offshore seismic survey in Malaysia TGS is launching the Sarawak Phase 4 offshore seismic survey in Malaysia, covering 1,020 square kilometers to support hydrocarbon exploration and deep-water imaging for PETRONAS. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/tgs-launches-sarawak-phase-4-offshore-seismic-survey-in-malaysia ### 2026-08-18: TGS announces Chevron partnership and new seismic survey contracts TGS has partnered with Chevron to develop advanced seismic imaging technology and announced new offshore survey contracts in the Mediterranean and Sarawak, Malaysia. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/tgs-announces-chevron-partnership-and-new-seismic-survey-contracts --- Cite as: TGS seismic technology and offshore survey expansions.
