Norwegian energy data provider TGS said on Monday it has been awarded a contract to conduct a large marine seismic survey offshore Indonesia, covering an area of approximately 10,000 square kilometers.
The project will involve 3D seismic data acquisition for exploration, with a final one-month phase dedicated to 4D seismic data for production monitoring, the company said in a statement. The survey is scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2025 and will last around eight months.
The survey will be carried out using a Ramform-designed vessel equipped with TGS’s proprietary GeoStreamer technology.

“This contract secures utilization well into Q3 2026,” Chief Executive Kristian Johansen said.
Indonesia has been working to attract greater investment in its upstream oil and gas sector to boost domestic production. The data from the survey is expected to support exploration and development planning in the region.
TGS did not disclose the name of the client or financial terms of the contract.
