Partnerships

Icon

Vessel Charter Partners

TGS uses an asset-light model, contracting third-party seismic vessel owners for offshore surveys to scale capacity without owning ships; this cut capital expenditure by ~60% vs. owning fleets and supported revenue margin stability (EBITDA margin ~28% in 2024). By 2025 partnerships now include specialized vessels for offshore wind site characterization, adding ~15% new-service revenue potential.

Icon

Government and National Authorities

Strategic alliances with energy ministries secure permits and licenses for TGS to survey international waters, supporting access to frontier basins where TGS held 2025 multi-client commitments worth about $220m and saw 12% revenue from frontier projects in 2024. TGS also partners to manage national data repositories and attract investment into local energy sectors, preserving long-term access to emerging hubs and reducing permit delays by an estimated 30%.

Cloud Infrastructure Providers

Partnering with AWS and Microsoft Azure lets TGS host and process petabyte-scale seismic datasets using HPC and GPU clusters (e.g., >100 PFLOPS availability) and cloud storage (multi-PB tiers), cutting time-to-insight by up to 60%. These partnerships enable global, low-latency delivery via CDN and dedicated interconnects (10–100 Gbps), ensuring reliable, fast data access for clients worldwide.

Icon

Energy Transition Developers

By late 2025, TGS’s partnerships with offshore wind and carbon capture developers are core to its model; TGS sold 120+ data packages for offshore wind site selection and supported 6 CCS FEEDs, generating ~USD 45m revenue YTD and cutting hydrocarbon exposure to 62% of total bookings from 78% in 2022.

  • 120+ offshore wind datasets sold
  • 6 CCS FEEDs supported
  • ~USD 45m revenue YTD from energy transition
  • Hydrocarbon booking share down to 62%
Icon

Joint Venture Survey Partners

TGS forms joint-venture survey partnerships with other geophysical firms to split cost and risk on large multi-client projects, enabling acquisition of datasets 30–60% larger than solo surveys; in 2024 JV projects accounted for roughly 40% of TGS capitalized survey spend (~$150M of $375M total).

Pooling equipment, vessels, and processing capacity lets partners deliver wider subsurface coverage and sell richer data packages to global oil & gas and CCS buyers, increasing revenue per project by an estimated 15–25%.

  • JV share: ~40% of survey capex in 2024
  • Typical dataset scale: +30–60% vs solo
  • Revenue uplift per JV: ~15–25%

    High-margin library, robust pre-funding and growing energy-transition services fuel TGS cashflow

    Multi-client pre-funding (~40% of capex; $120–150M annually in 2024) plus high-margin library licensing (library revenue ~$120M; gross margin >80% in 2024), processing services (margins ~45–60%) and growing energy-transition services (18–22% of group revenue by 2025; service revenue $90–110M) and subscriptions (ARR ~$85M in 2024) drive TGS cashflow and margins.
