The table below shows TGS’ allocation of active seismic streamer 3D vessel capacity2. In Q4 2025 Ramform Victory was used as a source vessel in West Africa and is still included in the vessel statistics.
| Q4 2025 | Q4 2024 | |
| Contract | 31% | 35% |
| Multi-client | 48% | 31% |
| Steaming | 15% | 6% |
| Yard | 5% | 6% |
| Stacked/Standby | 1% | 22% |
| Number of vessels | 6 | 6 |
2) The statistics include active seismic 3D streamer vessels (capacity working on New Energy Solutions projects are excluded).
Based on preliminary financial review TGS expects multi-client investment to be close to USD 120 million in Q4 2025, compared to USD 100.4 million in Q4 2024.
Kristian Johansen, CEO of TGS commented: “Our seismic vessel utilization reached 79% in Q4, up from 73% in the previous quarter. I am pleased that we have established an attractive portfolio of multi-client projects offshore Brazil focusing on the equatorial margin and the Pelotas basin, with strong client support. Early in Q4 we deployed our third Ramform Titan-class vessel for multi-client work offshore Brazil, and we expect to maintain half of our streamer fleet in the region well into 2026. We enter 2026 with strong market position, a leaner cost base, and a robust balance sheet, having reduced net interest-bearing debt to approximately USD 430 million.”
TGS will release its Q4 2025 results at 07:00 a.m. CET on 12 February 2026. CEO Kristian Johansen and CFO Sven Børre Larsen will present the results at 09:00 a.m. CET, webcasted live.
