TGS, a leading provider of multi-client geoscience data for exploration & production (E&P) companies, has invested more than $1 billion in seismic data acquisition across Africa to stimulate investment in the continent’s upstream sector, Chief Executive Officer Kristian Johansen has revealed.
According to him, 70% of the company’s extensive seismic data library covers Africa, made possible through strong partnerships with local authorities.
Speaking at the recently concluded African Energy Week (AEW) in Cape Town, Johansen said TGS is helping Africa unlock its energy potential through cutting-edge imaging technologies powered by artificial intelligence, machine learning, and world-class computing systems.
He emphasized that TGS believes Africa’s energy future must be anchored in local capacity development, robust supply chains, inclusive job creation, and resilient communities.
Johansen observed that with its vast resources, Africa has a unique opportunity to forge a new path — blending oil, gas, renewables, and digitalization on African terms for African people.
“At TGS, we are deeply committed to partnering with you on this journey — exploring a continental marketplace for innovation, investment, and ambition. Let us make this the decade in which Africa’s energy sector not only meets its potential but leads the world, driving prosperity, resilience, and transformation,” he said.
