2) The statistics include only active seismic 3D vessels
(capacity working on New Energy Solutions projects are excluded).
The Ramform Victory was brought into operation in Q3 2023, and the
Ramform Vanguard was converted to a dual-purpose seismic and
offshore wind vessel in Q2 2024. The two cold-stacked vessels are
excluded from the statistics.
Based on a preliminary financial review TGS expects Q3 2024
multi-client investment to be approximately USD 132 million.

Kristian Johansen, CEO at TGS, commented: “I am very pleased
to see strong utilization of our OBN crews in Q3, where we had one
crew in West Africa, two crews in the Gulf of Mexico and one crew
in Europe. Demand for our OBN services continues to be strong and
we achieved a solid order inflow during the quarter. Our seismic
streamer vessel utilization in Q3 ended at 77%, a sequential
increase, but still below the approximately 85% level we consider
full utilization, when adjusting for steaming and yard time. Active
tenders for streamer contract work have increased significantly
over the summer. We expect that higher contract bidding activity in
combination with the synergy effects of a larger multi-client
project portfolio, will improve our streamer vessel utilization
going forward."
TGS will release its Q3 2024 results at 07:00 a.m. CEST on 24
October 2024. CEO Kristian Johansen and CFO Sven Børre Larsen will
present the results at 09:00 a.m. CEST during a live presentation
and webcast. The presentation will take place at House of Oslo,
Ruseløkkveien 34, 0251 Oslo and is open to the public.
