The table below shows TGS’ allocation of active seismic streamer 3D vessel capacity2:
Q3 2025 | Q3 2024 | |
Contract | 45% | 20% |
Multi-client | 28% | 57% |
Steaming | 10% | 6% |

Stacked/Standby | 9% | 15% |
Number of vessels | 6 | 6 |
2) The statistics include only 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 approximately USD 86 million in Q3 2025, compared to USD 129.4 million in Q3 2024.
Kristian Johansen, CEO of TGS commented: “Asset utilization in Q3 exceeded expectations, with a normalized OBN crew count of 2.8 and streamer vessel utilization at 73%, compared to our previous indications of approximately 2.5 and 65%, respectively. The stronger performance was mainly driven by optimized vessel scheduling as well as securing more streamer and OBN work than expected.”
