TGS, a provider of data and intelligence for the energy industry, announced the completion of a groundbreaking series of marine ocean bottom node (OBN) surveys offshore Guyana. According to TGS, the final node recovery on December 1, 2023, marked the end of three exclusive OBN surveys for ExxonMobil Guyana.
TGS has successfully acquired 2,400 square kilometers of OBN data over 410 days, concluding the data acquisition process 20 days ahead of the planned schedule. It said this achievement sets a new record for the longest deepwater node survey, underscoring the effectiveness of TGS’ ZXPLR node technology.
TGS has been recognized for its performance during these operations, earning 12 catch of the week (COTW) awards from ExxonMobil Wells. These awards, according to TGS, reflect its commitment to health, safety, and environmental excellence across ExxonMobil Wells’ global operations, and are a testament to the skill and teamwork of TGS’s field crews. In addition, TGS emphasized its environmental responsibility by recovering 1.2 metric tons of marine debris, including a significant amount of discarded fishing gear and plastics, from Guyana’s marine ecosystem.

TGS credited the success of this campaign to its ONE TEAM approach and culture.
Carel Hooijkaas, Executive Vice President of Acquisition at TGS, “In the history of our Company, we have delivered many firsts. This project was another first, with the longest deepwater node survey being successfully acquired for ExxonMobil Guyana. We did this safely and efficiently in one of the most congested fields in the world. We worked in true collaboration to deliver an OBN dataset which will deliver value to ExxonMobil for years to come.”
