U.S.-Africa Energy Forum: A Platform for Innovation and Investment
Introduction to the Forum
The U.S.-Africa Energy Forum (USAEF) is set to take place in Houston on August 6-7, 2025. This pivotal event is anticipated to draw energy sector leaders and stakeholders, with Kristian Johansen, the Chief Executive Officer of TGS, confirmed as a key speaker. TGS stands out as a global frontrunner in energy data and subsurface intelligence, playing a vital role in boosting exploration and investment across the African continent.
The Significance of Data in Energy Exploration
As African nations gear up for new licensing rounds, farm-outs, and the diversification of energy sources, the demand for quality seismic data and digital solutions is becoming increasingly significant. Access to this type of information is crucial for attracting global investment. TGS’s projects throughout Africa—ranging from deepwater seismic reprocessing to assessments of renewable resources—are empowering governments to showcase technically de-risked and investment-ready land for potential development.
TGS’s Impact Across Africa
Recent developments highlight TGS’s dedication to unlocking Africa’s energy potential. In Angola, the company has embarked on reprocessing legacy data from a block once relinquished by Shell, thereby revealing fresh geological insights that could lead to new exploration opportunities.
Enhancements in the Republic of Congo
In the Republic of Congo, TGS is actively facilitating digitalization efforts to bolster transparency and improve efficiency in upstream operations. This initiative aligns with global trends emphasizing the importance of transparency in attracting investments.
Expanding Frontiers in Tanzania and Benin
TGS has broadened its seismic coverage in Tanzania and Benin, making new frontier acreage available for exploration. These expansions are integral in presenting untapped locations to the market, further improving investment prospects in these regions.
Advancing Multi-Client Seismic Libraries in Mauritania
In Mauritania, TGS is making notable strides by expanding its multi-client 3D seismic library to cover over 101,000 square kilometers offshore. This initiative solidifies the company’s role in driving exploration efforts in promising deepwater areas.
Renewable Energy Opportunities in Cabo Verde
The company’s efforts also extend to renewable energy assessments in Cabo Verde, including offshore wind opportunities. This is part of TGS’s larger commitment to support Africa’s ongoing energy transition, aligning with global sustainability goals.
Enhancing Decision-Making for Investors
TGS’s evolving presence in Africa underscores the essential function of data in amplifying the technical credibility and market appeal of emerging energy opportunities. By providing governments and investors with detailed geological insights and actionable intelligence, TGS enables quicker and more informed decision-making. This is particularly critical in a climate where exploration budgets are tightening worldwide.
Strategic Partnership for Future Development
With multiple licensing rounds expected across the continent, TGS is poised to be a strategic partner for data solutions, assisting African markets in presenting transparent, competitive, and technically validated acreage. Their contributions are essential for fostering a robust and inviting investment landscape.
