TGS, CGG and PGS, industry leaders of multi-client geoscience
data, today announced a pioneering strategic partnership to offer a shared
ecosystem providing direct access to their subsurface multi-client data
libraries.
The independent, cloud-based ecosystem will offer a single search point to
access all three companies’ multi-client data and allow customers to
interactively find, visualize and download their subsurface assets and entitlements
all in one place.
“Proactively
supporting our clients’ digital transformation initiatives through the
development of this one-of-a-kind vendor collaborative ecosystem, accessible
from the users’ desktop, is essential to the foundation for any future
development of modern subsurface workflows and beyond,” Kristian Johansen, CEO
at TGS, said.
A beta version is targeted for release in the first quarter of 2021, enabling
clients who own data to review the technology and provide feedback, as well as
giving other commercial data suppliers the opportunity to evaluate the
potential of joining the collaborative approach.
“The industry historically lacked an ecosystem that provided a vendor neutral
single point of access to the industry’s commercial data. This new ecosystem is
platform agnostic, which will enable clients to access multi-client seismic and
geologic data, when and where they need it,” Sophie Zurquiyah, CEO at CGG,
said.
A full launch of the ecosystem is expected in the second half of 2021. TGS,
CGG, and PGS intend to expand the scope of the project in the future to include
additional features, vendors and data types.
“This partnership shows the possibilities when you combine a collaborative
approach with the power and breadth of data and the vision to improve customer
experience. Combining cloud agnostic direct access to three of the largest
multi-client data libraries in one place ensures enhanced efficiency, usability
and reduced lead times, raising the bar on customer experience globally,” Rune
Olav Pedersen, President & CEO at PGS, said.
