Northwest Africa
Northwest Africa has been the shining light of African exploration. That light was cast upon the region through world-class discoveries in Senegal and Mauritania. TGS 2D and 3D seismic in continuous coverage from MSGBC to Liberia, with supporting MBSS geochemistry, continues to prove a working hydrocarbon system here.

West Africa Transform
West African Transform
The West African Transform Margin (WATM) stretches from Sierra Leone in the west to Benin in the east.
What was once frontier territory for oil and gas exploration has had some of the most exciting discoveries in recent years.
West African Salt Basins
West Africa
West Africa contains an intriguing mix of mature and frontier areas, presenting many exciting opportunities for significant discoveries.
Southwest Africa
Southwest Africa
TGS holds the largest and most extensive 2D library in Namibia and South Africa with over 97,500 km and is adding to it by tieing recent discoveries to explore analogous plays.
East Africa
East Africa
East Africa contains several offshore basins, some of which are still unexplored for oil and gas.
TGS offers comprehensive seismic coverage of the region, combined with well data, gravity and magnetic surveys, and other geoscience data.
