Oil and gas exploration is experiencing renewed activity across the African continent. This momentum relies on the multiplication of seismic data acquisition campaigns and improvements in subsurface imaging technologies. TGS, an energy data specialist, secured marketing rights for offshore geophysical data in Comoros in November 2025. This agreement provides access to over 10,000 line-kilometers of modern SPAN 2D seismic data, according to the company.
