TGS, a global provider of subsurface data and energy intelligence, has awarded a contract to Tape Ark to migrate approximately 40 petabytes of seismic and subsurface data into a cloud environment. The program represents one of the largest cloud-migration initiatives of its kind within the energy sector.
By transitioning tens of petabytes of data into a hyperscale cloud environment, TGS is strengthening the digital foundation that underpins its imaging, analytics, and data-delivery workflows. The initiative will enable:
- On-demand access to TGS锟� global data library
- Scalable high-performance computing for imaging and advanced analytics
- Improved collaboration across subsurface and digital teams
- Faster turnaround times for project delivery and customer workflows
锟絎ith ongoing investment in modernizing our data and technology platform, this migration is a key step in how we continue to evolve TGS锟� data and technology platform,锟� said Wadii El Karkouri, Executive Vice President of Imaging & Technology at TGS. 锟絀t enables greater speed, scale, and flexibility in how our customers access and use subsurface data.锟�
Tape Ark锟絪 ingest platform supports parallel, high-throughput processing across multiple facilities, allowing petabyte-scale datasets to be migrated efficiently and aligned with TGS锟� internal processing and delivery workflows.
锟絋GS has a clear vision for how subsurface data should be accessed and used in a cloud-first environment. Our platform was designed specifically to support migration programs of this scale, and we锟絩e pleased to support TGS as it advances its global digital infrastructure,锟� commented, Guy Holmes, Founder & CEO of Tape Ark.
Under the agreement, Tape Ark will:
- Migrate approximately 40 PB of data into a cloud environment
- Deliver cloud-native data formats compatible with TGS platforms
- Enable faster data availability for internal teams and customers
- Support reduced data-delivery timelines
Once complete, the program will further strengthen TGS锟� ability to deliver scalable, cloud-enabled data access to customers worldwide.
