Kristian Johansen, CEO of TGS, will join the U.S.-Africa Energy Forum in Houston this August, as the company continues to support upstream investment and energy transition efforts across the African continent through data-driven exploration strategies
HOUSTON, United States of America, May 29, 2025/APO Group/ --
The U.S.-Africa Energy Forum (USAEF), taking place in Houston on August 6-7, 2025, is pleased to announce Kristian Johansen, Chief Executive Officer of TGS, as a featured speaker. TGS is a global leader in energy data and subsurface intelligence, with an expanding footprint across Africa supporting exploration and investment in oil, gas and renewable energy.
As African nations prepare for new licensing rounds, farm-outs and energy diversification, access to high-quality seismic data and digital solutions is proving vital in attracting global capital. TGS’ work across the continent – from deepwater seismic reprocessing to renewable resource assessments – is enabling governments to present technically de-risked, investment-ready acreage to the market.
Recent activity spans some of Africa’s most promising and underexplored regions. In Angola, TGS has reprocessed legacy data in a block previously relinquished by Shell, unlocking new geological insight. In the Republic of Congo, the company is supporting digitalization to enhance transparency and efficiency in upstream development. Expanded seismic coverage in Tanzania and Benin is helping to bring new frontier acreage to market, while in Mauritania, TGS is growing its multi-client 3D seismic library across more than 101,000 square-kilometers offshore – cementing its role in advancing exploration in high-potential deepwater zones. Meanwhile in Cabo Verde, the company is assessing renewable energy opportunities, including offshore wind, as part of its support for Africa’s broader energy transition.
TGS’ growing presence in Africa highlights the critical role of data in enhancing the technical credibility and commercial appeal of emerging energy opportunities. By equipping governments and investors with deeper geological insight and actionable intelligence, the company is enabling faster, more confident decision-making – especially as exploration budgets tighten globally. With multiple licensing rounds anticipated across the continent, TGS continues to serve as a strategic data partner, supporting African markets in presenting transparent, competitive and technically validated acreage.

What a terreble person he is. He is using the guy's death for his own advantage, and the sheeps are clapping. What is the point of putting such a useless writing on this page? Dgiboti's president is not a somalilander to convince him how good you are silaanyo just because you apologised with afew lines of what it seems to be a condolences' message to the people. You need to do it publically and what a shame to do it publically lol
Why are you so angry that someone extends condolence to someones family for a loss? Seriously chill the fug out. You know what dont chill out die of high blood pressure! Then lets see who offers you the same consideration when your dead!
Siilaanyo is the same looser who waited 4 days before giving out condolences to his own people in Ahmed Dhagax, his excuse being as said by Hirsi the midget ‘ he was waiting after the turmoil so e can give out condolences together’.
He need to be told of his priorities as get your house in order first!
you stupid sad darood scumbag, someone has just died and you want to use this platform to spit hate. Typical darood mentality
@Baboon do you serious label everyone who you dislike a ‘Darood’, what gave you the impression that Iam a Darood! Just curious!
I have nothing against the Darood community they are my fellow Somalis FYI iam a proud Somalilander from Hargeisa!
As you said ‘ someone has just dies’ how many people are dying in Somaliland everyday mainly because of this scumbag of a president!
