TGS, a global leader in energy data and subsurface intelligence, has unveiled a new series of Basin Insight Reports designed to support operators, analysts, and investors in navigating North America’s rapidly evolving energy landscape—estimated to be worth over US$2tn.
These reports combine rich geological data with production trends and economic performance, offering a holistic perspective on basin development dynamics.
Built on TGS' extensive multi-client library, the reports integrate geological, geophysical, and well data to provide in-depth analysis that goes far beyond surface-level observations. The result is a data-driven tool that helps energy professionals better understand what’s driving performance in specific basins—blending insights from the subsurface with real-time production metrics, drilling costs, and operator strategies.
The first in the series explores the differences between the established Legacy Haynesville and the up-and-coming Western Haynesville—often referred to as “Waynesville”—which includes Robertson, Limestone, Freestone, and Leon counties in Texas. This analysis highlights the competitive nature of Waynesville’s well performance and its untapped growth potential, especially when compared with the more mature Legacy Haynesville. One key element that stands out in the Western region is the infrastructure challenge, particularly regarding midstream capabilities required to fully exploit the high-pressure, deep gas reservoirs found there.
David Hajovsky, EVP of Multi-Client at TGS , said,“What we're seeing in the Western Haynesville is a play rapidly approaching Legacy economics, but the infrastructure bottleneck means timing is everything". He also added, "Our Basin Insights Reports provide the integrated view needed to navigate both the geological potential and the logistical realities."
The Basin Insight Reports are structured to support continuous learning and evaluation across various regions. Each edition will focus on a specific basin and provide actionable intelligence to identify high-value drilling opportunities and guide capital allocation. Where available, the reports will be further enhanced by TGS’ vast onshore seismic data, offering greater subsurface clarity and supporting more accurate forecasting.
As TGS expands its onshore seismic acquisition across key basins, the insights offered through these reports are set to grow deeper and more precise, adding even more value for stakeholders across the energy ecosystem. These reports are designed not just for operators and investors, but also for media, analysts, and market commentators looking for reliable, in-depth understanding of changing basin dynamics.
With Basin Insight Reports, TGS positions itself as a critical partner in the energy transition—delivering the kind of integrated, intelligent analysis required to make informed decisions in a fast-moving, high-stakes environment.
