Katie Applebaum Commercial Lead, Offshore Wind, and Dan Wiseman, Market Researcher at TGS, met with Stefann Perrigot, Director at PES Wind, during the IPF25 in Virginia Beach.
TGS is leveraging its multi-client model to lower industry costs and deliver high-quality site characterization data, streamlining project planning through comprehensive geophysical and geotechnical surveys—all acquired in a single pass. With offshore wind projects demanding deeper seabed insights, TGS’s approach reduces the need for costly repeat surveys and accelerates timelines.
Despite headwinds in the U.S. offshore market, the long-term outlook remains strong. As electrification and energy demands grow—from EVs to data centers—TGS is confident that offshore wind will be vital to meeting future energy needs, supported by local efforts like those from Dominion and Atlantic Shores.
Their message is clear: continued investment in data, infrastructure, and collaboration is essential to avoid stagnation and ensure offshore wind remains a reliable path forward.
